Final reflection – The magic of understanding

In the final project of the year, my group and I did The Little Prince. I chose four scenes from the book that can show the main ideas of the writer of the book. The little prince is a comic book tells a fairy tale, but maybe the fairy tales for adults. It taught me that I needed to look at the world through my heart that eyes sometimes lies. In this book, the Little Prince leaves his rose because he thinks the rose doesn’t like him and met the king, and the fox. Finally, he goes back his planet because he finally understands the reasons that the rose has been “mean” to him.

In the scene, there are four characters. The Little Prince is a learner, that he finally understands the rose’s love and goes back to her. The Rose was suit to be a person, who is unreasonable but all she wants is the Little Prince’s love. The King seemed to be a guider that the Little Prince feels the life of an adult and the king led the little prince to the earth.

I played the fox in this scene, and I see her as a teacher. The fox loves the Little Prince so much that she teaches him how to tame her. The fox teaches me that love is letting him free that she seems sad, but she still let the Little Prince leaves. She’s even the one who tells the Little Prince how to understand his love to the rose. I feel like in the love of two, she is great and selfless. Because of the love of the Little Prince, she has to push him to another person’s life with her blooding heart.

I tried so hard to act this character well, because I like her so much. I don’t want to ruin this character. When I first saw the little prince in the scene, I was happy and I asked the Little Prince to tame me. I held my hands up when I said, “it will be as if the sun came to shine my life”. I spoke a little bit faster when he said he has other things to do. I lowered my voice and showed my fear when I talked about the hunters. Then, when the Little Prince said that he needed to go, there’s a change of emotion. I was shy and happy when he tames me, but I suddenly became sad. However, I didn’t yell at him since the fox is always soft, but I started to quiver. I gently told the lover of the fox that his true love is the rose. I truly feel sad about the fox that she said, “it is the time you have wasted for your rose that makes your rose so important.” But indeed, the Little Prince has also wasted time for the fox. It’s maybe the fox that doesn’t have her love that made me love her so much. Anyway, I’m happy that I didn’t ruin the character.

For the staging, the first scene and the forth scene has some stub to be the volcano and the rose is in the middle. The second scene has a desk in the middle and two chairs that the King can sit at. The third scene has background of some herbs and the fox first hided behind. There are three series of music in the middle of the scenes that makes it funny. Overall, the video is great, and I feel like it’s the best one of the year!
