He feels as if the stars are mocking him, because they are beautiful, shining, and fill the sky by the thousands, while he is an eye sore and alone. The stars and trees also symbolize the people he’s encountered throughout his short lifetime, specifically the family he secretly studies and learns from. He sees them happy and together and he longs for that feeling, but knows he’ll never fully attain it. However, he willingly gives chances for people to accept him. Each time the monster interacts with humans, walking through villages, approaching De Lacey, saving the drowning girl, or searching for the approval of Frankenstein, is represented by a portion of the selected passage: “now and then the sweet voice of a bird burst forth amidst the universal stillness.” After spending long periods of time in isolation, the monster deserts his “stillness” and gives humans a chance to accept him, when a “sweet voice of a bird burst forth.” These bursts of the songbird represent the times of the monster’s great desire to be accepted and introduced into a normal life, but inevitably fail and he is forced to return to his “universal
Elisa perks up for a moment and makes a suggestion that she could accomplish working out in the orchards, only to have Henry shut her down by saying “well it sure works with the flowers”.

When the tinker enters the story, Elisa’s initial reaction towards him is non-engaging, almost irritated. The tinker being an opportunist sees the flowers as a way to make a sale.
However, the protagonist of the story is the little prince, who in his journey around the Universe, has decided to visit Earth. The narrator, who is a pilot, remembers that after a plane accident was forced to land in the desert where he first made the acquaintance of the little prince. This is also the moment when the contrast between the two is set: the innocence of the little prince contrasting with the maturity of the narrator, who is always worried about his engine and ‘’maters of consequence”(Ch. 7). As the prince tells his story and describes the people he has met on other planets, we see that our narrator is nothing like those.
This shows the prince thinks that grown-ups have limited priorities. It’s silly to the prince that adults worry over routine, material matters when there are other things that are more important, such as questions about relationships and the universe. After the prince has left, the narrator looks at the sky and asks himself if the sheep has eaten the flower. H realizes that the answer changes his entire view of the world. The prince’s innocent and child-like perspective is more important or greater than the
