My Personal Reflection Essay

"You are beautiful, but you are empty," he went on. "One could not die for you. To be sure, an ordinary passerby would think that my rose looked just like you--the rose that belongs to me. But in herself alone she is more important than all the hundreds of you other roses: because it is she that I have watered; because it is she that I have put under the glass globe; because it is she that I have sheltered behind the screen; because it is for her that I have killed the caterpillars (except the two or three that we saved to become butterflies); because it is she that I have listened to, when she grumbled, or boasted, or ever sometimes when she said nothing. Because she is my rose.

This quote means that just because you are pretty or just like everyone else you are nothing to me. I also think that this quote means that things are unique to you in different ways. An example of this is when the little Prince wasted so much time on his one rose than all the others. This shows how important the rose is to him.

Also, I can really relate to this quote. I have had many umbrellas in the past and they are nothing to me. My Grandmother died recently and i took her umbrella to remember her by. That umbrella means more to me than a lot of things i have. It isn't the best looking umbrella and it isn't the newest umbrella but it is a special one. It mean a lot to me and i would trade all of the umbrellas in the world for it.

Essay #3

"There are many truths of which the full meaning cannot be realized with personal experience has brought home" I think that this quote means that you will never know something till it actually happens. This quote is like betting. You never know who is going to win until it happens. The last super bowl really brought this quote into thought because everyone thought the giants would lose. The patriots never lost a game that season until the giants beat them. You never know what happened till it happens.

I have had many expirences with this quote. Me and my friends were watching a wrestling ppv. It was royal rumble and in the royal rumble you must throw your opponent out so he can get iliminated. Then It was down to 2 people and we thought we knew who was going to win. We were so sure this person was going to win until a wrestler who was gone for almost a year came back and won. We had no idea that this was going to happen. He ran toward the ring and got in. The other opponent was tired so he came and threw him out of the ring and won the match. He was now able to go and fight for the WWE title. You never know what happens till it happens.
