Log 2


This book is The Happy Prince and Other Tales, there are many stories in it, and I chose the first one, "The Happy Prince", to convey to us the meaning of love and sacrifice through the story of the Happy Prince and the Little Swallow.


First of all, this story makes me feel the compassion and selflessness of the Happy Prince. Although the Happy Prince had passed away and turned into a statue, he did not turn a blind eye to the poverty and suffering in the city, but chose to give up his own jewels to help those who were most in need. His mind became happier than before because he no longer cared only about his own happiness, but felt the happiness of helping others. This reminds me of how important kindness and compassion are in real life.


Secondly, the character of Little Swallow is also touching. Originally, she just wanted to rush to the warm south to spend the winter, but she was touched by the kindness of the Happy Prince and chose to stay with him and become his messenger to help others. In the end, it even gave up its own life. This spirit of dedication makes people feel that true friendship is selfless and without regret.


In addition, the story also reveals the social problems in reality. The statue of the prince is built in the middle of the city, symbolizing a kind of wealth and glory, but in reality, the people in the city are in great poverty. In their quest for materialism and appearance, many people neglect the disadvantaged who are in real need of help.


In the end. God chose the broken hearts of the little swallow and the happy prince to symbolize that true values lie in love and sacrifice, not in external vanity. This made me think that the meaning of life is not in the pursuit of personal pleasure, but in the warmth and good deeds we can bring to others.
