Objects don’t respond to attention but they allow one to develop an attachment to them. People often find themselves using the same cup for their coffee, or passing along a piece of jewelry for generations to cherish the memories that it evokes. Our lives become richer as one makes connections with their environment. In the Little Prince by Antoine de Saint-Exupéry [1943] it is emphasized through the "taming of the fox”, that people fail to realize the emotions attached to a particular material and solely base an account of it. In this novella, the reader is forced to think about what it means to form a relationship with another; the process allows a special bond to form between the tamer and the tamed, it cannot be compared or equated with anything else as it is unique to the two individuals that partake in the taming. To begin with, the fox tells the prince that "to tame means to create ties" (59). These ties allow the tamer and the tamed to become significant to one another. In other words, ties are relationships that are built on a foundation constructed of patience, sacrifice, determination, and responsibility. These principles are constantly put into practice and without the process of taming they would lose their worthiness. For the King: "the world is extremely simplified: All men are subjects"(28). The king's rule is solely based on complete obedience of his subjects, he makes no sacrifices and holds no responsibilities therefore he fails to create valuable
Machiavelli recommends the rulers to follow the good qualities, unless needs to protect himself from a vice who would not lose the state for him or be prudent enough to escape a vice who would lose the state for him.
The United States Government has developed techniques and agencies to help capture and imprison terrorists including; the Department of Homeland Security and Guantanamo Bay Naval Station. Each of these Departments has one goal and that is to protect America from terrorism. Taking this large goal on leaves many questions for the government and the people of America; how far is too far? Are terrorist entitled to human rights? These questions are discussed and disagreed with quite frequently.
“For it must be noted, that men must either be caressed or else annihilated; they will revenge themselves for small injuries, but cannot do so for great ones; the injury therefore that we do to a man must be such that we need not fear his vengeance.”
The play Prince of Egypt directed by Scott Schwartz an American child actor who participated in Toy Story and now a director has shown his vision of the marvelous play in the Silicon Valley TheatreWorks. Additionally, the play itself is dramatic and musical. To sum the play, an orphan Hebrew was found near the river and was brought into one of the most prestigious family in Egypt. A huge amount of time has passed seeing Moses (Hebrew child) and Ramses (Son of the Pharaoh) growing up together into adults. However, a war caused the sickness or death of the Pharaoh, which leads Ramses to be the new leader. Moses and Ramses has a strong bond between each other, until Moses finds out his true identity; which is being born as a Hebrew. Eventually finding out his true self, his goals were to free the Hebrews being captive by the Pharaoh, which in this case it is now Ramses. With hard work and determination, Moses has fulfilled his duty to free his people. In the ending of the play, I was amazed and enjoyed the play. Therefore, I wished for another seeing of this beautiful work just by how the themes, plot, creative staging, and the passion of the director is put out there to everyone else.
A Christmas Prince is a holiday fairy tale with a picturesque mythical mountain kingdom, Christmas violins, a shimmering castle ball, and horses prancing through the snow. A smart and beautiful but mildly dishonest heroine and a handsome prince complete the picture. It's a familiar story, but has enough charm and even a few twists to add a little bit of suspense. Other than a brief moment with a menacing wolf and a fall from a horse, there's no jeopardy and no real suspense. The movie is filled with wholesome messages about staying true to oneself and listening to your heart.

In particular, he offers up a critique on how many individuals value saving time and efficiency over anything else. The titular character witnesses this first hand through his various interactions with grownups along his journey. He meets characters who are enthralled with task at hand and they they would not “waste time” to enjoy other things in life that may be more meaningful.The novella is able to convey the fact that society has become overly consumed with the pursuit of efficiency although taking your time is often more rewarding than rushing in an attempt to save time.
In The Little Prince written by Antoine de Saint-Exupéry the term “taming” simply means creating friendships between you and someone else, choosing someone to be there by your side out of a group of others. First off, a scene that supports this claim is when the fox asks the little prince to tame him and explains that in taming, people do not understand how “one day is different from the other days” (61). This leads to the conclusion that taming means creating a bond with someone, and you will realize that someone is different from others. Another scene in the book that leads to the conclusion of what taming means is when the little prince says “there's a flower… I think she's tamed me” (59). This helps understand the meaning of taming because

While trying to repair his plane, he is interrupted by a little boy who asks him to draw him sheep. As he begins to draw the sheep, a series of conversations between him and the Little Prince occur. The narrator learns that the Little Prince comes from Asteroid, where he left a very important rose and three volcanoes. Before he arrived on Earth, he visited other planets and met other people, like a king, a conceited man, a drinker, a lamplighter, and a geographer. On Earth, he met a fox who taught him to realize that to know others, we must tame them, which what makes people and things unique. Later, the Little Prince goes back home to reunite with his rose, after he let a poisonous snake bite him. He allows the snake to bite him because he believes the snake has the power to send him back to his home on the Asteroid. The narrator finally fixes the plane and leaves for home, hoping that the Little Prince is safe back at home too. In the years after, the narrator still hears the Little Prince’s laugh and feels warm in his heart.

Obviously, Matthew says vanity instead of materialism but both interpretations apply. Again, Thurber is sneaky and spectacular with his metaphors. The tin box and the handsome prince would have made her happy, but the expensive jewel-box stood for a life easier and less complicated. Jelena also breaks down this tale of Thurber’s by saying:
