One day, I watched 38 sunsets. What do you mean?

"One day, I watched 38 sunsets" means that the little prince watched 38 sunsets a day, which means that the little prince was depressed 38 times that day.

This sentence comes from the little prince. The Little Prince is a famous children's short story written by French writer Antoine de Saint-Exupé ry in 1942. The hero of this book is a little prince from another planet. Taking a pilot as the narrator, the book tells the story of all kinds of adventures the little prince experienced when he set off from his own planet to the earth.

Narrative characteristics

Most traditional fairy tales choose omniscient narration, and the narrator is outside the story. The narrator of The Little Prince is "I", which is not only the narrator of fairy tales, but also an important figure. The story of "I" is very simple, but the success of the work lies in that the implied author does not just use "I" as a foil. I not only completes the narrative task, but also deepens the theme of the work.

I am an adult with childlike innocence. Because of innocence, it is difficult for me to identify with the rationality and utility of the adult world, which makes me contradict the so-called "adult" from an early age. Because I am an adult, it is difficult for me to fully understand the innocence and sensibility of the little prince at first, so there is a contradiction between me and the little prince.
