PLOT:.
Expositon:.
At the beginging of the story we find Saint-Exupéry explaining to us when he was a kid how he didn't like grown-ups because they have no imagination. Everything has to be in figures. He then draws an elephant in side of a boaconstrictor, while showing it to the grown-ups he tells us at that point he left drawing and studied math and english and geography. And how one day he met the Little Prince.
CONFLICT:.
The conflict in the story is of the narrator is in conflict with the Little Prince's beliefs of the adult world. Also his child-like perspectives.
One event that makes the situation more suspenseful is every time the narrator would ask him a question he would never answer. Yet every time the little Prince asked him a question he had to answer. The Little Prince revealed everything to him very slowly. For Example " The little prince, who asked me so many questions, never seemed to hear the ones I asked him. It was from words dropped by chance that, little by little, everything was revealed to me."" (page 10-11).
