His work: The Picture of Dorian Gray The Happy Prince and Other Tales The Ballad of Reading Gaol Lady Windermeres Fan The Soul of Man Under SocialismThe happy princeThe little swallow The Happy Prince and Other Tales (also sometimes called The Happy Prince and Other Stories) is an 1888 collection of stories for children by Oscar Wilde. It is most famous for The Happy Prince, the short tale of a metal statue who befriends a migratory bird. Together, they bring happiness to others, in life as well as in death. A statue of a privileged prince develops a social conscience and a swallow intends to pause just a moment to assist him. Together they conspire to bring a modicum of contentment, financial security, and compassion to the beleaguered poor of a nameless city in northern Europe and both receive their rewards in a heavenly paradise. In this morality tale originally intended for the childlike rather than the child, Wilde addresses issues of social injustice, the loss of innocence, and the redemptive power of love. The otherwise verbatim retelling of the original contains two omissions: reference to Jewish merchants in the ghetto and part of a descriptive passage of life on the Nile that included pygmies and strange religious practices Deep is an idea, moving tales of spirits. In order to save the less fortunate: the suffering of children, the poor people. “The Happy Prince“ gave up his sword on the C Ruby, whos gold and sapphire inlaid eyes. His color more and more bleak, but the feeling is more noble. The Flying Swallow another article, the protagonist: it pure, lively, warm, kind-hearted, but also with the characteristics of children. The Happy Prince in the spirit of self-sacrifice inspired to become fortunate for the messenger of happiness. It is also the last to die happy, like Prince: a kind of tragic beauty. This fairy tale prince expressed his pleasure in good faith to praise the face of life care has been much praise. Also expressed sympathy for the people of the lower classes, which have a clear-cut positive realism. Although the full text of the shows sad and dreary tone, but also nipping Long long ago, there was a very beautiful statue of the Happy Prince stood in a city square. When he was alive, he lived a very happy life in a wonderful palace. He was very happy, so he thought that everyone was happy. But now he could see people suffer, and he begged a little swallow to take the jewellery on his body to the poor people. Finally, the statue of the Happy Prince became very awful, and the little swallow was dead because of the cold, but they got real happyAfter reading this story, I think the Happy Prince and the little swallow are great, because they helped other people, and they got the real happy. Children in the story said:” He looks like an angel.” I think that he isnt the real angel, but he is as kind as an angel. Whats the real happy? It isnt the expensive jewellery, beautiful dress or too much money, I think when you help other people, and you could feel happy. Thank youGood bye结束结束
