WEEK 6
Summary of "The little Prince"
This book tells the story about the little prince who looks for something to find but doesnt really gets answer maybe because he doesn`t know what he is searching for. Through his trips to foreign planets, after he left his own, he finally lands on the earth where he ends up in the desert, finding a stranded pilot who leads us through the story of the little prince.
In a gentle way it descripes modern issues about time, purpose and life in general.
It also embraces the way of love and trust, its importance and difficulties. Perhaps we should use his thoughts as an example of being and living. Make the good out of whatever we have.

WEEK 5
This weeks question asks: Do you want to be friends with the main character, give five reasons.
Spontaneously I would answer with yes, I would.
The reasons why:
1. Justin is a broken sould and i would like to help him, would like to tell him that the world is not that dark as he thinks it is.
2. He needs someone who he can rely on and I would try to be there for him.
3. He could tell me why he feels the way he does.
4. And because he listens when you have something to tell also.
5. But actually I think there are no reasons why you want to be friends with someone. It just happens or not. Important is to stay at the same level and to feel homeful all the time.

WEEK 4
This week we find 4 songs covering the book`s content. I have chosen them mainly by the lyrics but also by the feeling the music (intstrumental) gives.
FIRST SONG- WHAT IF BY COLDPLAY
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FdD6RMICpfg
Even the title matches perfectly. David (Justin) is afraid of what could happen so he thinks about the WHAT IF.
"What if there was no light
Nothing wrong, nothing right
What if there was no time"The song expresses the feelings Justin goes through. You can almost hear his pondering in his head about things in life, things you cannot control.
SECOND SONG- HOPE BY JOHN FRUSCIANTE
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rhtnGoSLI9Q
"I wouldn't know my face if you all were me
All we have is all we see
There is no more hope
There are no dreams"
This song is really strong and heavy in my opinion. It inspires one to think a lot about yourself within the world and procures a deep sadness; sadness Justin feels which he can`t understand.
THIRD SONG- RUSTED FROM THE RAIN BY BILLY TALENT
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RAOnUF8t20w
"Dissect me 'til me blood runs
Down into the drain.
My bitter heart is pumping
Oil into my veins"
Transferred Justins desperation in the worst part. He is deeply hurt, so much that even pain doesn`t make him feel anymore. It is like he gave himself up.
FORTH SONG-I`M HIDING BY KORN
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EG_639c0vSM
"Right now feeling pain
Make it go away"
This song describes the relationship between Angus and Justin combined with his depressed feelings. He suffers harm but believes in Angus who he has desires with.

WEEK 3
3 Questions and a lot of answers
1. Why is Justin afraid to be caught by destiny?
Justin or to speak in his real name David saw his little brother almost die. His little brother was convinced to be like a bird, free and able to fly. Just in the last second he realized the danger and didn't jumped from the windw ledge. But in Justin\David the fear of unawareness settled down and he thought its just a question of time until something bad will happen to him. That is why he decided to flee from his destiny.
2. What did it mean to him to meet Anges?
The Girl Anges appeared strange the first time to him. But after time Justin felt attracted to her and his world changed. She was the one who used him for his pictures, found interest in a broken soul she used, not really by attention but by an unexplained feeling. For Justin she became a solution, but the thought got broken as she didn't feel the same. In fact Anges was it who helped him standing up, but is also the one who broke him down again.
3. What gives Justin the feeling of loneliness in the world?
Justin grew, he fell and he got lost in the labyrinth of the world outside the one he knew as a child. In fact its nothing more then his damaged self-confidence and the accident at the airport were the impossible happened. The explosion showed him that it doesn't matter who you are, destiny is faster than you.
