The Little Prince, by Antione de Saint Exupéry, isn't an ordinary story. In fact, it was tailored for the child inside of us, but even as grow-ups we can't seem to understand it fully. However, Saint Exupéry's use of Archetypal theory, the hero's journey in specific, assists the reader throughout the story and eventually reveals the meaning of it. There are conflicting opinions on who exactly goes on this heroic journey. In my opinion, it's only the the little prince: the pilot on the other hand, acts more as the mentor assisting his new friend on his journey. However, this doesn't take away from the fact that as the narrator listens and retells the little prince's story he too experiences this journey, therefore, making his crash at the Sahara Desert unconventional. The little prince starts out in his ordinary world back at asteroid 325, then his beloved rose upsets him with a lie and he learns that he can't trust her anymore. He becomes lonely and as a result decides to leave. Before his departure, there were last minute reconciliations with his rose, however that didn't prevent him from departing on his adventure. At the Sahara Desert, the little prince meets his mentor, a pilot who accidentally crashed and can't find a way out. The two become friends and the pilot helps the prince through his loneliness by drawing him pictures like the sheep in a box, and even listening to his strange stories. Then little prince crosses the threshold. In a way, this part of the heroic…

Knowledge is what makes one thrive and grow, this is best done through the interaction of others. When the Little Prince and the pilot meet, the pilot had just crashed his plane in the Desert of Sahara. The Little Prince asks the pilot to draw him a sheep. Since the pilot had only drawn two drawings in his entire life (a boa constrictor from the outside and a boa constrictor from the inside), he was really confused. When the pilot drew the first sheep, the Little Prince rejected it saying the…

The book I chose for my leadership essay is The Leadership Secrets of Attila the Hun by Wess Roberts, P. This book was recommended to me by a former Ohio State University Military science professor Ret. LTC Mike Lear. Through the ages Attila the Hun has been branded as a barbarian that just leaded from fear and concurred by destroying every living thing in his path. That is far from the truth. Attila was a skilled leader that instilled many of what we would concise modern value into his…

Wherever this man went, destruction and ruin left a path behind him. He was called the “Scourge of God” but most commonly known as Attila the Hun . Attila lived from 406 CE to 453 CE , and most of his battles took place in or around the Roman Empire. Some view Attila the Hun as unsuccessful and unable to finish his military goals and conquests, but Attila’s strategies in military made him successful, as well as the influence his upbringing, reputation, and appearance had on the people. Attila…

as if they are having a conversation with a real, sentient human being. Cleverbot 's capabilities stem from its capacity to "learn" from the users it talks to. For example, it will learn all possible responses to questions like "how are you?" based on how human users respond to the question when asked. On occasion, Cleverbot will even "sing" lyrics to popular songs, speak in different languages, or "have opinions" about certain social topics, based on what human users think and feel. Because…

game, it did not crash, get nervous or nothing of that nature that require inner emotion as its process of playing chess completely differs to the way a human does. A human for the most part do not have a systematic approach to making decisions unlike a machine which is programmed to use a certain method to ultimately conjure up an output, humans on the other hand are very different in their thought process by using instincts to make up their mind, a concept that are completely alien to modern…

Statement of Purpose “How do we ask the turtle to trace out a circle? Remember, it only knows how to walk in straight lines and turn around.” Playing with the Logo turtle on screen in sixth grade was my first exposure to computer science. I was immediately fascinated by the idea of approximating a smooth circle with a regular polygon of, say, 360 sides. Staring at the “circle” on screen, I could not quite digest the fact that it was something produced in a fundamentally different way compared to…

Revolution is a book written by Steven Levy about the early days and what he defined as “True Hackers”. This book starts off talking about the Tech Model Railroad Club in the 1950s all the way to the “Gamer Hackers” of the 1980s. It describes the different equipment that was used during the periods, the skills of the hackers, and the reasons they either became hackers or was interested in computers. Hackers in today’s society are not the same as in the 1950s. Part 1: True Hackers This…

While watching a movie maybe like Disney or Pixar have ever noticed little cameos of pervious characters in new movies. Some appearances might be a mere nod to another story just for the sake of a reference. While others seem to confirm the existence of a timeline shared by several movies. There are various theories about how Disney movies are connected. But there is a network of connections between Frozen, Tangled, Beauty and the Beast, Tarzan, and The Little Mermaid. So how are the movies…

Renowned computer scientists and historians alike have hailed Alan Turing as the “father of the modern computer.” This is no small claim if one considers the tremendous impact computers have on humanity. Innovations like the internet and email have massive effects on everyday life in the modern world, from every call made from a cell phone, to every pixel of data seen on a high-definition television screen, computation of one kind or another is involved in some way. There are countless worthy…
