    One of the greatest poetic minds of the 20th Century once said, “Poetry is not a turning loose of emotion, but an escape from emotion; it is not the expression of personality, but an escape from personality. But, of course, only those who have personality and emotions know what it means to want to escape from these things.” It was Solari’s chief aspiration to show this to the world. “The Death and Transfiguration of a Teacher” was the story of a classroom full of children that slaughtered their teacher out of the clear blue, and then, “cannibalistically disposed of her remains.”(Solari 198) The children are then individually questioned, there is an exchange of money on the part of each child’s parents, and after a while, all was, “conveniently forgotten”. (Solari 201) Solari’s use of magical realism immensely impacted the shape of the story, and shows the importance of poetry by elucidating the disarray that would follow if poetry was ever to be eradicated from society’s consciousness.…

    The narrator and the little prince make many mistakes and go through many learning experiences before they realize that what appears on the surface is not essential. At the beginning of the novella, the narrator draws a boa constrictor digesting an elephant, but the adults who see the drawing fail to understand its true meaning. The adults scoff, “Why should anyone be frightened by a hat?” (Exupery 4) They only see a hat because they fail to look beneath the surface of the picture. The narrator describes the children’s frustration to have to explain everything to the dull and unimaginative adults who tend to live monotonous and unfulfilled lives. After being stranded in the desert for eight days, the narrator is running out of water and dying of thirst. While searching for water, the little prince points out…
