    What's In A Name?

    The Little Prince is an obvious reference to the children's book of the same name. So here is a little info on the story:

    Initially I thought the Little Prince was a reference to Arron, however after reading the this synopsis I believe that it may be more of a reference to Kate. The Little Prince makes several profound and idealistic points about life and human nature. Saint-Exupéry tells of meeting a young prince in the middle of the Sahara. The essence of the book is contained in the famous lines uttered by the fox to the Little Prince: "One cannot see well except with the heart, the essential is invisible to the eyes."(Kate is a character that generally does not generally follow her heart) Other key thematic messages are articulated by the fox, such as: "You become responsible, forever, for what you have tamed"(Kate is now responsible for Arron since she took him from the Island) and "It is the time you have spent with your rose that makes your rose so important. "(Replace 'rose' with the Island, Arron, Jack, or Sawyer and you could apply it to Kate)
