Question

Description acceptable. The painter Hedda Sterne encouraged the use of these artworks, which include depictions of animals inspired by the creator’s lover Silvia Reinhardt and her black poodle. A character makes one of these artworks depicting a yellow-shaded figure falling “softly as a tree falls” in front of two hills, then reproduces it in the next chapter without that figure and calls it “the loveliest and the saddest landscape (-5[1])in the world.” After three failed attempts, the frustrated narrator creates one of these artworks (10[1])depicting a box with three air holes that he claims (10[1])contains a sheep. (10[5])Adults mistake (10[1]-5[1])one of (10[1])these artworks (10[2])for a depiction of a hat, (10[4]-5[2])but the title (-5[1])character recognizes it as a boa constrictor swallowing an elephant. For 10 points, identify these artworks made by a pilot in a novella by Antoine de Saint-Exupéry ■END■ (10[3]0[1])

ANSWER: illustrations in The Little Prince [accept watercolors, paintings, drawings, or art in place of “illustrations”; accept Le Petit Prince in place of “The Little Prince”; accept illustrations by the narrator of The Little Prince or the pilot in The Little Prince or equivalents; prompt on illustrations, paintings, drawings, or art by Antoine de Saint-Exupéry by asking “from what literary work?”; reject “drawings by the Little Prince” or equivalents]
