When
he returned to America the first person he saw it was his mother. After that,
when they want to go to their home, his mother saw her friend. He heard news about what happened in Nepal
about the Maoist attacks and the Royal Nepalese Army’s counterattacks in the
Radio. Moreover, when his mother left to the Florida, his friend called him
every night. After a few days, he wants to find the job because he wants to
stay in America. He wrote in the final section of his resume about “Little
Princes Children’s Home, Nepal, Volunteer”. After that, he sent the message to
Viva by e-mail because he wants to back to Nepal and he buys the ticket for
travel and he put the plan for his travel. He lists his plan steps and he went
to Kathmandu. After Kathmandu, he went to Nepal. In addition, he learned a lot
of things about Nepal. Conor Grennan traveled to Nepal again after several
years and he did not tell the children about his coming. Moreover, He worked in
Nepal when the children went to the school.
When
Conor Grennan comes to Nepal again, it has already years past. Conor determines
to find those seven lost kids, and to give them a safe place called “home”. It
is a rather difficult mission for this young American to find seven Nepali kids
in an alien country, especially in a country which is suffering from uprising
and food shortage. Luckily, Conor is not the only one trying to save those
starving kids. Viva, Jacky and Gyan in especial, as well as the other fellows
of the Umbrella Foundation, offer him great help during his finding of the
seven kids. Liz, a like-minded American girl, also encourages Conor to keep on
and shares his bitterness and happiness as an E-pal. All of Conor’s endeavors
and efforts finally push the whole thing into a happy trend. Amite and other
four boys, five in total of those seven lost kids are continuously found in the
other villages. At the end of my reading this time, Conor could eventually take
a two hours sweet nap and share a peace moment with these skinny but brave little
children. Initially, he was reluctant to
volunteer because he was not certain on whether he had any appropriate
competence, or the required passion, to be involved with a country which was
experiencing civil war. However, he was soon convinced by a number of resilient
children who often challenged him and rewarded him more than he would expect
(Grennan 137). Conor learnt that those children were not orphans but had been
taken by child traffickers who had promised their families to take them to safety
because of the war for a big amount of fee. These traffickers would then later
abandon these children far from their homes along the Nepal’s capital (Grennan
143).What began as an adventure for Conor, became a commitment to reunite those
kids with their families. Conor had grown fond of these kids, but the task of
reuniting them with their families wasn’t going to be easy. He had to risk his
own life through a journey faced by the dangers of the civil war along the
Nepal Mountains. There was a Woman back at Kathmandu who waited for him hoping
that he would arrive before the snow could trap him. This woman eventually
became his wife (Grennan 148). Little Princes is not only a true story but
enjoyable. It shows how much one is capable of doing when faced by extreme
problems. Little Princes is quite a hilarious story that reveals how strong
faith and love can take us through issues that are beyond our expectation.
Analysis
Conor wrote about some events in
the third part of this book. The first part of chapter three shows a story
about how he returned from American, and he explained about the feeling when he
saw his mother. He heard about the attacks in Nepal in the Radio. After his
mother left to Florida, he sent a message to Viva by e-mail telling her that he
wants to come back to Nepal. He bought the ticket, and before he went to Nepal
he went to Kathmandu. In the second part of chapter three the author shows the
events about when he arrived to Nepal it was one year from when he traveled. He
found a job in Nepal and started working while the kids were at school. Conor
promised to find the seven lost children, and give them a safe home. It seems
impossible mission for Conor to find these children in country which is
suffering from uprising and food shortage. Conor was lucky, because he wasn’t
alone Viva, Jacky and Gyan in especial, as well as the other fellows of the
Umbrella Foundation. They were willing to help him to find these children. Liz
also supported him to keep searching for these kids. Conor continued to search
for the children, from seven children he found five of them. At the end, thios
whole mission was not easy while he had to risk his life but he successfully returned
the children with their families. While he was in his trip around the mountain
there was a woman at Kathmandu who was waiting for him, she was hoping that he
arrive before the snow. In the end this woman became his wife.
