Summary of chapter 4
The
orphanage was situated in the war-torn town of Nepal. At the beginning, he was
at an undecided on the volunteer job. He had doubts because he thought he did
not have enough skills to carry out the duty, nor did he have enough passion to
carry out the job, especially since the country was at war. This though was
pacified by the children who were daring, buoyant who put up a challenge to him,
and rewarded him in a way he had never thought. When he learned about their
actual situations, and how they overcame them, he was amazed. The children were
not orphans, but children traffickers had brought them in the orphanage. Child
traffickers had promised families in the cities that they would take the
children to a place of safety away from the war, but for a huge amount of fee.
They then abandoned these children in the city of Kathmandu, where there was an
outbreak of war. What seemed to be an adventurous tour turned out to be a
mission; that of uniting these children who had left a mark in his life with
their families.
The
author had talked about, when he returned to Little Princes to work Fund-
raising and he found out that was hard.At the end of September he received an
email from fellow University of Virginia graduate, from person was her name Liz
Flanagan. She wanted get more
information about article in the Charlottesville newspaper. He also received a
lot of emails from people saying they really would like to work with
impoverished children someday. Liz wanted to know if next Generation Nepal was
possibly joined with global organization that could recommend. On Easter morning 2004, Hoi An - Vietnam,
Zambia - with HIV kids, then South Africa, this Christmas she had plan to go to
India. When she was twenty- two, she was in England. Anna Howe, she told me
everything about Humla, same age his mother, they met up after a few days when
he arrived to Nepal, and Anna worked for in Kathmandu, Find Amita in the path
standing on the road holding the two bottles, after that he sent her to Umbrella
Foundation, and he had received a phone call from Gyan. To let him know that
Amita is safe wit Umbrella, they take care of her.
Conor
had for some time tried to find young boys in the Nepal region whose whereabouts
were not clear to him. As he was playing
in the field one day a call came in for him, it was a “Nepali man” called Gyan
and he told Conor that four of the boys had been found and two had been taken to
hospital for they were malnourished. The hospital so congested and unclean but
there was no alternative. Days later the boys pulled through and were taken to
the Umbrella Foundation. Two more boys Kumar and Bishnu were still missing. But
in less than a week Gyan communicated to Conor that Kumar had been found but he
had already been sold as a domestic slave to some government official. Conor had
all the best intentions to get Kumar back but it proved to be difficult to even
attempt it. He wrote an e-mail to Farid for updates but that was not enough
because he felt guilty for not being able to rescue Kumar. Conor then wrote to
Liz who eventually calmed him down
When
after Conor and Farid find out six children, but a child named Bishnu was still
disappear. He has been missing for nine months. Conor has rent an apartment; the
children can be seen from his dwelling place. Nepal’s living conditions was
different with United States, they do not have heating system and very limited
hot water, so when Conor first time lived in his new apartment, he was freezing,
he set up camp in his room. Conor’s lining place has many monkeys, those monkey
often hanging off his Internet cable line and cut off his connection to the
outside. After a period of time, conor build a good relationship with monkeys.
Conor told Liz about his experience, he really wants to Liz visit Nepal and he
invites Liz come to Nepal to see children. Liz thought serious considerations
finally agree Conor’s invitation.
Analysis
The
author is successful in passing his idea to the audience. He uses various
literature devices to tell his story. Suspense is used effectively as the story
makes one wants to know what happens after each page. The author appeals to the
emotions of the people by bringing out the problems these children face.
Connor
showed his humanity in this chapter and how he never gives up finding those
children and he did not know that he can be able to find them but he found the
little princes Amita in the path standing on the road holding the two
bottles.
It
is a memoir written by Conor Grennan about young children being sold as domestic
slavers in Nepal and being forced to survive in the harshest conditions of
starvation and malnutrition. The locals like Gyan seem to know of the illegal
inhuman business but nobody can do anything about it. Worst is that one of the
young boy was sold to a government official which shows how law enforcement is
somehow weak in Nepal especially under the human rights department. The medical
sector in Nepal is also alarming as the best hospital available is not up to
standards.
Chapter
4 was the highlight of the whole book. This chapter describes the Conor and
Farid look for child was a difficult process. In my opinions, since Conor’s
first step on the ground of Nepal, he could not image that he living in this
barren land for three years. And in order to find the lost child home, he went
to Humla several times. You will be surprised that what kind of power makes him
going to there. To tell the truth, I do not know the reason, but when I finished
reading the book, I was impressed by the Conor. Conor has returned to the United
State, in other words, he did not have responsibility to back to the Nepal, but
the child who lived in home of the little prince keep his heart and catch his
all the attention. In the end of this chapter, Conor invited Liz visited Nepal,
this made matting for the back of the plot.
