Little
Princess: Chapter Analysis
Little
Princes: One Man's Promise to Bring Home the Lost Children of Nepal is a story
written by Conor Grennan regarding child trafficking. This analysis paper aims
to discuss the part five of the book which is entitled as Liz. This will allow the
reader to understand the concept of part five ‘Liz’ in context of the book provided
by the author.
As
a matter of fact, Liz was Grennan’s friend at the time when he was involved in
saving the lives of children who were abducted from their homes and sold to
people involved in human trafficking. The chapter discusses that Liz has been
very supportive to Grennan. She was a social worker and loved to help people in
need. The author noted that Liz fell in love with those children and felt that
it was her own children. Although she knew that Grennan was going to risk his
life, Liz never stopped him.
Furthermore, Grennan realized that he likes
Liz and that she would make a perfect match for him. He was nervous to approach
her at first. However, later in the chapter he did what his heart told him to. He
proposed Liz and they were together thereafter. Liz wasn't just an email pal to
Grennan. She was more than that. She was his inspiration. Though not present
physically, Liz was always with him through her emails. Her presence in
Grennan's life whether it be through emails or in person always encouraged him.
In fact, the chapter pertains to inform the readers that Liz ultimately became
a motivation force to Grennan.
The meaning that comes forth from the part
five of the book is that Liz was able to picture herself in the position of
those children and she believed that there was nothing more imperative than
saving those children. The chapter also gives an indication that Liz wanted to
acknowledged the achievement of Grennan in her work so as to spread the
information regarding children and especially little girls being abducted all over the world.

Little Princes
Description: Liz
This
part of the novel talked about Liz coming to Nepal, Grennan telling his story
of Humla to the children of Dhaulagiri. This part also mentioned finding
Bishnu, the last one of the seven children for whom Grennan came back to Nepal.
In
this part, Liz, Grennan’s email friend who by now was more than just a friend
came to Nepal. This was when Grennan
just returned from about a month long journey from Humla. Grennan was excited to tell his story to everyone
and at the same time fascinated by hearing Liz’s voice instead of reading her
email. Back in “next generation Nepal” he learned that now have twenty six
children. However, the rescue of the children living in Dhaulagiri had not gone
as planned. They were not able do anything about the child trafficker. The
situation got worse when the traffickers made it seem as if the author and his
friends were trying to steal children.
Two
days later, Liz met with the children. The children especially girls seem to
like her at once. Then came the time
when Grennan showed the pictures of their parents to the children. Each and every
child looked happy to see their parents’ picture and to know that they still
care about them except two orphans Raju and Priya. Grennan couldn’t have told
them anything more than the harsh reality of their life that their parents were
not alive. The day Liz left; Connor had a hard time asking Liz to come back.
However, He gathered all his courage and told her that the children would be
more than happy to see her again. Liz on her side replied that she would love
to meet them again too.
Almost
a week since they had spoken, Liz came back to Nepal and spent time with
Grennan and the children for about seven days. They were happy and enjoyed
being together. Two weeks after Liz left, Grennan went to the English language
bookstore in Thamel and bought a bible just to get to know Liz better.
On January 30, he got a call from Jacky
who tells him that Gyan has located ‘Bishnu’ the last one of the seven
children. But the problem was Bishnu was sold as a domestic slave to a wealthy
businessman of Nepal. It was a difficult situation. The person was not willing
to hand Bishnu to them. The person pushed Grennans hand aside and grabbed the
doorknob when Grennan refuse to give Bishnu back. Jacky then quickly called the
mayor. When the Mayor shouted at the bank manager, the bank walked out with all
the anger in his head. Later, Grennan
realized that the only person who believed that finding Bishnu was possible was
Liz.
Liz
and Grennan continued writing many times every day. They were writing about
their days and what did they do on that day. Even more, not only Grennan was
interested in Liz’s life there were also two girls from Dhaulagiri where he was
in that time. The two girls were thinking that Grennan and Liz were more than
friends even when he told them that they were just friends. As a result, Grennan
told Liz to e-mail the girls and say that we are just friend so that they
believe him. Grennan hinted in his e-mails that he would like her to come and
visit him. After a month Liz said that she will come to visit him. Grennan was
excited when he got the news and told everyone. Liz stayed with him for a short
and fun seven days. After that visit Grennan started to love her and misses
her, also Liz had the same feeling and she told him many times how she wanted
to be with Grennan. Eventually, Grennan proposed her and they are together
since then.
This
part of the novel gave light on Liz meeting Grennan, Grennan reuniting the
children with their parents, Grennan finding the seveth child and Grennan
proposing Liz. In conclusion, this was pretty happy ending.
