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.

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.
