                      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.

        Anyone can write a good essay if they know what steps to follow. Essay organization makes the difference between a good essay and a poor essay. A student may have some great ideas, but if those ideas are unorganized and becomes difficult to read and despite the great ideas, will not be a good essay. If your paper is unorganized and your reader has to work hard to figure out what you’re saying, you haven’t achieved your purpose. There are three main parts to an essay: the thesis, supporting points, and a conclusion.

The thesis is the purpose of your paper. Point you plan to prove and main idea.

         Supporting points are the evidence you have found to support your thesis. If you can’t come up with very many supporting points, you’d better find a new thesis that you can support with facts. Each supporting point will be its own paragraph.

          Your conclusion is the final component of your essay and summary all point.  In your conclusion, you want to reiterate your thesis, but you don’t want to just repeat words you’ve already written.  This paragraph should be new writing tied closely to your previous points. Once you understand the components that make up an essay, you’ll find that organizing your thoughts becomes easier.

 Here are a few organizational patterns you might consider:

Sequential—This style is particularly conducive when telling a story or relaying events chronologically. Simply double-check that your events are written in the order in which they happened.

Spatially—This arrangement is a perfect fit when describing a scene. Depending upon what works best, you can describe from left to right, bottom to top, center to edge, near to far, or the opposite. These structures will help you take your reader along with you as you explore your observations.

Importance—When writing persuasively or trying to make a point, you'll first want to consider what works best: hooking your reader with your main point and then following up with supportive details, or setting the reader up with the details to lead to your main point. Similarly, do you want to move from your most to your least important point, or vice versa?

Comparison—When comparing two objects or situations to each other, there are two basic organizational patterns. One is to focus on the separate items, describing them in their entirety based on individual characteristics that they have in common. A second pattern is to focus on the characteristics themselves, describing the items as they apply to those characteristics.

Cause and Effect—To explain the connections between an event and what caused it, you can begin with a general statement (either the cause or the effect) and then support that statement with details that represent the other.

            In conclusion, once you've decided upon your topic and your audience—and possibly brainstormed some ideas or even completed your first draft—you'll want to revise by reorganizing your thoughts into a structure or format that works best to convey your message. We learned about all the three main points of how to write a good essay by organizing your ideas before you start writing such as the thesis, supporting points, and the conclusion.
