Pre-Reading IR Book Paragrapghs
The book I am going to read for my independent reading book is Little Princess: One mans promise to bring home the children of Nepal by Conor Grennan. The atmosphere of this story takes place in a small town in Nepal called Godawari, where most people are poor and do not live in sanitary places. The homes are made of mud and some brick. All the people in the houses sleep on straw mattresses and have the heat of a fire. The streets are dirt and the backyards are dirt and a few patches of grass. Overall this little place is a very close neighborhood and scarred by the occurring war.
Little Princess by Conor Grennan occurs when Conor arrives in Nepal in November 2004. This story continues through 2010. When Conor decides to go to Nepal to help children he realizes that Nepal is in the middle of a civil war. Most of Nepal is torn up from the war and government and needs help badly but the war is not over yet. This story was written recently and takes place where no one would think of visiting.
Conor Grennan, the protagonist encounters many issues. He travels to Nepal to help children where their town is torn by the war. Conor also faces the issue of being in the country and trying to find the kids parents he is no where safe. when I was researching I found that the government takes away the kids and says that they are going to be safer with them. But really they take them and people donate things to the kids but the man who takes them keeps the items donated for himself. it is very dangerous to get involved with that and Conor does.
This issue impacts many people today because of all the orphanages in Nepal. Also like I said this did not happen to long ago, only a couple years ago. I believe this impact is serious because families want their kids back and want to not be stolen from. Some of the ways people have tried to solve this issue are by doing what Conor Grennan did. He went over and volunteered with the children to help them find their families and reunite them. Others can also help this way too and many have!

Revised Essay
In "Harrison Bergeron", "The most dangerous game" and "Initiation" all of the stories are focused on being an individual.
Harrison Bergeron is the individual in the story because everyone else is equal but him. In the story, the turning point is when Harrison gets out of jail. This is the turning point because he is different and this is a main point in the story. Without Harrison being an individual, the story would not be fun to read, or be interesting. What I am trying to say is that without Harrison or an individual there would be no story line or plot!
Reading "The most dangerous game" I thought to myself about the point of this story and the characters. I believe the General Zaroff is the individual in the story because he kills animals a different way than normal people. When the other character says "Hunting? Good god, General Zaroff, what you speak of is murder." This quote explains that General Zaroff has a unique way of "hunting" than the rest of the world. Now you can see why General is an individual compared to others in the story.
"Initiation" is a wonderful example of individualism because Millicent, makes a decision for her self that is representing an individual. Consider this; What if Millicent decided to go to the school? What would be the individual in that? Don't you realize that there would be no realistic conclusion if Millicent did not make the decision for her self to go to the school. When Millicent made the decision, she was being an individual and choosing what is best for her, not for others. She decided not to go to the sorority because of her friend back home, but she didn't want to go to the school either. Millicent was the individual in the story and if she wasn't then there would be no conclusion!
