"Little Princes" Comparison

The story written by Connor Grennan describes a unique experience of an adult man who discovered the world and himself by making a decision to travel around the world. Within this paper, I am going to make a comparison of two separated parts of this book located on pages 6-9 and 52-55.

            In the first part of the text, we see a selfish person who is probably an adult factually, but is still behaving as a child. He is living without any responsibilities or particular plans for the future. He speaks about orphanages a little bit ironic, and consider his upcoming journey the kind of entertainment. He believes that his experience of volunteering will be more like an excuse for taking a year of fun, and we clearly understand it when he says ''who would dare begrudge me my year of fun after doing something like that?' (Grennan 7).

            In a contrast to the first part, in the second part of the book, we can see how the main character turns to be a  totally different person. He starts to understand what it is like to feel responsible for someone, who needs care, support and love. The children he meets help him to understand the power of promise and hope. He still remember how much he liked dating women, watching TV and simply going out. He feels like he needs all these activities, but at the same time, he understands how much meaningful and valuable his life could be. 

 

            Comparing these two episodes of book, describes how much a person can change, when he or she decides to change surrounding and to try something new. Even the written style is different for these two parts. In a contrast to the first part, in the second the author uses more weighted and valuable.
