Many people come about numerous crossroads in their life and deciding whether to follow sentiment or reason creates many battles between their best interests. Throughout Sayuri’s journey she struggles with an abundant number of decisions in which to pursue. Sometimes these decisions, though they may seem to take negative turns sometimes, happen for the better and happen to have a way of working themselves out.
There are two sides of Sayuri. Chiyo symbolizes her wants and the emotional side of her personality while Sayuri is sensible and logical. She is always torn between the two positions for the reason that although the Sayuri side of her tells her what is the right decision for her in terms of living and survival, the Chiyo side tells her to follow her heart. The decisions that she has made based on this has gotten her into trouble and others have given her a ray of light.
When Sayuri was young her sister had been taken away and her mother and father passed away all of which within a very short period of time.

On the contrary, the news of what she had done had been conveyed to Nobu by the Chairman and Nobu had lost interest of her there after. This had given the Chairman, who was Sayuri’s main interest, a chance to show him what his real intentions had been. It was he who had arranged Mameha to take in Sayuri as an apprentice and learn the proper ways of being a geisha.
If Sayuri had been successful in running away then most likely she would have ended up on the streets and been a peasant girl but instead as a result of her unsuccessful attempt she was forced into
