Siddhartha


            Society's youth today reflects much of what is said and portrayed in Siddhartha's life. Siddhartha had to make many decisions in his life that affected him forever. Teens, such as myself, also make decisions involving the future, high school, friends, and other activities. .
             Siddhartha's main goal is finding a place and destiny in life. It seems awkward to say that teens are finding a "destiny", but in reality, high school students are trying to find a place in which they fit in, in other words, a "clique." There are many conflicting ideas and misunderstanding viewpoints between adults and teens. This is shown with Siddhartha as well. Siddhartha rebelled against his fathers" wants by leaving his house. After being persistent of leaving his house, Siddhartha's father reluctantly allowed him to move on; however, conflict did occur. .
             Future is a huge question that is related to Siddhartha and youth today. It is something I face almost every day. Siddhartha was uncertain of his future and what path he wanted to take, either the samana way, to become an "enlightened one," or the luxurious game life. I am debating whether to stay in the IB program, what college I would like to attend, and what leisure activities I choose to engage in.
             Reading the novel, Siddhartha has actually helped and encouraged me in many ways. It forced me to look at questions involving the future, adults, friends, and rebellion and owing this handy book will be useful even when I go off to college. Siddhartha, like many teens share similar problems when choosing their "path of life," but in reality, everyone has lived through such situations, others just realizing it more.
