1. How is Siddhartha psychological journey? http://www2.d125.org/~rtompson/Enlightenmentdiscussion.pdf
Siddhartha is a psychological journey because he is faced with the internal conflict of wanting a deeper relationship with himself, seeing more to his life, but it goes against how he was raised. He wants more out of his life but it would mean leaving his past lie behind, completely. Wanting more for himself means being different and wrong n his culture. His thought process goes against everything he was brought up to believe in so he must have internal conflict with the fact that he does think differently, is it wrong?
2. What is the theme? http://classiclit.about.com/od/Siddhartha-H-Hesse/a/Siddhartha-Questions-For-Study-And-Discussion.htm
I think the theme is about having the strength to know what your purpose in life is, the strength to leave all comfort behind to pursue a better life.
3. What does the snake symbolize? https://www.blogger.com/blogger.g?blogID=7439579461105042131#editor/target=post;postID=6969033676947262615
The snake in his path symbolizes evil. He has to move around it to be safe from harm. It could be what his culture depicts as evil, therefore it is in his path because he is straying from the normal flow.
4. How did you relate to the passage we read? https://www.blogger.com/blogger.g?blogID=7439579461105042131#editor/target=post;postID=6969033676947262615
I related to the passage we read because we're moving forward with our new life ad we can't look back too much or else we might stop moving forward and start moving backward. We are in the beginning stages of our brand ne life we are making for ourselves. The difference is that we all hopefully have supportive family and culture!
