The ferryman did not recognize him but was impressed with his physical appearance and accepted his request. During their journey the ferryman recognized him that he once dropped him across the river. Ferryman’s name was Vasudeva and was impressed with Siddhartha’s thinking and talking.

Pathos is used many times when James is trying to reach the reader 's emotional side. James Hamblin states “You can look back at your responses, remembering the good things and the feeling nostalgic or remembering the bad and feeling resilient” (Hamblin 3). He is telling the reader, when you look back at old messages, pictures, or notes they are going to have at one point either a memorable impact or an upsetting impact. By James saying this in his article he is using pathos by getting the reader to feel those emotions as if they were looking back at their memories right at that moment.

Each individual embarks on his or her own hero’s journey in life, some finding peace and enlightenment while others suffer greatly. In Hermann Hesse’s novel Siddhartha, the author slowly shows Siddhartha’s path towards finding the self and enlightenment through conflict and resolution. Finding himself is difficult, but once he does, Siddhartha is released from sorrow and depression, which finally enables him to reach enlightenment and peace.

The forced manhood results in an immediate loss of innocence.

I groped for the stair railing in the dark and felt a warm hand take mine.

Campbell’s hero’s journey aids in the analysis of Finding Nemo.

All through The Odyssey, the characters develop in a certain way that interchanges the outcome of the book. Odysseus is able to develop knowledge and wisdom to deal with his men during the battle and the suitors who were frustrating his wife. In addition, he came back home as a hero after the Trojan War. Telemachus developed into a mature man who could deal with any problem in his father’s absence. However, based on the story, it is evident that, Telemachus demonstrates a great change basing upon the times the characters were away from Ithaca.

You could also say that the sky matches the character of The Misfit himself. The Misfit being "empty" inside—he 's lost all sense of what is good, but isn 't keen about being evil either. The Misfit is also the character who, unlike the grandmother, isn 't worried about appearances and

Gregor is taken into a deep state of depression, and he misses the s freedom Heidegger would call superficial he used to have. Kafka describes Gregor’s vison ,of the Charlotte street as a gray sky and gray earth being almost indistinguishably fused, implying that Gregor can no longer see the difference between his happiness and sadness. Gregor is no longer able to relate to the outside world due to his isolation for the past month, causing him severe loneness. The window he looks out of represents all Gregor has left of his fading connection with the outside world. The life he had before his transformation and the life he cannot go back to.

I believe that being happy is one of the best things in the world, and that being sad will not benefit you whatsoever. I believe in bringing a smile to others in even the darkest of times. Life is like a rollercoaster, it has its ups and downs but the ride never comes to a complete stop. My father has had a horrible ride these past few years. His younger brother passed away a few years ago and my father was left heartbroken.

He concludes that every trail he took in life has ultimately resulted in a stalemate. Lastly, he finally finds the characteristics of a quintessential teacher in Vasudeva, a ferryman, and lives with him beside the river. Vasudeva accepts Siddhartha as a disciple when he deduces that the river spoke to him. Siddhartha devotes himself to listen to the river and learns influential lessons from it.

Of the eleven options to read or watch for the paper, I chose to read, the Autobiography of Malcolm X, and Siddhartha by Herman Hesse. The first choice, Autobiography of Malcolm X, was my first choice because it was a book that was a topic in high school history classes and I wanted to gain a better understanding of the book and actually read the book in its entirety. Siddhartha was also a topic when learning the Indian culture and religion in high school history classes so when this was an option given to read, I took advantage of that and read this to concentrate for the assignment. I chose these two books because both covered a different element of life that still affect me and society today. Not only was the time each book had been written

You can use a quote that uses “you.” Just say, George Bernard Shaw said, “Life isn’t about…” 25/25 George Bernard Shaw said, “Life isn’t about finding yourself. Life is about creating yourself.” In Siddhartha, by Herman Hesse, the main protagonist, Siddhartha, searches his whole life for inner peace and understanding of what his life’s purpose is.

Siddhartha’s experiences with the Brahmins, the Samanas, Kamala and the City and as a Ferryman all contribute to his idea of what is right and essentially good. Overall, he leaves the establishments and people he finds because he does not believe their ways anymore but instead wants to pursue something else until he finds peace as a ferryman. Throughout Siddhartha’s journey he encounters people who question what he believes in and show them what they think is the ‘good life’ but he ultimately follows his own beliefs despite of this.
