As the class finishes Siddhartha and reads the second half of the book there are many aspects that one can like about it. One aspect is the overall peace of the book and how it is easy to follow. Unlike some of Kafka's work this book has a general message of peace and well being rather then depression and darkness. One thing that is cool about this book is it follows the hero's cycle. This is a kind of way to connect this book to past lessons in the class. Siddhartha is a very interesting man and even though through out his life some times he does not do things that are "right" in his culture he is still a good person on the inside.
One overall aspect of the book that i really liked was the aspect of nirvana and how Siddhartha achieves this. It is very interesting to me how hard it is to reach nirvana and how only a handful of people do. One of these people being Siddhartha. I feel like there is a relationship between people who reaches nirvana and people who face huge horrors in there life. Bother of these people have felt suffering and even though one is not greater then the other the suffering just shows them that they must be happy in life and not duel on the past and they must enjoy every little thing that is present because things can go by so fast.
