Another Hero...

Throughout the book I have noticed that Siddhartha is very determined. Even though he has not found what he is searching for with the Samanas, the Brahmins or with Gotama, he is still searching, and will not give up. Still Siddhartha has been able to learn different things along the way. For example he learned that getting rid of the "Self" is not the way to achieve what he wants to accomplish, so now he is trying to understand it. He is going through different paths to get where he wants to go, but the ones he has gone through so far have not led him there. What Siddhartha does, reminds me of what Jesus does. He is trying to find a way to get people to follow him and believe in his teachings of God. Not many people believe that he is God's son so he uses different things like parabolas and miracles to convince them, and get them to trust him. Siddhartha wants to find inner peace and Jesus wants to help others find God. They are both searching for something, however Jesus is searching so that he can help others find their way to God, and Siddhartha is searching for inner peace and all for himself.
