Siddhartha blogposts I and II

Blogpost I : Section 1

I really can connect with this book, because of my beliefs, I like the way the author explains the story. I as Siddhartha in the section follow the teachings, and try to find a way to "illumination". I try to follow his steps, not to become the next Buddha, but the way he saw life and learn how to appreciate every second of it. I believe as the Bible the story of Siddhartha has many perspectives and many ways to interpret it. I believe this because this version of the story add things I had never seen before, and lacks of other things. But still I think it is because of the author telling the story. I haven't gone from my house to seek for knowledge, but I have attended classes and retreats. In this retreats I have heard the teachings of Buddha and many other illustrious men and women. This teachings help other beginners like me to start their path to live the life they are seeking for. I have really learned a lot of this "classes"like Buddha learned from the Samanas and the elders. What will happen to Sidhhartha now that he started his journey? Will he find what he is looking for? Will he motivate people to follow his teachings?

Blogpost II: Section 2

The more I read this book the more I find it similar to other books of the Buddha. For example the book "El Budacrita" is a book about the life of Buddha, in spanish. They are similar because the words they use and the story is mostly the same, except some little details, as I said due to perspective. I also read another book long ago I don't remember the name that was practically the same to this one we are reading. This book reminds me of the movie "Spirited Away" they have totally different topics, but I made a rare connection. In the movie Chihiro (the main character) enters a world of fantasy, in which she has to work and win her parent back. They have been converted into pigs. But I connect to the movie because as Buddha, Chihiro looks by herself how to get out of this strange dream. She keeps with her beliefs, but tries to look at them in another way. When she starts to understand the fantasy world, is like Buddha understanding he doesn't want to follow anyones teachings.
