All By Himself

My prediction from my last blog so far is wrong, I thought Siddhartha would come back to the Illuminated one and his teachings but he hasn't. He is still reflecting on his life and who he is and wants to be. " I am no longer what I was, I am no longer ascetic, no longer a priest, no longer a Brahmin." (Pg 33). He decides that he will not look back and return to his house or return to the Illuminated One and Govinda, he will move on by himself.

New Important Vocabulary:
Scorned ("...who scorned diversity, who sought unity." Pg 32)

Secluded (" Even the most secluded hermit..." Pg 33)
