"Siddhartha" Quote Analysis

"Siddhartha" by Hermann Hesse

In summarizing how Siddhartha has changed, this quote uses a lot of repetition. Herman Hesse uses “slowly,” “a little,” and “like” to emphasize the intensity of Siddhartha’s thoughts and feelings. In addition to that, Hesse further strengthens this by using a simile as well as multiple alliterations. All of these rhetorical devices give off a sort of ominous feel like Pandora has just opened the box. The purpose of the quote is to give a sense of weight, to show how weighed down Siddhartha has become. “Slowly the soul sickness of the rich crept over him. Like a veil, like a thin mist, a weariness settled on Siddhartha, slowly, every day a little thicker, every month a little darker, every year a little bit heavier.” Each moment he stays he is becoming more and more like the child people. He is being grounded, almost tied down to this life. At this point he has become a gambler, taking on more even more of the same traits that he once found incomprehensible. The relevance of the quote is to show how far Siddhartha is slipping away. How far he had to fall before he could start picking himself back up again.

What is Real, Anyways

One bright day in the middle of night two dead boys rose to fight. Back to back they faced each other, drew their swords and shot one another. A deaf policeman heard the noise, and saved the lives of the two dead boys. If you don't believe this lie is true, ask the blind man, he saw it too.

I read this on a myspace bulletin a while ago, and its stuck with me..reading it the first time you might not notice the contradictions, but upon further examination it's so contradicting that it completely denies itself. Like most of everything in life, nothing is what it seems. At first you might read about two boys who killed each other. But looking closer it unfolds itself, like most of the people you might meet and work with. It's important to re-examine everything. Because nothing is as it seems.

Special & Be What You Want To

George Carlin has this joke about how if every child is special then isn't every adult special and what if not then when do they just stop being so special? And it's pretty funny if you listen to him say it, but if you just think about it, it's completely true. I hate to say something so sadistic sounding, but every child is definately not special. Because if they all are, then none of them are. And i hate to say it, but you know it makes sense somewhere in unconcios thoughts. Because i know personally that not everybody gets to be special. or maybe i'm wrong, maybe everybody does get to be special, but if everyones special no one is....except the people the that arent..and that doesn't really make much sense. sorry for that. Anyways, just going through some tough times right now and this is one of the things crossing my mind. They say you can grow up to be whatever you want, but you can't be a bird, or a dog. And if you suck at math you can't be a chemist, if you can't draw you can't be an architect. If you can't write well you can't be a journalist. These are two theories i've found to be false, the special and be what you want to theory. But dont trust me on this, because advice and beliefs are just a complicated form of nostalgia.

Surgerical Invasion

Surgery, the thought of it alone makes me shiver. It's disguisting and completely barbaric. We who crown ourselves upon being such an advanced society, we have to cut people open in order to fix them. How barbaric is that? I mean we pretty much just say "oh, we're gonna knock you out then cut you open and poke around to try and fix whatever is wrong with you." Nice, that's real advanced. And it's so....invasive. You let people poke around your interior organs. On top of that, they use the same tools they use to fix cars to fix you. Yea, real advanced people alright. We use the same drills used for cars to drill burr holes into our heads. We also put metal and plastic plates in our bodies to hold things together, and all these bolts and screws. There's a reason why these objects were never in our body in the first place. And those same knives we use in our kitchens, those same knives with different names, scalpels, we use those to cut people open. And we use tongs to keep skin apart to insert knives and plates. And this is what we call our life saving technology. Don't get me wrong, i love the fact that this allows us to save lives, but are we really so advanced? If we use things like knives and tools to fix and invade the human body in such a barbaric way, then what qualifies us to believe we're so advanced?

Pop Art

Art, i am in love with pop art! it's so awesome and different from everything else, and it also manages to display the the traits of modern culture.

Untitled, and perhaps unfinished

Let's listen to death

As it fades from above

And stalks us on our walk to the moon

While we listen to it's soundtrack

And leave our footsteps on the stars

For all to see

Until death do us part

And reunites us with the sky

Let's listen to life

As it sings it's soft lullaby into our ears

As our everlasting gazes take us beyond the clouds

Forever Wondering

Forever Questioning

While death waits patiently

and eternally

for the grace of our souls

As we listen

to the sweet and tortured lullaby.

Let's listen to life

as it fades from above

and whispers its sweet lullaby

into our forever waiting souls

Let's listen to death

as we wait for the chance

to once again walk amongst the highest of clouds.








Question: Should it be "Let's listen to death" or "life"? Please Comment.
