This section was the last part of
the book. This was the hardest part of all to connect I could only relate it to
2 things one was Avatar the legend of Aang a show I watched as a kid and with
the series A Song of Ice and
Fire by: George R Martin. In this section Siddhartha's teacher
the ferryman decides to take Siddhartha to the river after his son escapes so
that he can hear all the voices of the river. Siddhartha loses the notion of
time and learns to be happy. Then the ferryman goes and Govinda hears of a wise
man in ferry so he goes to visit. When he gets there he doesn't recognize
Siddhartha. Then he gives a kiss on the forehead to Siddhartha and gets all his
knowledge. Then Govinda gets all the knowledge form Siddhartha.
The reason for which I connected the Legend of Aang to
Siddhartha is because I remember that in one episode Aang didn’t want to kill
the fire lord that he was the antagonist. Then a giant turtle appears and he
meditates on top of it, and after a while the giant turtle touched his forehead
and thought him how to take the fire lord's powers. This is just like when
Siddhartha makes Govinda kiss his forehead just by touching they pass a lot of
knowledge.
The connection with A
Song of Ice and Fire is in the fourth book when Sansa Stark is on the
run because she was falsely accused for killing the king. She was hidden in her
aunt’s castle pretending to be a bastard and not from the royal family. Some
lords needed council with her aunt so they came to visit, those lords knew who
Sansa Stark was but when they saw it in the castle they couldn’t recognize her.
This is just like when Govinda goes to the ferryman, but doesn´t recognize him
as Siddhartha.
The last section of the book was good but very
confusing, I liked it because I could connect to things I like, one was the touch
of knowledge and the other is you won’t find it if you don’t look for it.
