Preface
After reading
many famous English literatures this year, I found out these literary works are
somehow related to each other. Even though the contents of the stories are very
different, but I could still see some similar ideas presented. In this project,
I have chosen four books to synthesize including, Siddhartha by Hermann
Hesse, The Wonderful Wizard of Oz by L. Frank Baum, The Tempest
by William Shakespeare, and Things Fall Apart by Chinua Achebe. These
four books all share ideas in common.
Everything in the anchor paper “A
Whole New Idea” are all facts from the book, proofs may be found in the stories.
After the anchor paper, comes the six entries. These six entries are made in
order to let the readers understand the connections between the four books. The
six entries are written in six kinds of genres: “Siddhartha Solved Okonkwo” (emails),
“The Disappearing Duke” (newspaper), “Fear” (poem), “Turning Points in Life” (journal),
“To My Dearest Aunt Em and Uncle Henry” (postcard), and “Everything Together” (artistic
rendering).
“Siddhartha Solved Okonkwo” is
about Okonkwo’s emails to Siddhartha asking for help. This is closely connected
to the story because we could see that Okonkwo has a characteristic of
resisting for a change, but Siddhartha is very smart and speaks in a way that
shows that he is enlightened. In reality, Okonkwo and Siddhartha have not
emailed each other; they are put together to let the readers see how different
kinds of people solve problem. “The Disappearing Duke” is about Prospero’s news
on a newspaper. It talks about how Prospero disappeared in one night and did
not go to make a speech to the citizens the next morning. The poem “Fear” is
about Okonkwo’s three fears in his three different stages of life. This poem is
related to the fact in the book Things Fall Apart. “Turning Points in
Life” is the journal of Siddhartha written throughout his journey to find
enlightenment. This could be connected to “Siddhartha Solved Okonkwo” because
this tells us how Siddhartha managed to become a person that knows everything,
a person that reached enlightenment. “To
My Dearest Aunt Em and Uncle Henry” is a postcard Dorothy wrote to Aunt Em and
Uncle Henry on her way back home to Kansas. The words on the postcard show that
Dorothy is very brave and has a lot of confidence. This could be connected to
the facts in The Wonderful Wizard of Oz because the reason to why
Dorothy successfully went home is because Dorothy has these characteristics.
Last but not least, “Everything Together” is an artistic rendering that puts
all four books into a picture.
Readers may wonder why the
project is named “To Be Continued”. The reason to it is because I think that
there is no ending to everything. The end could be considered as a new start
for something else. Let us take this project as an example, finish reading Siddhartha
does not mean that it is the end, we could use the story of Siddhartha and
synthesize it with other stories and make them into something new. This project
serves to synthesize four books together and making it into a new whole. Next
time when there is a story that says “The End”, please change it to “To Be
Continued” because it “could be continued” in many other ways.

A Whole New Idea
Siddhartha
by Hermann Hesse, The Wonderful Wizard of Oz by L. Frank Baum,
The Tempest by William Shakespeare, and Things Fall Apart by
Chinua Achebe are four notable stories that have been passed down for countless
generations. These four stories have very different contents, but they all show
similar things characters in stories face in their lifetime. The main purpose
of this essay is to synthesize or to combine the different elements from each
story to form a new whole. Siddhartha is about a man named Siddhartha
finding his way through enlightenment by experiencing the best and the worst in
life. The Wonderful Wizard of Oz is about Dorothy’s journey to find her
way back home in Kansas. Things Fall Apart is about Okonkwo’s
inflexibility to change in life that leads him to failure. The Tempest is
about Prospero taking revenge on his brother by using magic to create a big
storm that sinks the boat. This started because he had been betrayed by his
brother and was being banished to a small island. Prospero wanted everyone on
the ship to learn not to betray others. This synthesis essay will synthesize
how these three famous stories relate to each other. The characters in Siddhartha,
The Wonderful Wizard of Oz, The Tempest, and Things Fall Apart
face harsh journey with many challenges in their life, learn from trial and
error, and meet helpful people.
A characters with a life with full of
challenges and harsh journey makes a story fun and interesting to read.
Characters in Siddhartha, The Wonderful Wizard of Oz, The
Tempest, and Things Fall Apart face harsh journey with many challenges
in their life. In Siddhartha, the main character, Siddhartha, went
through a harsh journey to reach enlightenment. Siddhartha is a Brahmin in the
beginning of his life. However, he feels unsatisfied after ten or more years.
He thinks that he should go out by himself and experience the world to gain
more knowledge. Thus, he joins the Samanas and become an ascetic. With the
Samanas, he learns how to fast, meditate, and suffer (Hesse 47). Later, he
crosses the river and learns how to love a woman, Kamala. In the village where Kamala
lives, Siddhartha becomes the richest person in the village. He starts to get
lost in life (124). However, after many years, he decides to go back to where
the river lies. There, he meets a ferryman called Vesuda. He finally reaches
enlightenment close to where the river lies. These transitions from good to bad
to medium in Siddhartha’s lifetime lead him to his enlightenment. This proves
to us that Siddhartha really does have a harsh and long journey with challenges
in his lifetime. In The Wonderful Wizard of Oz, Dorothy’s long and harsh
journey is finding her bay back home to Kansas. Dorothy’s journey is separated
into two parts: the first part is the journey to find Oz and kill the Wicked
Witch of the West; and the second part is the journey to find Glinda, the Witch
of the South (Baum 42). In the first journey, when she
finally found Oz in the Emerald City, she is assigned to kill the Wicked Witch
of the West by Oz (45). This is a very hard task since the Wicked Witch has a
lot of power. She later overcomes the hardness and pours water on the Wicked
Witch so the witch melts. In the second part of the trip, the journey to find
Glinda, Dorothy and company meet horrible large trees that block them from
going forward, come to a place with bogs and marshes, face a big and old forest
with spider-like monsters, and come upon a steep and rocky hill (132). In the
Tempest, Prospero is the character that experiences a harsh and long
journey in his life (Polio). In the beginning of
the story, Prospero was the Duke of Milan; however, because he was too into his
study, his brother, Antonio, stole his position. Later, Prospero and his
daughter was put on a little boat and were supposed to starve to death.
Luckily, with the help of Gonzalo, he survived and reached an island with no
one on it (Shakespeare 849-55). Prospero experienced betrayal and revenge in
his life. At the end, Prospero finally finished his revenge, restored his
position as the Duke of Milan, and went back to Milan peacefully (928). In Things
Fall Apart, Okonkwo’s life is very harsh and dramatic. Okonkwo once was the
richest man in the village because of his fear of being lazy like his father (Achebe
14). However, his life totally changes after he accidently killed a boy during
the old man’s funeral. Therefore, he has been sent away to his mother’s side
for seven years (136). When he goes back after seven years, everything changes
to Christian, but he still believed in the traditional religion (145).
Therefore, this leads to his death later in the story. Challenges are what
people will face in their life, but different people will encounter unique and
different challenges.
People could improve by experiences;
people could also improve by trial and error. Characters in Siddhartha, The
Wonderful Wizard of Oz, The Tempest, and Things Fall Apart learn
from their experiences through trial and error. From the paragraph above, we
know that Siddhartha is first a Brahmin; he later joins the Samanas to become
ascetics; then, he becomes rich and enjoys the best of life; and lastly, he
goes to the river, symbolizing The Middle Path (Hesse 56).
Siddhartha experiences both the best and the worst in his lifetime; these
experiences help him to find the Middle Path and reach enlightenment (McLennan).
Siddhartha gets closer and closer to enlightenment through trial and error. In The
Wonderful Wizard of Oz, Dorothy experiences many setbacks in finding her
way back home to Kansas. These experiences help her understand that helping
others will lead her to gain the help from the others. She also learns that
confidence, bravery, and willpower will help her fight through challenges and
lead her to success. In The Tempest, Prospero learns from his experience
that even the one closest to him, Antonio, his brother, could have betrayed
him. Later, from all the series of events happening, Prospero learns to
forgive. Another character in The Tempest, Miranda, Prospero’s daughter,
also learns that the world is definitely bigger than what she thinks after
meeting Ferdinand and company. She even describes what she learns as “a whole
new world” at the end of the story (Navarro).
In Things Fall Apart, the main character, Okonkwo, learns that
everything will change as time passes by, the one who does not accept the
change will die. In the story, Okonkwo is the one that is resistant to change.
When the white men come to their village and spread Christianity, everyone
converts to Christianity. However, Okonkwo and some others do not convert, so
they are later killed by the white men because of this. People can learn from
experiences as well as trial and error, and we can see it from all four
stories.
In life, we may gain help from people
and so we must return the help to others. All four stories include at least one
person that helps the main character a lot. In Siddhartha, helpful
people include the Samanas, Govinda, Buddha, Kamala, his son, and most importantly,
Vesuda. The Samanas, Govinda, Buddha, Kamala, and his son are all people who
helped Siddhartha to be one step closer to enlightenment. The ferryman, Vesuda,
helped Siddhartha the most because he taught Siddhartha how to feel the river (Hesse 167).
This later became the main key to reach enlightenment. In The Wizard of Oz,
Dorothy met a lot of helpful people who help her find her way back home. These
people include the Witch of the North, Tin Woodman, the Cowardly Lion,
Scarecrow, the Winged Monkeys, and Glinda.
The Witch of the North is the one who tells her to follow the yellow
brick road to find Oz in order to find the way back home. Tin Woodman, Cowardly
Lion, and Scarecrow help Dorothy by accompanying her and protect her throughout
the journey. The Winged Monkeys help her to cross the steep and rocky hill so
that Dorothy and company can reach the country of Quadlings to find Glinda. And
lastly, Glinda is the one who tells Dorothy about the magic of her shoes, which
finally gets her back to Kansas. Dorothy would not have gotten home without the
help of these people. The one very
important helper in The Tempest is Ariel (Johnston).
Ariel helps Prospero throughout the story. For example, Ariel helps Prospero to
make everyone asleep and safe while Prospero is creating storm on the Alonso’s
ship. Ariel makes everyone thinks that Ferdinand is dead from the storm and
makes Alonso to be regretful about it. This is a great help to Prospero because
he wants Alonso and company to go on to that island thinking that Ferdinand is
dead. Another example that shows us that Ariel is a great helper is when Ariel
pretends to be a harpy (or a monster with women head and wings) and spoke to
the crew. Ariel reminds Alonso, Sebastian, and Antonio about their sins. Ariel
told them that they were brought to the island because of their sins. This
helps Prospero with his plan because he wants everyone to feel sorry for what
they did in the past ("Literature and Arts" ).
In Things Fall Apart, Okonkwo’s mother side is very helpful to him. When
Okonkwo accidently kills a boy in an old man’s funeral, he is forced to move
out of the village (Achebe 112). However, Okonkwo’s
mother side offers him a great help and let him live in their place for seven
years (136). From these examples above, we can see that helpful people is
really important in the story in order to let the characters in the story
proceed what they want to do.
The four classical stories Siddhartha,
The Wonderful Wizard of Oz, The Tempest, and Things Fall Apart,
are written by different authors in different styles and have very different
contents. However, even with those huge differences, there are still many similarities
that we could synthesize from them. All four stories talked about how people face
harsh journey with many challenges in their life, learn from trial and error, and
meet helpful people. These similarities in stories also reflect to people in
the real life. Even though everyone is different, we will all face these
important and harsh events in our life. Therefore, we will need to find ways to
solve it and fix it to live a better life. We can see from this synthesis essay
that no matter where and when the story was written, people and writers concern
about how harsh life is, how trial and error are important, how helpful people occur
to help each other in life.

Dear
Siddhartha,
First
of all, I should introduce myself to you. My name is Okonkwo and I live in the
Lower Nigerian villages called Mbanta and Iguedo. I have heard that you have
reached enlightenment these days so I assume that you would know everything and
would help me with anything I requested.
Now,
I am in a real danger of being killed by those white men that came to my
village. I will now tell you what happened in my village.
Let
me start the story from when I was young. I was considered to be the most successful
individual in my village because I had many land, wives, and children at young
age, and was going to be the richest man in my village if there were no
accidents. However, accidents and unfortunates happened to come to me when I
was successful. One day, in a funeral of Ogbuefi
Ezeudu (an elder in my village), my gun accidently fired! Then, I
saw a kid falling down. I didn’t do it on purpose! It wasn’t my fault that the
kid died! However, no luck, I was forced to go out of my village for seven long
years. I was lucky that my mother’s side accepted me.
These
seven long years are really harsh for me. These years are the turning points of
my village and of my life. My village and I were experiencing downfall. The
downfall happened because of those white men that came to influence the
villagers. I really don’t like them and the way they are converting people to
Christian. I think this will cause the traditions in my village to be
destroyed. I, myself will surely not convert into Christian no matter what
happened. I will protect the traditions that had been passed down for hundreds,
or even thousands of generations.
So,
Siddhartha, please help me and give me some advice for what to do! I am in a
real emergency!
Sincerely,
Okonkwo

Dear Okonkwo,
After reading
your email, I think I know where your problems are. But, before telling you
that, I would like to ask you some more additional questions in order to know
more about you and the problem you are facing:
1.
What did the white men do to your villagers?
2.
Why did your villagers decide to convert to Christian and you
do not?
3.
How do the white men treat you and your villagers?
4.
Besides saving your traditions, what are some additional
reasons that make you don’t want to join your villagers?
5.
Have you ever think of the consequences that you will face
when you oppose them?
6.
Have you tried to persuade your villagers?
Please answer
these questions as soon as possible, so I can think of some ways to help you
solve these problems.
Love,
Siddhartha

Dear
Siddhartha,
Here
are the answers to your questions:
1.
The white men didn’t do anything bad to my villagers, yet.
But, I predict that this is not the true side of them. When they first come to
my village, they started to build hospitals, schools, and churches. They also
started to help my villagers to repair their broken roofs. These actions gained
people’s heart and so they started to convert to Christian. In my opinion, they
are just acting to be good guys and trick people to believe them. Their goal is
to gain the land that me and my villagers possess.
2.
My villagers decided to convert to Christian because they are
being tricked and fooled by those white men. I think me and some other elders
are the only ones that are smart enough to know that they are fooling people in
order to gain their territory.
3.
As answered in question 1, the white men treated my village
in a very good way. They built houses, churches, schools, and hospitals in our
territory so that people could go there and be influenced by them.
4.
There are no other reasons that make me don’t want to join
the villagers. My only goal is to save the traditions in my village, or else
the hard work that our ancestors have done are wasted.
5.
Yes, I know the consequence that I will face, which is death.
I know this, but I am not afraid of this.
6.
Yes, I have tried to convince my villagers but they are
poisoned too deeply by those white men. I can’t even convince my own son from
following them.
Please!
Siddhartha! Please be quick and please help me. I think those white men are
going to execute me and others that oppose them in just a few days.
Sincerely,
Okonkwo

Sigh~
Okonkwo,
I am
sorry to say that I couldn’t help you any more.
This
is life, life is like a river; it flows by quickly. The river represents unity and the eternity of
all things in the universe. Therefore, let your body flow like a
river. Without reaching enlightenment and nirvana like me, you cannot escape
the circle of life. Accept the truth, Okonkwo, you still have another life to
live. Just wait for your next life has come and make a change. It is now
impossible to change whatever you and your village is facing right now.
I
have looked through the future and see that you will die in the next few days.
As I look further in time, I found out that you will make a difference in your
next life. Thank you for letting me know that these things are happening to the
world. However, I believe changing is a
really important part in everything; without changing, the world would never
improve; without changing, I would never reach enlightenment. Just accept the
truth and move on to another level!
Best
regards,
Siddhartha

Thank
you Siddhartha, now I understand that no matter what I did, it couldn’t be
helped. I will die and go back to the mother earth. I will wait till my next
life has come. At that time, I will become a brand new person to the world. I
promise that I will become a great man like you in my next life. I really want
to escape the circle of life.
Now,
I am prepared to die.

Journals (Turning Points in Life)

Today is a sunny day but my heart is cloudy. It is my first day writing
journals. I started this journal because I decided to go on a journey. This
journal will mark turning points in my life. For more than fifteen years, my
father and all the elders have been teaching me. I really liked them; however,
I think they have already taught me everything they knew. Now, I feel very
unsatisfied. I really want to know more knowledge! I think I could go out and
explore the world by myself and learn from my own experiences. I do not want to
leave my beloved father and mother, but I still need to because I know that it
is the only way for me to know more. This is why my heart is cloudy.
Yesterday, I’ve talked to my
father about this; he got very angry. He told me that he would kill me if I
ever talk about that to him again. The reason is that I am a Brahmin and he
believed that a Brahmin could not do such things commoners do. I decided not to
follow his instructions. I found my friend, Govinda, to go on a journey with
me. We decided to leave home today evening. When my father came into my room
and saw me packing up, his attitude changed. He told me that after thinking
about this for a night, he believe that letting me going out is the only choice
since my will is really strong. We said goodbye to each other and I promised
that I will teach him everything I learned from the journey.

This is my second journal entry.
Today, I decided to write this because I feel that it is another turning point
in my life. Let me start from the day I left my home. After Govinda and I left
home, we immediately saw the Samanas coming towards us. That moment, I felt I
was the luckiest man in the whole universe. Govinda and I asked to join the
Samanas and they accepted us! We then become ascetics. We learned how to fast,
meditate, and suffer. I later realized that this could not get me anywhere nor
could it let me reach enlightenment. This is because, of all the elders that
practice ascetics, none of them had reached enlightenment. Therefore, I
concluded that I would not gain enlightenment only through fast, meditate, and
suffer. Govinda and I then left the Samanas and continued our way.
After leaving the Samanas, we
were lucky again. We met Buddha the Illustrious One, also known as Gotama. We
met him at a cave with thousands of other followers of Buddha. Everyone was so
excited to see Gotama’s appearance. Let me describe how Gotama looks. He, to
me, looks just like any other man in the world. However, the only difference is
his knowledge glowing on his body. I can see the gold glow throughout his body,
even through his fingertip. He teaches his followers, including Govinda and I,
about the Eight Fold Path, the Four Noble Truth, and other Buddhist teachings.
However, after listening to his teachings, I went to find him individually and
express my feeling about his teachings to him. He agreed what I said but he
warned me to be careful with my cleverness. I decided to leave Buddha, but
Govinda decided to stay. Therefore, I left them and continue my journey alone.
November

This is my third journal entry; I wonder when my last entry will come.
I often ask myself, will I ever reach enlightenment? This question is still a
mystery until today. I could not be sure of the answer to that. Thirty-two
years! Thirty-two years had passed since the last journal. I wonder have I been
wasting my time through these years. I will now recall what I did in the past
thirty-two years.
After I left Buddha, I came to a river and a ferryman sent me across
the river. When I crossed the river, I came to a village. I met the most
beautiful girl in that city, called Kamala. She is now my wife. She is the one
that taught me how to love. Then, after getting married, Kamala told me to
learn to become a merchant. After years of learning with the most successful
merchant, Kamaswami, in the village, I mastered the skills and became both a
successful merchant and a successful gambler myself. With all the knowledge of
wealth and all the knowledge of love, I experienced the best of life. However,
after many years of good life and many years of playing, I finally remembered
my destination --- enlightenment. I couldn’t believe that I have forgotten
about this. Therefore, I decided to leave the village and leave all my wealth
and love in that village.
April 1,
590 B.C.
Cloudy
Three years after departing my Kamala, I’ve found this river, the river
that I came across when I was young. I slept on that river and felt someone
calling my name softly. I opened my eyes and found out that it is my dearest
friend Govinda! Govinda told me that he really liked being a Buddhist and
passing down Buddha’s teachings. After talking for half hours, Govinda said
that he had to go. We kissed goodbye and hope that we’ll meet each other again later
in life. Later, I walked and walked and found a river. I then looked into the
river and found myself saying the word Om. I had forgotten this word since I
become the most successful man in the village.
When I was looking into the river, I saw the ferryman that brought me
across thirty years ago. He introduced himself and told me that his name is
Vasudeva. I told him that wanted to reach enlightenment. Vasudeva told me that
the only way to reach enlightenment is to gain inner peace. He also told me that I could do this by studying
the river, because he had done the same thing before. From that day onwards, I
spent most of my time sitting beside the river to meditate. Am I one step
closer to enlightenment than before?
December
12, 589 B.C.
Sunny
After two years of studying the
river, I finally feel that everything I did before is worth it. I am proud to
announce that I finally reached enlightenment. As I was meditating beside the
river for two years, I learned that the water of the river flows into the ocean
and is returned by rain. This made me understand that all forms of life are
interconnected in a cycle without a beginning or end, and that birth and death
are nothing but about time. From these, I now that life and death, joy and
sorrow, good and evil are all parts of the whole that is needed to understand
the meaning of life. This tells me that everything I did when I was young is
not wasted. I’ve experienced life and death with the ascetics; experienced joy
and sorrow in that village where I became the richest man; and experienced good
and evil on the two sides of the river.
The river is the middle path; it
connects the good and the bad together. One must experience the best part of
life and the worst part of life in order to gain Nirvana like me. This would be
the end for my journal. One last word I wanted to say is “Father! I have
successfully reached enlightenment and I thank you for giving me chance to go
on this journey, I am now satisfied! I love you!”
