Siddhartha Chp.10

Siddhartha finds his son and pushes him away by telling him he needs to do work. His son runs away from his and Siddhartha goes to find him. Young Siddhartha is not very accepting of his father though. "I am fighitng for him, you see, trying to win his heart and hoping to capture it with loveing-kindness and paitnece. To him too the river must speak someday; he too has a calling"(100 Hesse). Young Siddhartha is not happy with his father and is not letting his into his life. They get into another fight and Young Siddhartha steals a boat and money and runs away. "Nonetheless, he countinued to run without stopping, no longer because he wished ued to run without stopping, no longer because he wished to rescue the boy but mearley out of desire, in hope of perhaps seeing him once more. And he ran all the way  to the outskirts of the city"(105). Young Siddhartha does not want to be found. He is sad about the death of his mom and is not listening to anything Siddhartha is telling him. Although Siddhartha understand where his son is coming from he loves his son so much and is having a hard time letting him go.
