Journey to the West

Journey to the West

Reading Journey to the West was much more different than what I typically read. Usually, with my limited knowledge of Chinese literature, I know they teach us life lessons with symbolic figures. The stone monkey is an interesting character. I do not fully understand the story or the point of it yet, but what I know is that the stone monkey is very wise.
Although he found this heavenly place for him and his companions to live with, there was something troubling him. The chapter ends with him trying to search for the truth. He was determined to find it so he can clear his mind. I am very curious to find out what he encounters what the truths end up being.
