Countless novels of today’s contemporary society focus on struggles between adolescents, and their purpose or meaning of life. Two characters conspicuously exemplify this subject matter. They are Amir from Khaled Hosseini’s The Kite Runner, and the young Siddhartha from Herman Hesse’s literary work. They both depict the average struggle in the coming of age factor. Both of these characters struggle to find oneself on expedition of existence. Although Siddhartha struggles with the advance of finding himself through religion, Amir struggles to fathom who he already is, and what he has become.
