Miguel’s father finally takes Miguel to the mountain. He realizes that Miguel
is growing up and he is responsible; but Miguel isn’t all that excited about
going up because he’s been there and maybe he lost his excitement because for it
he has experienced it once already. “I’ve seen these surroundings, and although
they are beautiful I don’t enjoy them anymore” (Krumgold, 242). Miguel doesn’t
care about going up to the mountains because he’s been there and he thinks that
by going up to the mountain that he sent his brother away. However, in his
father eyes Miguel has become mature and responsible because Miguel has proven
to his father many times that he can take charge of part of the family business.
Miguel goes up to the mountains, he helps number the sheeps; which is like tasks
that what almost every shepards do. This novel showed that by showing or taking
responsibility in life one is mature and seen as an adult from others. Miguel
was one of the people who showed responsibility in life and in the end he gets
what he wants, which was being part of the family business. However, when we
actually think about it when we want something we always try so hard. But when
we get it we don’t always want it anymore, because we got the taste of how it is
like; and we might not like it or careless about it. That’s why people want
something and when they get it they forget about it, or when they have something
and they won’t notice that it is there until something is gone. These are some
parts of the process of life. We win some and we lose some. So value what you
have and always take responsibility in life. When one can takes up
responsibility, that person is old enough to handle whatever life throws at
him/her.
