Visual Vocabulary:
In this reading section I chose the word "enlightenment," because of the relations it has with the story in general. If you put it in simple words, the literal story is about Siddhartha attempting to become enlightened, and it can open up a whole new world about the story once you've heard of the word.
What enlightenment means in the Buddhist religion is a blessed state in which the individual transcends desire and suffering and attains Nirvana. So, with knowing the meaning of the word and the theme of the story; this single world can truly tell a whole story. Siddhartha tries to become enlightened by himself without any teachers, he ends up being taught from a "river," and finally reaches his final state of enlightenment. The main reason for picking this word wasn't because of how much it connected to the story itself, since there are many other words to do so. It was because it gave such a big idea for a person who would just start reading the book. It allows the person to have a big thought on how it actually might be connected with the book.
Overall, the word that I picked which is "enlightenment" can be regarded as a helpful word in understanding the story. The detailed words cannot be such closely related to the story, as it describes a specific part; however the more general words can be very easy to understand.
