Siddhartha challenges his parents to prove a point that he is ready to make his own decisions in life and that they need to respect that. "And he came silently again, hour after hour, looked into the room, and saw him standing unmoving. His heart filled with anger, with anxiety, with fear, with sorrow". Siddhartha sits unmvoing for days on end to prove his point that he is ready to leave his life at home and go on his own journey and his father soon learns that he needs to respect that and he finally lets him go on his journey.
I myself have challenged my parents many times like Siddhartha but in some situations you should respect your parents decison no matter what the decison is. An example of this is when i was 15 and i wanted to go skating at walnut rink so i called my mom and she said i couldnt go till she came home at 8 but i went anyways and i was stuck there till 9 o'clock and i had to wait there till she picked me up. This proves my point that you should respect your parents because she told me to wait but i disobeyed that and went anyways i had to pay the cosequnce of sitting there till she got me.
These paragraphs would earn a C+ in a 5-paragraph essay because they contradict each other. Your first paragraph advocates for letting young people g on their own journeys while your second shows that young people should obey their parents. Moreover, you don't extend paragraph #1 to a universal theme; you only discuss what happens in Siddhartha.
