The Way

     The Way has inspired me to be open to everyone. As I move on to college, I think it will be important to keep an open mind as I meet other people from all over the world. The way that Tom, Yoast, Sarah, and Jack came together throughout the movie really moved me as the movie panned out. The bond that developed over the time they spent together was amazing to me. The concept of the pilgrimage definitely appeals to me. I like the idea of being able to let go of something throughout your journey. Also, I think that if someone decides to go on the Camino de Santiego then there is a special reason why he/she chose to do so. Therefore, I agree with the entire concept of the pilgrimage. Although Tom's main purpose remained the same for his journey, there were slight changes as the movie continued. For example when Tom met Ishmael, he suggested that Tom take the rest of his son's ashes to the coast. Also as Tom began to get to know the stories of Sarah, Yoast, and Jack, his attitude and purpose of the Camino was changed. He began his journey for his son and ended it with a sense of healing, and reason to participate in other pilgrimages.
