Where Are We Going? Ishmael chapter 13

Where are we going, one of the three questions that were asked to us at the beginning of this course. This last chapter, thirteen, was extremely short and expected. The session was over. The pupil was ready to take on the world and teach it what Ishmael had taught him. He would tell them “where they are going” what their purpose was, all that Ishmael had shown the pupil. But the pupil didn’t want to leave Ishmael in the horrible place that he was in so he decided to go back to get him. He extracted all his money from his account a total of 2400 dollars and started on his way to the circus where Ishmael was staying for the time being. He had some problems with his car and the mechanics needed about 600 dollars to fix it. So the pupil instead got a rental car, one big enough to carry Ishmael out of that dreadful place he was in. But when he arrived he found that the circus had moved on, everything was gone so he decided to go to the place Ishmael’s cage had been. He followed his feet to the place and found all of Ishmael’s belongings. Books, maps, the blankets he had used, everything was there and the pupil and I wondering what on Earth was going on when the employee in charge there answered the question. “It was pneumonia that got him-your friend the ape.” The pupil was devastated and left the place with all Ishmael’s belongings under one arm. He contacted Mr. Partridge, informing him what had occurred. When the pupil went to get the Ishmael’s poster framed he discovered that on one side it said “WITH MAN GONE, WILL THERE BE HOPE FOR GORILLA?” And on the other side it said “WITH GORILLA, GONE WILL THERE BE HOPE FOR MAN?” Ishmael’s journey had ended, the pupil’s had begun.
