*My first question is number four about why did Ishmael send the student away to find his own awnswers... I think Ishmael sent him away to find answers for two reasons. First if he told him the answers he wouldn't learn anything. This is the same thing that happens in all teaching environments. The second reason is because Ishmeal doesn't have all the answers. My theory is that Ishmael based his talks for the day off of what the student came up with. It was all a matter of the students values, and his sense of personal right and personal wrong. Ishmael would go with the flow. He would steer the student in very vague directions in hopes that the student would come up with his own answers. As for what the student meant when he said he wanted a teacher for life, i think he means there is always more learning to be done. You never learn it all, and you need someone to help you through that process.
*i was going to do question two here, but i don't know what to write lol :) I can't explain it the way it's playing in my head. GGGGRRRRRRR translation of thoughts into words. lol :)
