To what extent is this perspective represented in texts you have studied? 2) Journeys are random and haphazard by nature. Any lessons taken from the journey come from our ability to create a personal relevance regarding experiences. Compare how this perspective of journeys is explored in texts you have studied. 3) Location is irrelevant.
