Essay / Summary of a Magician of Land and Sea - 1609
Ged learns many more magic tricks and lessons here. For example, he learns about change and illusions as well as that names and surnames will play an important role in his travels. Ged studies with nine masters, each of them teaching him something unique, for example the naming master who teaches naming and names teaches him the idea of balance and this balance is very important and must be kept at the mind, as illustrated, if it causes rain somewhere, drought can be caused elsewhere. Yet Ged doesn't really pay attention to this advice which once again shows that although he was intelligent, he was sometimes reckless, impatient and overly proud. As a competitor with Jasper Ged, he always tries to prove that he is so much more powerful and that Jasper can't be like him instead of learning from his former master and his experiments, who always try to show off with power in hand will not be the solution. prove that you are the strongest in fact he could have watched Jasper and learned from him, but he always competed which had a very negative effect on Ged and his studies. Therefore, the role of learning and teaching here would be that yes, competition can help you succeed in what you aim for, but becoming dependent on it can lead to your failure at a particular period of your life.
