Have you ever found yourself eating bittersweet chocolate? Well, I did, right in my college class. Our teacher handed the students a bag of chocolate so we could taste the sweet and sour flavor. Even though I hated the taste of it, but when it was all over and it melted away, I felt the strangest desire for more. Obviously, bittersweet is a word that stands as it is and means exactly as it is, it can be used to identify a person's experiences. For example, in the memoir A Long Way Home, Saroo's journey is full of bittersweet moments, from the first day he was lost to the day he was reunited with his family. In this essay I will show some examples of bittersweet moments starting from the fact that after his discovery, he planned a trip to India to reunite with his family. He booked a plane to India and imagined himself in the presence of all his family members, but once he found his birth mother he discovered that his older brother Guddu died in a train accident while Saroo was lost somewhere in India. So, with Saroo missing and Guddu ill, her mother was able to pay for Shekila and Kallu's education. It was a bittersweet moment for Saroo when he realized that with both children gone, his other siblings had a chance to get an education and become someone. As he thinks about what might have happened if he had never left home that night, he realizes that they would still be living in poverty and no one would have come close to getting an education. This is the strongest example of bittersweet in the book because of the possibilities that could have been if only he hadn't left that night with his brother Guddu. All in all, we realize that we need to live in the moment and hope for the best in the future. Life is full of bittersweet moments and can be as simple as from birth to death, and what I mean by that is that when people die we remember all the good the person did during their lifetime. Even if his death is a bitter moment, then we think of all the good he did for the world, which would be considered sweet, in
