Jonathon’s influence on young people may be at an end.Īs I look back the novel continues to influence my approach to life. In my years as a librarian I rarely come across, Jonathon Livingston Seagull, and perhaps the story is dated. Written by Richard Bach, the story set a standard for me, one that I now recognize parallels other, older human stories. The essay was about the novel Jonathon Livingston Seagull and Jonathon’s life. The interpretation presents a familiar black and white world that humans leave as they gain experience and begin to recognize the shades between. As I read back through the essay I recognize a naïve, perhaps innocent, regard for the future. The essay was written in application for a two week intense experience at a university. The other day while cleaning out an old desk, I found an essay I had written as a senior in High School, over thirty years ago.
