SIDDHARTHA QUESTIONS

1) If you were the river, would you be enlightenment or would you know enlightenment? In other words, what’s up with the river? What is it’s relation to enlightenment?

2) What does enlightenment look like in Siddhartha? Is it a feeling? An attitude?

3) What purpose does self-denial serve in Siddhartha? What about self-indulgence?

4) Why does he fear that he will not find it in prescribed religious teachings?

5) How does his father show both patience and wisdom in dealing with his son? 

These questions show that the AP test requires a lot of knowledge on literary terms. It makes me feel like the AP test is going to be filled with speculative fiction. HMM?!
