Siddhartha
Since I will be out over the next three days, and many of you will be with me, I am assigning Chapters Seven and Eight for Monday.
Today’s Question (please answer in one paragraph via the comment feature):
The opening sentence of Chapter Seven is, “For a long time, Siddhartha had lived the life of the world and of lust, though without being part of it.”
Explain what this sentence means by using information from the previous chapters. Today’s class should be spent composing an answer to this assignment.
Those who are here tomorrow and Friday will be watching the Conrad Rooks’ movie version of the book.
