Siddhartha Extra Credit
Due to various factors, we haven’t had the chance to read Hesse’s Siddhartha this semester. For up to 100 points extra credit (points vary based on the quality of the work), read the novel, take a quiz, and write an essay. You get 50 points for reading the novel, but to get those points you must pass (70%) a 10-question quiz taken before school on Tuesday, January 4 (be there by 7:40). The other 50 points come from writing the essay and completing the Echoes of the Tao assignment for Siddhartha. The essay and Echoes are due that day as well. You have to do all three things – you can’t just do some of it. The essay prompt is: What elements of Taoism are present in the novel Siddhartha? Use the Themes of Taoism notes we have done a few times in class to help you, as well as the Echoes assignment. You must cite at least three times from both Siddhartha and Tao te Ching in your essay and use one of the lead and conclusion techniques we have studied.
