Choose ONE of the topics below and write a 3-4 page paper (800-1000 words).
Instructions:
Write a paper of 3-4 pages (typed, double-spaced) that answers the questions on that topic. The text should be in 12-point, Times New Roman font with 1-inch margins all around. Include your name and section day(s) and time at the top of the first page. Include your last name and page number on EACH page. You do not need a cover page. You DO need a title, however, that communicates your topic and argument.
Make sure that your paper clearly demonstrates that you have read the required texts and understood lectures and class discussions. Cite references to any of the texts. Please do not use any sources other than those required. (Using any other sources will be considered academic dishonesty. That includes Googling the topics!) Your paper should be a detailed critical analysis, not a “report” or straight narrative that offers primarily a summary of the text(s), or mostly background information on the culture described, or a discussion of the author(s). Such a “report” will not be acceptable for a passing grade.
Do NOT use quotations (or use as few and as brief quotations as possible)! Use YOUR OWN WORDS!!! Paraphrase and cite ideas with a parenthetical citation and page number. (Hesse, p. 99)
Topics: Choose ONE of the following! Make sure your Thesis Statement clearly indicates which topic you are writing on!
What concepts of Buddhism and the process of enlightenment does Herman Hesse show in the novel Siddhartha? Mention at least three major Buddhist concepts and explain how the novel demonstrates them with specific examples.
Who influenced Siddhartha toward enlightenment and how? In what way(s) did they influence him? Make sure you explain how the influence is related to enlightenment and Buddhism! Your answer should include a discussion of at least three other characters described in the novel Siddhartha by Herman Hesse.
