AP PREP POST 1: SIDDHARTHA

1. According to E.M. Forster, a "round" character is dynamic and changing, and may even be contradictory.  A "flat" character is familiar and unchanging.  Choose a supporting or secondary character from Siddhartha and write a well-organized and textually supported post in which you show the character to be round or flat.

2.A foil is a character in literature who highlights certain traits of the main character by contrasting them.  For example, a coward helps to show the hero's bravery in a stronger light.  Choose either Govinda or Kamala to write a well-developed and textually supported post in which you show how he or she serves in the novel as a foil for Siddhartha.

Avoid plot summary.

I found these questions here http://laneyaplit.blogspot.com/?m=1

3)Discuss the significance of the title Siddhartha to the theme of the novel.

4)Choose a character other than Siddhartha, and discuss how the character supports the theme of Hesse's novel. (Characters to choose from are Govinda, Vasudeva, Kamala, Kamaswami, the Son, or the River)

5)The parable The Precious Present shares a common idea or theme with Siddhartharelating to the
past, present and future. What is that idea? What events in Siddhartha show this idea?

I found these here 

1) Siddhartha has an epiphany moment and is reborn again. He has been changed into a dynamic character as of that moment and goes on to grow in his different path. 

2) Govinda serves as a foil for Siddhartha because Siddhartha chose a different path, maybe a better path than Govinda. In the passage, Govinda is said to be part of a huge group where as Siddhartha is very alone but through this loneliness, he finds who he is.

3)The title being simple Siddhartha is just as Siddhartha is, just himself. It's simple yet so dynamic because of the book and its themes.

4) I don't remember the characters and therefore I cannot answer the question.

5) I don't remember this either. I need to know more about the themes of the book in order to go more in depth.
