Discussion Highlights:
- Why was Govinda kept around for so long if he was just going to leave? - Maybe to show that Siddhartha would have to abandon his past life, including his family and friends, to obtain enlightenment. 
- How is there a Buddha in the story that Siddhartha met? I thought that Siddhartha became Buddha? 
- The book is interesting so far but a little hard to understand, as it is focused on Siddhartha’s philosophy.

Siddhartha isn’t content with performing miracles, he wants to find and do something truly meaningful. - SG

No one is able to reach salvation by just being taught about it, but they must experience it for themselves to be truly enlightened. - MM]]> 2024-01-08 14:32:54 UTC https://padlet.com/25154sg/w51zpjhwqnf71fqt/wish/2841546051 Agenda Topic 3 25154sg https://padlet.com/25154sg/w51zpjhwqnf71fqt/wish/2841546053 “How deaf and stupid have I been!" he thought, walking swiftly along. "When someone reads a text, wants to discover its meaning, he will not scorn the symbols and letters and call them deceptions, coincidence, and worthless hull, but he will read them, he will study and love them, letter by letter.”

Members Present: Matteo, Jean-Louis, David

Discussion Highlights:
- Siddhartha is maturing and realizing what he truly wants 
- Kamala is greatly helping Siddhartha, and making him advance from a poor Samana to a seemingly wealthy merchant
- Siddhartha’s ability to fast greatly aids him in his journeys, allowing him to pursue things not focused on satisfying his hunger
- Siddhartha has a unique ability to speak well with people of all classes, including Kamala and the wealthy merchant
- It was very strange at the part in the city, as we thought the book was about religious values and did not expect for Siddhartha to fall into a life of gambling and sex.

We are pretty meh about this book in general, as it is interesting but slow paced and not a very action packed read.
2. One thing our group did well was that we all read and were well prepared for our discussion, leading to a very good analysis of what we read.

Members Present: Everybody

Discussion Highlights:
- Question asked: Why was Siddhartha’s son included? He did not add much to the story besides stealing the money and running away. 
- He was maybe included to show a parallel with Siddhartha and his father, and to teach him that he must truly let things he loves go in order to find true peace.  
- Siddhartha ends with him finally attaining the spiritual peace that he wanted all along, although he struggled on the way there. 
- It was nice to see Govinda and Siddhartha reunite at the end of the novel, both having taken different paths and both being much smarter than ]]> 2024-01-08 14:32:54 UTC https://padlet.com/25154sg/w51zpjhwqnf71fqt/wish/2841546066 Agenda Topic 1 25154sg https://padlet.com/25154sg/w51zpjhwqnf71fqt/wish/2841546068 One major theme that is developing throughout the book is enlightenment.

Overall, we thought that this book was ok. It was not the best in the world but it was interesting to read about Siddhartha’s life as he progressed on his journey. 
2. At the beginning of the story, we all assumed that this book was about the life of Buddha, as the main characters name was Siddhartha, but now we know that it is a story about a journey of spiritual enlightenment and about how no one can be perfect in life, but you must learn from mistakes and keep moving forward to the goals you want. 
3. All of our members read and finished the book in this meeting, allowing for us to have a good discussion about the ending. ]]> 2024-01-08 14:32:54 UTC https://padlet.com/25154sg/w51zpjhwqnf71fqt/wish/2841546072 NOTES 25154sg https://padlet.com/25154sg/w51zpjhwqnf71fqt/wish/2841546081 Section/Pages: 1 - 15
Members Present: All

Discussion Highlights:
- Siddhartha shows great obedience through his experience of asking his father whether or not he can leave to become a Samana
- Siddhartha is unhappy with the physical world/pleasures
- SIddhartha connects his soul with the animals that he sees throughout his journey
- We predict that Siddhartha will find how to remove the earthly desires and pleasures from his life

I think that this book was very interesting and had a good story, and would recommend it to other people if they are looking for something to read. However, the book can be very slow and tedious at times, and if someone prefers action in novels, they may not enjoy it. ]]> 2024-02-29 15:09:17 UTC https://padlet.com/25154sg/w51zpjhwqnf71fqt/wish/2900753430 Alexander Jean Louis 25154sg https://padlet.com/25154sg/w51zpjhwqnf71fqt/wish/2900753925 Book Rating: 6/10
Reasoning:
I think the book had a good storyline, and had a great overall message to the book. However, it wasn’t scantly as eventful as I would have liked it to be. Nonetheless, I think that there is some really good content and specific quotes in the text that you can really apply to in your every day life. ]]> 2024-02-29 15:09:37 UTC https://padlet.com/25154sg/w51zpjhwqnf71fqt/wish/2900753925 David Mjango 25154sg https://padlet.com/25154sg/w51zpjhwqnf71fqt/wish/2900754030 Rating: 4/10
