Reading Blog Section One

  Here are some of the questions I asked myself while reading:


          • How did the relationship between Govinda and Siddhartha emerge? Are they more than friends? How will they overcome the obstacles within the story together? Will they continue together?

          • Why does Siddhartha decide to go beyond his usual practices and search for the enlightenment in such a radical way? Is there a specific reason for this?

  • Why is Govinda so attached to Siddhartha? Is he in love with him beyond a platonic relationship?
  • Why was Gautama Buddha not enough for Siddhartha's thirst for knowledge?
  • Why wasn't he satisfied with the Samanas?
  • Does Siddhartha have special powers, and if so, how did he use them with the Samanas?
  • Are Siddhartha's feelings towards Govina reciprocal? If not, how will Govinda react to this?
  • Where does Siddhartha's quest for knowledge come from?  Why is he so persistent on being enlightened?
