“Om,” he pronounced inwardly, and he was conscious of Brahman, of the
indestructibleness of life
; he had remembered all that he had forgotten, all that
was divine.
Even after all this, “Om” is more powerful than the wretchedness of his years
amongst the people (Kamala and Kamaswami’s town).
His desire to “destroy his body” was childish.
Then what does he do?
By the River
He sleeps a restorative sleep and awakens to Govinda!
Siddhartha lectures Govinda saying, “The wheel of appearances
revolves quickly, Govinda. Where is Siddhartha the Brahmin, where
is Siddhartha the Samana, where is Siddhartha the rich man? The
transitory soon changes, Govinda. You know that” (94).
By the River
As Govinda walks away, Siddhartha realizes that he is suddenly able
to _______. He thought he was incapable of it!
He realized also that he has exchanged his original possessions of
power and strength (_____, _____, and _____) for riches and
pleasures, wretched transitory things.
He became an ________ person.
Guided Reading
4. “Is it not true, that slowly and through many deviations I changed from a
_man____
into a
________child_______?
From a
______thinker_
into an
____ordinary person__________?
And
yet this path has been good and the bird in my breast has not died. What a path it has been!”
(96).
5. “I had to experience
___despair_________.
I had to sink to the greatest
_____mental
depths________
, to thoughts of
_____suicide___
, in order to experience
_____grace_____
, to
hear
______Om__
again, to sleep deeply again and to awaken refreshed again” (97).
6. Siddhartha wonders where his immense feeling of happiness comes from. What does he
discover?
“The bird, the clear spring and voice inside him was still alive –that is why he rejoiced,
that is why he laughed, that was why his face was radiant under his gray hair” (98).
By the River
He says to himself, “Things are going backwards with you, he said to
himself and laughed, and as he said it, his glance lighted on the river,
and he saw the river also flowing continuously backwards, singing
merrily. That pleased him immensely; he smiled cheerfully at the
river. Was this not the river in which he once wished to drown
himself –hundreds of years ago- or had he dreamt it?” (96).
By the River
7. “Now I know it not only with my intellect, but with my
___eyes______,
with my
_heart_______,
with my
_stomach_____.”
Turn to page 99. What has died in Siddhartha? (#8)
“his small, fearful and proud Self”
Core 1 Model
Read the essay and write one thing that impresses you.
If this is an A, what grade do you think you earn?
There is something good about each
essay.
I’m sorry if it looks like more criticism.
Please write the sentence you’re the most proud of on a small piece
of paper for me.
Core 1 Constructive Feedback
Your introductions and conclusions need the most work. Many conclusions practically shouted,
“thank goodness! I can go to sleep now!”.
Some thesis statements were obvious; therefore, the paper is not interesting to write. This is
obvious to the reader.
Many of you wrote about really great ideas that did not directly connect to the thesis. Maybe
you can explain how they connect, but you need to explain that in the essay
Between now and January, you’re going to need to learn how to punctuate in-text citations
properly. Should I create a quiz?
Shame on those that cited Wikipedia. You know better! Make this the last time you even
consider citing Wikipedia on an academic project.
I brought you to the library and printed out sources and handed them to you!! They were
excellent and academic sources. Few of you used them!
In the words of a wise English teacher…
“Writing a beautiful, clear, concise sentence is cruelly hard and well
worth the discipline—it’s a moral good.”
FANBOYS!
What are they?
Simple Sentence or Independent Clause
Ingredients:
◦
Subject
◦
Verb
◦
Completes a thought
◦
An independent clause has a thing, an action, and it says something.
Compound Sentence
Ingredients:
◦
Two independent clauses
◦
one coordinating conjunction
FANBOYS
FANBOYS
For
And
Nor
But
Or
Yet
So
Relationship Expressed
For, so = cause and effect relationship
And = joins things or ideas that are alike; implies continuation of a
thought
But, yet = shows a contrasting relationship
Or = indicates a choice between things or ideas
Nor = continues a negative thought
Is this correct?
I went to the store, but I saw my teacher.
I hate algebra, so I love my math teacher.
I hate waking up early, yet I am always on time to class.
Mistake: No comma in a compound
sentence
The right thing to do: use a comma and a coordinating conjunctions
to join two independent clauses.
Conjunctions are connectors that link EQUAL words, phrases, or
clauses. They cue readers in on the relationship between ideas.

Some Examples
Every day was a happy day, and every night was peaceful.
Celia says you’re in shock, but I think you’re just lazy.
You can pick you’re friends, but you’re stuck with family.
Where’s the Mistake?
Hiccup leapt out of the way, but the sharp point of the blade pierced his shirt
and tore a neat slice out of it.
I ate an espresso chocolate peanut butter brownie, and that’s when everything
changed.
Ms. Mullen, I wrote my log, but I didn’t print it out.
Camp can be hot and tiring, but full of ridiculously fun activities.
Where’s the Mistake?
I am trying to break free, but my shoe is stuck to the glue.
I brush my teeth in the morning, and I brush my teeth and floss at night.
My cat growls when I walk through the door, but cuddles during thunder storms.
Many students try to identify simple, compound, and complex sentences by looking at the
complexity of ideas, but that is just a common mistake.
Complex Sentences
Ingredients:
◦
Independent clause
◦
One or more dependent clauses
◦
Subordinator
because, since, after, when, although, and many others
◦
Relative pronoun
that, who, which
Sara and Katelyn made dinner for their mom
after
they finished their
homework.
The doctor
that took care of me last year
is one of the best
.
Your Turn!
Write a compound sentence with a properly placed comma.
Write your name on the slip
Independent Reading Time!
Shhhhh
Building your ability to pay attention is one of your most important
jobs.
