AP PREP POST #1 SIDDHARTHA

1. What purpose does self-denial serve in Siddhartha? What about self-indulgence?
after he reads the book it makes him snap out of it and make him realize what he was doing and i think it helped him realize it when he was in self denial,
2.What does enlightenment look like in Siddhartha? Is it a feeling? An attitude?
enlightenment to siddhartha looks lik starting over, being born again and i feel its more of an attitude than feeling because he's changing his ways despite that he will be alone in the begining of his journey.
3.If you were the river, would you be enlightenment or would you know enlightenment? In other words, what’s up with the river?
4. How are the Samanas described? From his description, how does the author feel about them? 
5.Why is Siddhartha unhappy? Why is his spirit like a “waiting vessel”?
siddhartha is unhappy because he is alone and fed up with everything and the "waiting vessel" is about to blow.
