Spring Semester Plan 1

My plan for this semester is to read every book assigned to me, and also to do every assignment given. I plan to learn a lot about life and be one more step ahead of others when I go to college because I will already be used to the different and new technological divices. Also I plan to be prepared for the AP test coming up soon.

AP Prep 1: Siddartha

1.What does enlightenment look like inSiddhartha? Is it a feeling? An attitude?

2.What purpose does self-denial serve in Siddhartha? What about self-indulgence?

3. Siddhartha features substantial activity and narrative action. At the same time, it is about one man’s largely internal spiritual quest. What is the relationship between the internal and exterior worlds of Siddhartha? How does Siddhartha negotiate these worlds?

What's In This For Me?

I need to improve in focusing. I need to work on working hard and not slacking off this semester. I hurt myself a lot last semester by not caring. This semester I need to get my act together and get something out of this next and final semester of high school. I need to star getting prepared for college which means no messing around. I should also work on my reading skills. It's imbarasing to say but I'm not the fastest reader and I get sidetracked a lot wich leads me to not wanting to read books. But this semester I am setting a goal to read through every book assigned and trying to actually understand the book. Which in that I will be able to write my essays with confidence!
