The Assignment

To get a feeling for how the Samanas, Indian ascetics that are found in the novel //Siddhartha//, try to reach enlightenment, we gave up something we enjoy for a week. I chose to give up twitter, because it's technically not something I **need**. Technically

Getting started- When I first got the assignment it took me a while to figure out what I was going to give up but i thought about the things that I do all day. Thus my choice to give up twitter, when I wake up when I go to sleep even during school all the time i'm on twitter. Twitter is so accessible its right on my phone with the app and on my computer and its almost like a compulsion to get on all the things that people say and just the interactive aspect.



Start of the week- The first couple of days were pretty easy to my surprise, I think its because i was occupied for those couple of days so i didnt have time for twitter. Going in to the week I thought i would fold and give in but once it started it was actually pretty easy.

Middle of the week- During the middle of the week i had a big football game to prepare for so twitter was last thing on my mind. At this point my team was undefeated and we were playing another undefeated team so i really didn't think about twitter all that much.

End of the week- This was the toughest time for me because i had nothing to do or i didn't have anything going on for those couple of days. It was that last day that i caved in, i for sure thought i could do it but i proved myself wrong. The reason why it didn't work was because of the drama that was going on during that day i heard fro people that twitter was just blowing up so i just had to check.

Awakening



As Siddartha leaves Govinda and Buddha,"Siddartha looked up around him, a smile crept over his face, asnd a strong feeling of awakening from a long dream spread right through his being" So, for my picture I drew Siddartha seeing the vibrant colors and the warm feeling of him being opened up to the beauty of the world. Siddartha also says "I will learn from myself the secret of Siddartha" now, he finally realizes that he can be his own person and not have to be apart of a certain group which also represents his awakening. Siddartha starts to feel alone and empty,"Now he was only Siddartha, the awakened;otherwise nothing else". In the picture i drew him by himself to show him being alone.
