1) A bildungsroman, or coming-of-age novel, recounts the psychological or moral development of its protagonist from youth to maturity, when this character recognizes his or her place in the world. Select a single pivotal moment in the psychological or moral development of the protagonist of a bildungsroman. Then write a well-organized essay that analyzes how that single moment shapes the meaning of the work as a whole. (http://media.collegeboard.com/digitalServices/pdf/ap/apcentral/ap13_frq_eng_lit.pdf)
2) A symbol is an object, action, or event that represents something or that creates a range of associations beyond itself. In literary works a symbol can express an idea, clarify meaning, or enlarge literal meaning. Select a novel or play and, focusing on one symbol, write an essay analyzing how that symbol functions in the work and what it reveals about the characters or themes of the work as a whole. Do not merely summarize the plot: Siddhartha - river. (http://jneff.wikispaces.com/file/view/Open+Question+Practice+Activity.doc)
3) What did Siddhartha learn from the Buddha? Use one quote from the text to support your response. (http://ecals.weebly.com/ap-english-literature.html)
4) Siddhartha's last exchange with his friend Govinda could best be described as:
a) humorous b) hyperbolic c) self-indulgent d) sarcastic e) indifferent

5) In order to experience the entirety of birth, life, death, and decay, one technique that Siddhartha uses is:
a) starvation b) astral projection c) meditation d) studying e) concentration
(http://www.learnerator.com/ap-english-literature/q/1041/siddhartha-and-govinda)
All of these questions, first of all, provide me with enough proof the importance of Siddhartha and its literary techniques used along with its unique theme and tone. Even though I have personal experience with being a Brahmin, I'm also expected to better understand the passage through its depth. Also, the multiple choice questions are extremely specific and detailed. So along with paying attention with my reading, another technique that can be used for MCQs is to try and find for the answer through skimming and not waste my time reading. My goal is to be able to better at understanding the techniques used in a literary work.
