Your second paper should be approximately 3 pages in length, using as 12 point TNR font, with 1 inch margins. You should quote bits of the text occasionally when answering the question below, citing it in using internal citations: (Capelli, 23). If you are asked to make any connections between the novel and the Asian philosophical systems we are studying, you should also try to cite that original source material.
The paper should be divided into the following sections:
1. Describe the contrast between the worldview of philosopher like Nick and the young Albi he is teaching (270-276; 371-375). Is there a logic to the Albi’s worldview that could be viewed as potentially attractive in our own world?
2. What is the “Vow of Awakening” that Tyler seems to have taken in his previous lives? (319-324 and back to 157-160). What practice does this connect to that we have recently studied?
3. Give a more detailed review of the entire book as a work of literary philosophy now that you have finished it. (Take this in any direction you want, talking about what you liked or didn’t like; what characters you found interesting or not; how well it worked as Eastern fantasy fiction or as metaphysical allegory, etc.).
