Preface
            Before review these entries and the anchor paper, you have to understand these three books and had read them. The books are the essential of the topic and please always keep in mind that the project is always connected with the book. Also, this project is to challenge you to think outside the box. Many topics might lead you to think there is nothing connected but there is and you just have to think more about it! This project is done by a student named Jane Lin. She put all the hard work in order to make this project; all she wants to do is to give a better understanding of Siddhartha, Oedipus Rex, and the Inferno. The first three entries were to make for each book. Letter to Siddhartha is for Siddhartha, Book cover is for Oedipus Rex and lastly instructional manual for the Inferno. Later the last two are mixed of all three books, which is a very neat and challenging project. Then as we all know the anchor paper is a synthesis paper for all the work. Please enjoy this project and make a good use of it.

Letter to Siddhartha
 May 23, 2012

Mr. Siddhartha
101/177 Moo 7 Soi Mooban Bangpleenives, Prasertsin Road,
Bangplee Yai
Bangkok, 10540, Thailand

Dear Siddhartha,
            This is Jane and I have been writing to you from far away where you are right now. Thailand is where I live and it is totally different from where you are. The culture, people, and life are just the opposite of each other. It took me a long time to write this letter to you because I want to express myself in a short and sweet way. I am trying to become like you and I want your comments! First of all, how can you make yourself think outside the box at all time? Isn’t it difficult to be different than others because you are the only one on this planet earth to act like that? I am always trying to be unique among other people but found myself the clown after all. People always think I am crazy in my actions and sit back to laugh at me. Those people just don’t get the real meaning of all, they are the surface swimmers and never deep down. I wish sometime I would have the courage to overcome the evil force of the people that laughed at me.
            Everyone has its own philosophy of life and the reason why leads them to think differently. Your philosophy has the most special one of all. How did you do that and what did you do to manage it? Finding ones philosophy it’s hard and to find one of my own it like landing on the sun. I tried many ways to do, such as meditating under a big oak tree for a year or stay by the river at all time. However, it didn’t work at all. Maybe it is the problem of my distracted mind that caused the process not working. I wish that someday you could visit me in Thailand and answer all the questions that I have for you. Also teach me any skills that help you become a successful person.

Sincerely,

Jane Lin
268 Moo. Bangplee, Bangpleeyai,
Samutparkarn.

Book Cover
Meaning of the Book Cover:
Left hand side:
Right hand side:
Ÿ   As we know, at the end of the story, Oedipus became the worst person of the country. He got banned and he was blind.
Ÿ   The broken warder and crown were to symbolize the lost of power of Oedipus.
Ÿ   The black path represented the no future in his life and so does the sunset.
Ÿ   As he walks to the end all the trees were no able to grow.
Ÿ   The left hand side represented the dark age of Oedipus.
Ÿ   The person with crown is Oedipus; he has the power that he need.
Ÿ   The yellow path represents the success that he made along the way.
Ÿ   The lady in the middle is his wife and mother. Even though we know it’s the same person.
Ÿ   The upper right hand side is Oedipus’ father, which he killed his own father.
Ÿ   Basically, he right hand side represents the glory time and all the things he did to become the man are he right now.
