So is my curriculum made by Nihilists...?

<p>Last semester in honors 12th grade English, we read the following:
-Metamorphosis by Kafka
-The Stranger by Camus</p>

<p>Interspersed between them we read:
-Siddartha by Hesse
-The Secret Sharer by Conrad</p>

<p>The first list is composed of existential works. Our curriculum was made to incorporate the second list of works to re-enforce the theme of self-awareness in the first list.</p>

<p>Not that they were bad books, but I found it a bit weird hearing existentialism philosophy from a Jewish teacher.</p>

<p>Nihilism ≠ Existentialism.</p>

<p>≠≠≠≠≠≠≠≠≠</p>
