At this point in Sophie's World the book is getting more interesting; however, I am confused. Who is Hilde? Is that Sophie's dad or someone else's dad? I like how religion is coming into the book and how Christianity developed. I never knew that Judaism, Islam, and Christianity are Semitic religions. In Holocaust Literature we learned that a lot of Christians in Europe were Anti-Semitic. It feels like the book is no more about philosophy, but it's getting personal with Sophie Alberto. It's interesting to learn that there was a female philosopher. In those times women were just saw as a child bearers. I like learning about women power for a change. All philosophers we have learned about have been males and it's interesting to learn about how the world should be from a females perspective. Is Alberto going through chronological order for a reason?
In class we have been learning about fate this week. We learned about determinism. We were asked if we believed that god already planned out everything out for us, or do we live by free will and some stuff is fate. I do believe that god planned some things. For example, in the Bible it says that 2 towers will fall and in 2001 the 9/11 attacks took place with the 2 twin powers being destroyed. However, I do not believe God planned everything. Did God plan diseases, and the horrifying things that happen in the world. I know that the world has to have evil to balance out the good, but it seems like there has been more bad than good. Without bad, the world would be a utopia which is not possible. I believe that god puts everyone on earth for a reason, but I believe that he lets free will takes it place. I do not believe that people were meant to die at young or even old ages, I believe that free will took place and they were just cut down before their time.
