After reading the 1st few chapter of Sophie’s world I am full of questions. First of all I am confused about who Hilde is and how she fits into this story. After learning that Alberto Knox some how knows Hilde I am even more confused, I now wonder if maybe Alberto and Hilde are somehow related or if Hilde like Sophie is just one of Alberto’s philosophy students. I wonder where Hilde is and how her scarf arrived in Sophie’s room. I’m so confused.
I also wonder why there is so much secrecy in this story when it comes to the “philosopher.” Who actually is Alberto Knox? Why can’t Alberto personally deliver Sophie’s letters anymore? Why is it so risky for him to deliver her letters? Is he in hiding? I still want to know who this philosopher is. Was he once an actual philosophy teacher or it he truly just someone who is climbing the rabbits fur, wondering about the world, and trying to share his knowledge with others? Why had Alberto even decided to write these letter to Sophie in the 1st place, I wonder how he even know her name and where she lives, and how he selected her of all people to begin to write to.
But besides my many questions I really enjoyed the beginning chapters of this book, especially those concerning the natural philosophers. I think it is astonishing that they made so many discoveries about the world, with out all the technology that we have now.
