These last few chapters have been really good and kept me thinking. If Sophie and Alberto are truly just the creations of Hilde’s father why do they tell her to rebel or mention how they try to escape? The fact that Alberto is still working on a way to escape still makes me believe that he’s real, because why would Hilde’s father write fort him to say that. Also why would Alberto Knag tell Alberto to suggest that Hilde rebel against her father, so maybe Sophie and Alberto really do exist outside of what Alberto Knag tells them to say and do? But then again when I think about this I realize how ridiculous it is to think that characters in books truly exist and have a mind of their own because they don’t. Characters in books are simply what the author makes them out to be. Characters thoughts and dialogues are what the author writes; they have no substance outside of the book. But maybe I am wrong and maybe Alberto and Sophie will find some way to escape the mind of Alberto Knag. I’m really excited to keep reading and see what happens to Sophie, especially because her birthday party is on the same day that Hilde’s father returns home.
