Reflection:
I have liked the last few chapters of Sophie’s World. I especially like how Alberto Knag has been adding fantasy characters from Disney movies into the story to show Sophie and Alberto Knox that he is truly in charge of the story and ultimately their fate. I think that’s its cute how the different characters fit into the story. For instance when Alice in wonderland shows up the situation with the two bottles follows soon after. His use of allusions to Disney characters is very clever and makes the book more interesting. I also liked the philosophers I learned about in the last few chapters, they were very interesting. Learning about Kant’s ideas about lying was interesting. His views often seemed to contradict each other; Kant thought that lying was disrespectful to the person who was being told the lie. But at the same time he thought it was ok to deceive a person, which accomplishes the same purpose as lying. I also liked Kierkegaard’s thoughts on truth. I like the idea that the important truths are your own personal truths, and that truth is subjective.
