Lit. Analysis #2

To kill a Mockingbird

1.) This book was about two kids getting used to a town full of racism and imagination. These two kids were living in the Great Depression and the way they lived was a bit harsh, still their father was a very confident man/lawyer. Her father taught her lessons about how she shouldn't talk about anybody if she hasn't been in their shoes. In the book she learns about life, and how to treat others.

2.) Racial prejudice was part of the theme of To Kill a Mockingbird and also superstition can lead to injustice.Like when Aticus had to become a lawyer for this African citizen who was framed of raping and hurting a white girl.

3.) It's really serious and curious, like when Aticus was with the family of the framed man, they welcomed him with open arms and everyone was being human, until the white man who framed him came up to Aticus and called him a "Nigger lover" that was a serious thing that the author's tone was saying that racism can be really serious. And as for curious the two kids were very curious characters of the story when it came to the "Boo Ralley" conspiracy.

Literature Analysis #1

1)  Sophie's World is a book about a 14 year old girl named Sophie Amundsen, suddenly she got a letter that started the whole story, the letter had written it it , "Who are you?". This bothered her the next day that came. As she learns that she is taking a philosophy course through the letters, she finds out something really unexpected. She is much more important that she would've ever guessed. I think the authors purpose for the book was to be curious at all times because life is full of surprises that can come unexpected, and also give us a insight of a philosophy course in college.

2) The theme is basically your first class of philosophy.

3)It was really uplifting when I was reading the letter that hit a crucial statement about how life is so wonderful and how it is just amazing is is to just figure things out.

Practice Essay. So far.

   "As I walk out of the cave with no memory of seeing the outside world. I wonder why I am not wondering about everything, I am not thinking about anything right now.. I am only walking, walking towards the light. Waiting for nothing to happen, as the light brightens, my eyes start burning! My palm over my head, I start seeing the shadow of my own hand,s strange lighting was everywhere." Now I see a whole new world..Now this is a situation that this character has never dealt with, he spent his life inside a cave, shackled and all he saw was shadows of people and animals, all they knew were the echoes of the men and woman. And if he were to be released, what would he do outside in the world. Keep in mind that he spent his whole childhood in a cave with nothing but shadows and echoes. We are now looking at the possibility of him being able to catch up with the world and how cultures work, what is society, what actually is real in this world or not, and ect. Or will his morality be affected, will his mind become as primitive as our early ancestors? I picture the man actually being afraid of the light and seeing the light as an evil thing, he would look at the trees and people as fake and would see the shadow of everything as a safe being. He would probably think that his home is in the cave where the sun didn't hurt him, where the environment didn't exactly lie to him.  
   Now why would I say this? Its because of the Philosophy of Plato about perspective everyone creates their own world through their way of experiencing life, nobody is right nor wrong. You believe in whatever you would like to believe in and it is true for no matter what anybody else says. Like the character in Plato's "Allegory". These men didn't know the outside world , they learned inside that cave and nothing else was really there to teach them, their schedule was all the same, sleep, wake, stare at the wall for the daily shadows and echoes.They might have ever thought about something like "I wonder if there is something outside that wall", but maybe there would be traits of our society and say, "Impossible! All you see here is a hard concrete wall there is nothing behind it!"  Now
