As I continue to read Sophies World, I still don’t think
it’s normal that this philosopher is basically stalking Sophie to teach her
life lessons. I understand the book wasn’t written in a way for it to be creepy,
but it’s still weird. I don’t understand certain things Alberto does, like
calling Sophie “Hilde.” And why does he have so much junk in his house?! It’s
all odd to me. What I also don’t get is why Sophie? She’s so young and to
ponder all the questions he’s giving her is making her act so weird. For one,
she annoys her mom and friends, and is also starting to see things, like the
girl winking at her in the mirror.
Reading about her life isn’t as interesting as reading the lessons she’s
taught, and I guess that’s the point of the book- to educate, and not tell a
story of a little girl and her friends/family. I did like the Renaissance
chapter, because I liked reading about all the scientists and their
discoveries. They related to my other classes.
