Reflection 4


Reflection
I really don’t see why this author didn’t just make this book about a student in a philosophy class, instead of trying to make an interesting plot going along with facts about philosophers and philosophies. I don’t think they tie in with each other and it’s a weird read. And when Hilde got her book with stories from Sophie’s life- that confused me even more. Is Sophie just a fictional character in the book now?! Is Hilde’s life the real life, and these chapters before it were just so we had a background of her gift? Makes no sense to me. Just not my kind of book. I do think reading the interactions between Sophie and Alberto when it comes to philosophers make that point of the book easier to understand. That ‘point’ as in educating readers on philosophies. I understand the concepts and ideas more this way than I think I’d understand them from reading from a textbook.

  1. That's the question - is Sophie just a version of Hilde created by her father? Or is Sophie Hilde?
