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