My experience with this novel can be explained as a roller coaster ride, it had its ups and downs but overall it is a very educational and enlightening book. This novel made me question several things like religion,science and history; for example, the chapters "Darwin and Freud" basically followed the ideas I learned in Ap Biology but went into more detail, this made me happy because I could finally make a real life connection to the book and understand it more. On the opposite side some parts that made me really think and question included the chapters "The "Garden Of Eden", "Two Cultures" and several others because they included the idea of religion. The idea of religion for myself is a hard topic to understand for a non-religious person, …show more content…

The book overall addresses philosophy and philosophical ideas through a realistic story of two lives turning to one towards the end. My overall idea of what is happening in the book changed several times until I finally reached a conclusion towards the end of the book and figured out This book is a window to Hilde's life with the overall common idea of creation. This can be shown through many uses of symbolism like in the chapter "Romanism" when Albert Read the message from the lamp and Sophie and Alberto both could understand it. The other idea about the book is that I think Albert is actually Alberto, this is shown by at the end of the story the roles were reversed and Albert was giving Hilde a philosophy lesson. The questions in the book also revert back to one common idea and hope to explain the book as a whole and tie into the plot of every single chapter. Most of the chapters were easy to comprehend because of my previous knowledge others were difficult because I took them at face value and did not broaden my horizons and look at the overall picture, instead I looked at one idea instead of several and how do they connect and why?. This book is filled with great information that can enlighten you only if you can stop being closed minded and look at everything as a whole and find the common idea that

He really takes the time to explain all of his thoughts thoroughly. He makes sure to give plenty of examples throughout the book. He even quotes politicians and he explains whether what they said is right or wrong. By doing this he tackles a number of myths and explains why they are not true. I found it intriguing how he compiles and deciphers his data.

There was so much content and information that I had never even heard of until reading this book. It makes me think just how much other history has been stolen and not told rightly. All this time, I just assumed the rightful story was the one portrayed in the Disney movie. That sounds funny to type out, and quite ignorant. Finding out that she never married John Smith was eye opening for me.

Without the endless valuable information and crucial details, many facts concerning the world’s history would be lost. However, I found the book to be slightly poorly written and unnecessarily confusing at points. An excessive amount of the book was very difficult to read, and even more so, hard to comprehend. As a whole, this book was very helpful in terms of the information that was provided, and the personal touches definitely made it more interesting, despite the fact that as a whole it was very dull. In general, I would recommend this book due to the fact that it was very educational and persuasive.

I thought in some parts it was quite disturbing. I also thought in the book was dark and mysterious. I like adventure and inspiring books better. I like the part when Guy Mantag explained his job and the tools he used to burn buildings and books. I didn't really understand that there was a job to set things on fire, instead of stopping them.

Through parts of the book, I am able to feel like I am walking in the characters’ footsteps. For example, when Danny is describing how he is brought up in silence (Ch.8), I feel like I am able to jump in the story and experience how that would feel. I do not think I would be able to tolerate being brought up in silence. I also believe the reader is able to realize all the struggles Reuven and Danny must encounter during their friendship. The characters also underwent a great change.

It gave me more insight into the lives that the children had while they were in St. Joseph. One of the things that shocked me most, was the fact of how brutally the children were ripped from their homes and thrown into a world that was alien and unfamiliar to them. I knew that these things had happened, but reading it in such a context opened my eyes to what it was like for these children. I enjoyed how each individual character had a chance to tell their own story and I found it very

It is noteworthy that this story of Adam and Eve in the Garden of Eden is the foundation of the religion with the largest number of followers worldwide. Why does it continue to resonate with so many people even today? The reason is that this utopia contains archetypes that reflect the collective unconscious that is found across all cultures. This is the result of universal themes in this story about humanity’s needs and desires that we still see occurring in our society today. The story of Genesis contains three archetypal characteristics that illustrate these patterns that still demonstrate humanity’s needs.

To be honest, in the beginning of reading this book, I faced challenges to understand concepts that the author mentioned throughout her words. However, I am not the same person who started to read this book with many difficulties. I realized that Wheatley likes to make her readers to think deeply about one idea and then the perspective will be available based on long process of analyzing. Meaningful concepts worth the time spent on them and stay longer in minds than the fragile

  Opinion   I liked the text sometimes and sometimes not. I liked the text because it was sometimes action. In the book the text was sent so hard to read, so I understood the text better. I liked the action when they escaped the zombie slaves. The things I didn’t like was for example: Seth said that they must gather resources to fight the slaves.
