The Revelation
As I was on my way home my mind was going crazy having talked with Alberto about Hilde’s father and his extreme power this was making me second guess why I had ever answered or kept learning about philosophy from Alberto from the beginning. Everything was so strange finding exactly the ten crowns right when I needed them and then seeing that they belonged to Hilde was daunting. And even more frightening was the fact that all these people knew so much about me but yet I had no clue about them. Asking Alberto if I was Hilde and seeing his reaction truly made me think about the possibility of me actually being Hilde. But everything was too mysterious for me to know the answer right away. But I was sure enough going to do whatever it would take to find out, why out of everyone in the world I had been chosen for this course and who these people that knew so much about me were. I had learned that the female god was Sophia just like me and all these people like the teacher Alberto were in such a scary way related to my life. But this was obviously just a weird coincidence and I had much better things to do like help my mother out with the party she was throwing for my birthday. So I called my mom and asked her what I could do and she simply replied food, so I guessed that meant I had to go to the groceries and buy stuff I grabbed the groceries list on top of the dining table grabbed some cash and went running outside so I could come back home quickly and see if Alberto would send me another package. Mysteriously there was a bike in my front door I thought to myself if this could be another “gift” from Hilde’s father, so I grabbed on to it and quickly headed for the store. Suddenly on the first left turn a hard object hit me in the face. Then I saw girl just like me she turned around and it was me! But somewhere in the distance they were saying Hilde, Hilde. That’s when suddenly I realized who Hilde was and the reason why all the cards were directed to me always. It was me Hilde was me or I was Hilde, everything made sense to me now I finally understood why these people knew me so well and why all of the sudden I kept finding things that were “lost”. But why had I not known if it had always been me. Suddenly my head started to hurt and to my surprise all this time I had hit myself so hard on the head that I had fainted. But when I looked at my hands I noticed something different it wasn’t my exact color of skin, I went running to the nearest bathroom. I couldn’t believe it I was actually somebody else I must have been crazy. I grabbed the bike and headed to the majors cabin I had to find Alberto no matter where. Once I arrived he was obviously not there; I couldn’t possibly head back home looking like this. And as I was starting to panic another package hit me in the face. It was a card from Alberto he said “Dear Sophie after all this time asking yourself who you were, it was about time that you found out who you truly were, all this time you looked at the mirror and saw a girl, this girl never really existed. But now that you’ve finally understood where you came from it was essential you knew who you truly were, good luck in life Hilde your father Albert or as you may know me Alberto”. So all this time I wasn’t actually searching for a person, I was searching for the real me.

The Renaissance
"Sophie sat down on the edge of the bed. She had absolutely no doubt that it was Hilde she had seen in the mirror" (Gaarder 187)
AAAHHHHHH!!! this really caught my attention i freaked out. I think this book is trying to mess with my mind because its so scary yet so philosophical. I am scared i dont want to keep reading this book becuase im getting even more scared and i cant see the mirror in my room anymore after reading this book and its so weird to think that sophie actually thinks that hilde was the girl that she saw in the mirror i dont know what to keep thinking i just want to cry and keep reading.
"Sophie looked at the clock. She had been asleep for two hours"(Gaarder 188)
I dont know wwhat to think about the actions that are occuring in the life of Sophie. I dont know whether to believe or not that what she has learned about Alberto is true, i dont know if this was only just a dream or if she turning crazy or maybe the actual reason could be that Sophie is doing drugs and she is hallucinating allot of things. I LOOOOOVE THIS BOOK!!

The Middle Ages
"You said the church closed Plato's academy in Athens" (Gaarder 170)
i do believe in god and i go to church but this just made me realize that its so frustrating how the church closed platos academy because of his different ideas i think that people should have the chance to atleast say whats on their mind or atleast be able to perform other things that arent "accepted in society"/
"We must meet in person its beggining to be urgent, you see"(Gaarder 164)
I dont know how i feel about them meeting i actually think that ALberto is a very old man who has nothing better to do with his life, and i think that he wants to rape sophie or something harmfull i have no idea but im freaking out for sophie.

two cultures
"It wont be long now before we meet, my deaar Sophie" (Gaarder 147)
this book is getting to be to good to be true i thought that sophie and alberto where never going to meet and that made me very sad but now that i know that sophie will meet both alberto and Hilde im finally second guessing whether or not i should really finish reading this book. :(
"Indo-europeans have therefore often tried to "predict" how the battle between Good and Evil will turn out"(Gaarder 149)
it hasnt got a huge importance to the beeok; this quote. However i trully feel that its so weird how through time we have come to realize that such things like superstition dont and wont ever exsits, it makes me sort of laugh when i learn something about ancient cultures and most of their beliefs.

The Postcards
"P.s. someday you will meet a girl called Sophie" (Gaarder 143)
its so weird to finally know that both girls know each other and that their was always a purpose in the completion of these cards not only does this make me want to read the book quicker i finally know that someday they will finally meet and make this book complete.

Hellenism
"Even if everybody doesnt feel guilty about showing themselves naked most people will have a bad conscience if they are really mean to someone"(Gaarder 124)
Humans are so weird to me, when at first i saw this quote it really caught my attention since its true not everyone cares whether or not they are seen naked, but its so different when these feelings of regret are about something like hurting feelings. this quote is really true it demonstrates how we as humans react to various scenarios.
"By accepting the teachings and performing certain rituals, a believer could hope for the immortaluty of the soul and eternal life"(Gaarder 127)
I have no idea why this caught my attention, i think its a really philosophical way of thinking. It hard for me to understand but from what i can grasp it trully means that a believer is someone unlike other people he is from another branch of life but yet he is so powerfull in what he can come to belive.

Aristotle
"But the idea horse was simply a concept that we humans had formed after seeing a certain number of horses" (Gaarder, 107)
Its so weird for me to grasp the idea that we humans came up with something so strange as language and then how everything evovled into what we came to believe since we had seen things so many times. Horses are just humans reaction to something that we have grown so accoustmed too. Its really interesting.
"A chicken's egg has the potentiality to become a chicken. This does not mean all chicken's eggs become a chicken" (Gaarder 109)
this example of how everything changes so much since not all chickens become chicken its so weird since us as humans have become the most supreme creatures in the world and have the power to un-naturally select important things as deciding whether or not we should let a chicken be a chicken or create that egg into huevos rancheros. i had no idea how powerfull we trully are.

The majors cabin
"But all of the sudden something scarry happened. Just once in the space of a split second. Sophie saw quite cleary that the girl in the mirror winked with both eyes"(Gaarder 96)
this part of the book has been the most scarriest part of the book and it made me think that she might be crazy or that she is an alien or another person, or the devil might have possesed her i dont know what this could have been but its so weird to think that her shadow or the person might be a ghost i dont know it really scared me allot.
"are we born with innate "ideas""(Gaarder 97)
are we born with innate ideas i think that we are born with innate abilitties like that of being more athletically developed but i dont think that our ideas are already innate i think it is all due to the background in which we are raised in and its so difficult to think that someone was born with those ideas already.

continuation of plato
"That which is eternal and immutable, to plato is therefore not a "basic substance"(Gaarder 84)
so what i think plato was trying to say here is that we dont all come from one basic substance. This is more acceptable to think of since believeing that we come from one substance was really impossible tbecause that one substance had to come frm somewhere.

plato
"Does man have an immortal soul"(Gaarder 81)
well do we really have an immortal soul i think that this is not true how can a person actually be immortal what does it really mean, well this quote just made me realize how weird we human beings are and why we do different things it jsut really strange to me everything

Athens
"And finally you must say whether men and women are equally sensible"(Gaarder 78)
Well this just made me think about whether or not women and men are equally sensible and although i read in psychology that women have more hormones and that men disguise most of their feeling due to society. I still have to agree that women and men are equally sensible.

socrates
"We dont learn anything there. The difference between school teachers and philosophers is that schoolteachers think they know a lot of stuff that they try to force down our throats."(Gaarder 71)
this just really makes sense if found out that philosophy compared to other subjects trully has a meaning and can be figured out unlike the other subjects in which they just tell us that there is no right answer until proven. I just think that philosophy can be understood and i like it allot.
"The word Sophist means a wise and informed person"(Gaarder 64)
well finally i can understand why the book is called Sophies world obviously its about the world of a knowledgeable person that is learning everything about philosophy, finall i understand the hidden message in the title.

FATE
"When sickness occurs, it is a sign that nature has gone off course becuase of physical or mental imbalance." (gaarder 56)
it just really hit me the fact that it is so true since all sickness are a product of imbalance somewhere so just knowing how sicknesses are produced is just soemthing intereseting that caught my atterntion. Since this is so true.

democritus
"White envelopes dont appear just out of thin air" (gaarder 43)
this just makes me think more and more about who the person who sends these letters to sophie trully is i think he is a man but i am scared also becuase i feel that sophie is being constantly harrased and even brain washed by this envelope sender. :S

The Natural philosophers
"all life originated from water" (gaarder 34)
interesting quote caught my attention because as previously mentioned its weird to think that we must have come from something wheter it was a supreme god or from simple water, really made me think.
"The only way we can accept the transformations we can see with our own eyes" (gaarder 42)
i have to agree with this quote because its so hard for me to believe in the different philosophies or different religions if i cant ssee them with my two eyes.

the myths
"Once loki saves the situation by explaining that the bride has not slept for a week because she is so excited about the wedding" (gaarder 27)
i find this quote to be really interesting how people would come up with myths about everything. its so weird to think that even way back in time poeple were in the search for answers about where we came from and who we are and why the world acts a certain way.

the top hat
"sadly its not only the force of gravity we get used the world itself becomes a habit"(gaarder 19)
its so weird to think that the world is so big and full of colors that we become so use to everything even rainbows which are so weird but were used to everything and nothing seems new. We dont realize how many things we are presented too in earth.
"perhaps you think the world is so normal"(gaarder 21)
we are so used to the world that we see nothing new this made me realize how much everything really counts and how we just think that its normal the way a baby grows in a womb or different things that are so marvelous, we all take them for granted.

the garden of eden
"Who are You? "(gaarder 8)
this question really makes me think about who we really are internally let alone being human beings. It made me wonder what type of person i was and why.
"At some point something might have come from nothing."(gaarder 9)
this realy makes me double think what that one thing that everything came froom was. whether it was a person or a substance or even something like sand. I dont know it just makes you think what one thing was so powerfull to create everything else.
