The Baroque:
"The dog's name is Hermes"(Gaarder 215)
its so interesting to see how in the entire book they make a philosophical connection to everything and everyone no matter what. Since the name Hermes is actually someone important and relevant. This is one of the main reasons why i think this book is so not interesting, it just seems as if we were reading a textbook.

"She was doing better in some subjects since she started on the philosophy course"(Gaarder 217)
well i dont know what this quote is trying to explain to me but it seems as though it were telling me that i should learn or take a course in philosophy to become a better person even in my grades. I hate this book and i hate philosophy so this just made me think that this may be the reason why i have such bad grades in every single class.
