What is the last thing you read that you enjoyed and why?
Recently, over the summer vacation for my AP English Language class I was required to read Sophie's World by Jostein Gaarder and really liked the book. The book itself includes two genres combined; non-fiction and fantasy. It includes a story with plot as a fantasy and explanation of many philosophy's as the non fiction portion. I thought the author was ingenious to lure her readers by including a fantasy story then the actual ideals of each belief.At a certain point, it would be boring and overwhelming to read all those philosophies and so the story enhances the novel. If I were to compare this novel to reading a non-fiction based book about all the philosophies I would've delayed longer and have more trouble staying focused. Some parts I had to reread to comprehend and compare to my own life scenarios.The philosophies were eyeopening and helped me to recognize things in my world. The book was a unique way of learning about a difficult subject. I recommend anyone who needs a brief review, or refresher upon philosophy should read Sophie's World because they'll be entertained by the story itself and at the same time grasp all the information needed.
