Book Blog

This page is dedicated to the books that we will read and study in class.  This blog is meant to give students an open forum to discuss their feelings and ideas about specific pieces of literature.  Participation will sometimes be required for a grade, but students are encouraged to contribute and participate as often as they like.

The Book vs. the movie

Sophie's World by Jostein Gaarder

Sophie's World is a fun novel, but it is also a complex one that wrestles thematically with some of the most challenging questions and ideas ever posed by humanity.  Use this blog to ask questions and discuss with your peers ideas that you have about the text.  Doing so will help you better understand the complex philosophies that we will be exploring and applying to classical literature this coming school year.

Consider the following symbols that appear in the novel:

1. The conch
2. The glasses
3. The spears
4. The parachutist

Choose one. Discuss its use as a symbol of power and include at least one quote from the text to support your analysis. Be specific when discussing power -- what kind of power does it symbolize and is this power beneficial or detrimental to the group's survival?
