Philosaphy in my book


          Okay Ms.Rear so i wrote a letter to skeptics but forgot to relate it to a book, lets see if this post about freedom in real life and my book. It was surprisingly harder then i thought, maybe its my book or maybe it is just the way that i was thinking about it. I hope it meets your expectations!

          In my book each chapter is told from a different point of view. But I only want to focus on one of the two main characters, Anne. In the book Anne is a girl who is focused on two things: School and surfing. Because they live all the way on the west coast pretty much everyone surfs, but their aren't that many girls who can surf as well as Anne can. After Annes mother dies her dad pays even closer attention to her and pushes her harder and makes her work even more then she already does. 

          I never thought that it was possible to help take away your own freedom but i think that is exactly what Anne is doing. She shoves her self in a corner and barely makes time for anything other than her main focuses. Ofcourse the book wouldn't be complete unless you knew that Anne is a stunning girl who can turn heads when she walks in a room. This only makes it more confusing on why she would literally take away part of her freedom by shutting herself out from anything that could potentially get in the way of her goals.

          When you think about this it isn't that strange yet the more you think about it the weirder it is (ok sorry that might have not made much sense ill rephrase it) when you just think about it off hand it does't seem that weird, ok yeah the girl has goals that she wants to accomplish, ok so what? But then when you get into it and go deeper it is actually really strange. This whole week we were talking about WHO controls your freedom but we never really came up with an answer, well i think i just figured it out for at least some cases.

  1. I totally agree with your point of view by saying who will actually try to take away their own freedom? This post really wants to make me read the book and made me understand how to compare philosophy and a book. Good job!
