Best of the Week: Philosophy
By Andrew B

In this article Andrew discusses his apprehention to reading Sophie's World. He continues to discuss the nature of the book and how he finds it creepy the way the mysterous character acts with Sophie.

I agree with you on this Andrew. Starting Sohpie's World was something I thought would be bad because I had heard stories about its awfulness. But upon reading deeper into the book I began to really enjoy it. Most of my studies of philosophy have been more eastern based and I really enjoyed this progression of philosophy from the very roots of the word. Sophie's character has been a strange one especially her interactions with Alberto and the mystical characters that seem to be appearing in her life. I am not sure if I enjoy the book because I move between highs and lows while reading it. All In all this book has provided me with more questions about reality then I had going in.


Best of this Week: Presentation
By Raina P

Raina's blog entry was very powerful. It used distinct language to help bring the reader to visualize how she felt. She altered the fonts to help drive the details down. Her blog discussed the movie Born into Brothels and it's effect on her.

For one, I really like how you formated this blog post. Instead of just reading it, it took me on a journey. When you discussed the way the movie made you feel I felt myself being pulled back to those moments. The way you worded everything just flowed and connected. I felt the same way when you talk about how the documentary made you feel like you were in India and how it made the kids matter. Even if I hadn't seen the movie I think I would still be able to sense the power out of it by the style of your writing and the ideas you bring up.
