Candide's Journey
When Candide is kicked out of the castle he lived in, he wanders around and is starving and out of money, he sat outside the door of an inn ready to give up. Two soldiers went up to Candide asking if he wanted to eat with them and said they would pay for his dinner. Candide agreed and after they sat at the table the soldiers asked if he loved the King of the Bulgarians. Candide responded and said he didn’t like him because he had never seen him. The soldiers were surprised by his answer and said that he was the best king, and said Candide should drink to his health. Candide started drinking with the soldiers to a king he didn’t even know, which shows that he doesn’t have much independence. The soldiers put him in chains and forced him over

    Comparing Bayle's Paulicians And Candide: A Comparative Analysis

    Evil, how did it happen and why is it still here on this earth? There is this belief that the Christian God is good and all-powerful. He has the power to create worlds and beings, yet there is still evil in the world. Both Pierre Bayle and Voltaire address these questions in their works “Paulicians” and Candide (respectively). They both believe the Manichean philosophy as a more rational thought process than the contemporaneous Christian view. This belief is that there is not one, but two gods in the world; a god of good and a god of evil. I myself believe in a world of balance and like the two authors listed above, accept this as more rational thought than a single omnipotent god. My reasoning is that without evil, there is no concept of good,…

    Esther Eggertsen: The Influence On Martha's Story

    The first lady that inspired me was Martha Griffiths. Martha and her husband, Hick, where a political couple and both very involved with politics. One day, Martha got a call to run for state legislature and that is when her career really picked up. Marthas story inspires me for many reasons, one being her husband was never trying to hold her back and he wanted what was truly best for her. Hick treated Martha has an equal and they did everything together. Through Martha's whole career she never forgot about her husband and was completely dedicated to him. “Griffiths estimated that she talked to 40,000 prospective voters in her first unsuccessful race in 1952. It paid off two years later when she won” (Collins 66). This is another reason why…

    Personal Narrative: Kristine's Survivors

    Screams of excruciating pain interrupted my slumber. Springing up from my sleeping bag, I looked in the direction where I heard the continued sounds of agony, broken bones, and ripping flesh. Quickly scanning the gym with my eyes, I saw that five of Kristine’s survivors became runners. In the bleachers, three of runners dugged their teeths into the survivor’s necks, faces, shoulders, who were lying peacefully and unexpected in their sleeping bags. In the middle of the gym’s basketball court, two more runners’ yanked meat and muscles from survivor’s faces, as the survivors attempted to fight back, however their attempts were useless, the runner’s strength over powered theirs. As one runner, in the middle of the gym, swallowed a survivor’s nose,…

    Anne And Elie Conclusion

    In conclusion, I think Anne and Elie deserved better lives. It was so unfair they had to be put through the Holocaust at such a young age. They didn’t get to live a normal life and experience stuff like teenagers now do. As you know Anne unfortunately died while Elie survived. Despite her dying, she was still a very strong girl emotionally. I think what got her through her tough times were writing about it in her journal she kept. With Elie his dad was the main reason he kept fighting, he knew he couldn’t let his father down. They both had certain things to help them stay strong. It’s important with any hardship, you should try to find one thing that will help you overcome it.…

    During the 19th century Frances Ellen Watkins harper was an African American writer, lecturer, and political activist who promoted women rights, temperance, and civil rights. She was one of the best American Literature writers during her time. For her to be African American showed that she wanted to be successful because back then African Americans didn’t know how to read or write. During Harpers Career, Maryland made a law prohibiting any free blacks from entering or returning to the state. If she was caught in her home of Maryland, she would be imprisoned or enslaved.

    Why Is Candide Blind To The World

    Mathew, I enjoyed reading your post this week, you made a good point about Candide being blind to the world, he was aware about it, but never interacting with it, and this is so very true we often times can be so filled with self that we ignore what is really around us. It was not until one day when he is forced to deal with the harsh realities of life, which is that they are bad men in the world who seek to take advantage of you no matter your situation. A part of the story that stands out to me that shows Candide faith is in chapter three when the Anabaptist named James showed him kindness Candide says "Now I am convinced that my Master Pangloss told me truth when he said that everything was for the best in this world” he says this is after…
