Even though Pangloss stuck to his views that everything is for the best in this best of all possible worlds‚ which is admirable‚ he is stupid and naive to still believe this after everything he and his family goes through. It was quite hard for me to find admirable characters within Voltaire’s Candide‚ all of the characters seemed to do harm to one another in some way. Although as soon

As one might imagine‚ the adult world in “Graceling” is illogical‚ capricious‚ harsh — the youths band together into a clandestine assembly‚ which Katsa summons to guard the innocent and right the iniquities of egotistical kings.

More evidence is found throughout the story (said by many)‚ but
