Reflection 

      Sophie and I have a few things in common. Sophie and I are both only children. We also both have private places where we like to think. Sophie as a special place in her garden where she goes, I think best when I am surrounded by the warm waters of my shower. Sophie’s world also shares many similarities to stories like star wars because Alberto is guiding Sophie kind of like how Obi Wan Kenobi and Yoda guided Luke and Anakin. While I was reading the chapter Natural philosophers  I was thinking that many of the concepts that the philosophers came up with  was kind of like science in a way. Also some of the early philosopher’s ideas and theories have a strong effect on things in the modern world such as the TV show Avatar the last air bender, and chemistry concepts such as atoms. Also I noticed that some of the theories had strong religious influences in them.  

Connections 

I see philosophy many places in my life. One place that I see it is in my Honors Philosophy class. I also see philosophy in many amine and manga that I used to read in my younger days. I think philosophy has a strong effect on people’s morals which in turn has a strong effect on things such as politics, science, and Religion. I am a pretty religious person, and after studying philosophy for a little bit, and watching The Matrix I am beginning to have questions. But I am still religious. Some people use philosophy to disprove religion, but I use philosophy to reinforce religion. I see philosophy in movies such as Batman Begins and The Dark Knight. Batman or Bruce Wayne lost his parents at a early age and later focuses on fighting crime in Gotham. He uses philosophy is to not kill no matter how bad a person may be.
