 * Reread pages 51-52 in Candie, focusing on the 'slave' passage.
 * Identify and EXPLAIN one example of irony in the passage.
 * What is Candide's reaction to the situation and WHY is it significant?
 * Have you ever encountered a situation or idea that significantly changed your outlook on the world?
 * Explain the situation or idea and how your outlook changed.

In the last part of the passage, it says, ' the Dutch fetishes who converted me to their religion tell me every Sunday, that we are all children of Adam, whites and blacks alike. I am no genealogist; but if these preachers are telling the truth, then we are all second cousins. In which case you must admit that no one could treat his relatives much more horribly than this.' I clearly see this as irony, because even the negro slave himself realizes that words and actions are different. He knows that although people say he is also one of them, they don't really mean it, and just make him work more harshly. Candide feels very pitiful, and realizes that Dr. Pangloss's teachings are not true: there is no better world than the world you are living in right now. I think this is significant because it strengthens the point of irony in this passage. I thought China would be a good country because it was big and had the Great Wall, but I was disgusted when I heard of the food in China, like monkey brains, mosquito eyes, scorpion tails, seahorse sticks, and other bizarre recipes.
