 * 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.

Pages 51-52 is when Candide and Cacambo just departed from Eldorado and met a black man with his leg and arm cut off. This passage is ironic because Candide and Cacambo are very excited to end their troubles and begin their happiness with the riches from the City of Gold. However, as they drew near the city, the encounter a black man in a horrible state and thus realize this indeed is not happiness..

The Europeans are preaching that we are all siblings from Adam, but slaves are being mistreated.

Candide reacts by saying I give up on optimism taught by Pangloss. This is very significant because before this point, no matter what difficulties faced Candide, he managed to use Pangloss's idea of Optimism as a ray of hope. However, Candide realizes the world he's living in is indeed not the best of all possible worlds, and it directly relates to the purpose of this satire: going against optimism.

Being in school changed my outlook on the world dramatically. Before attending school, I was satisfied by being able to physically describe something. However, through my intensive course of learning in English classes, World History, and Science, I began to learn why something came to be rather than just what that something is. Basically, what I'm saying is I find more joy in discovering why something happened or exists, rather than what that is.
