ML 37 There is irony present in the passage in which the slave says, "...In which case you must admit that no one could treat his relatives more horribly than this." This shrewdly emphasizes that the inhumane practice of slavery during that time was directly contradictory with Christian doctrines, and thus, satirizes the cruel practice. Candide is appalled by the slave's plight and for a moment doubts Pangloss' teachings of Optimism, and a thought materializes in his mind that this may not be the best of all possible worlds. During this year's summer camp, I observed how everybody was unique in their own sense and accord, and thus was given incentive to stop emulating others and following my own volition.
 * Reread pages 51-52 in Candie, focusing on the 'slave' passage.
