 * Reread pages 51-52 in Candie, focusing on the 'slave' passage.
 * Identify and EXPLAIN one example of irony in the passage.

On pg 51, Candide says that "We are at the end of our troubles, and the beginning of happiness." Though all they find when they come nearer is more misery such as the cruel masters of the slaves and the unnecessary ritual that the slaves must go through.


 * What is Candide's reaction to the situation and WHY is it significant?

His reaction is that when he sees the slave he is thunderstruck by the cruelty and he gives up on finding any optimism in this world. Which is a bit strange because Candide braved much more horrible things that had happened to him and other people. I think that the reason why he gave up on optimism is because the cruel behavior happened because of race which shouldn't be any consequence at all.


 * 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.

When I read the book __Candide__, it told me of the unheard horrors and situations of the real world and it made me see that horrible things happen without much consequence and it made me believe that the world is definitetly not perfect and optimism does not help you in this world because this is not the best of all worlds. Though this book is not as graphical as a real life situation, it makes you think that bad things happen and many examples arise that can be very real.
