 * Reread pages 51-52 in Candie, focusing on the 'slave' passage.
 * Identify and EXPLAIN one example of irony in the passage.
 * - The events that have occurred to the slave himself are not at all considered happiness or fortune, while his mom always told to always be thankful and serve his masters with all his heart.
 * What is Candide's reaction to the situation and WHY is it significant?
 * - Candide decides to change his thought about the Optimism that Pangloss ( the priests) talked and taught about. I think it is significant because the whole objective of this book is to show that the world is not always good as the people believed during that time period, and this passage shows it.
 * Have you ever encountered a situation or idea that significantly changed your outlook on the world?
 * - Last year, in America, I was talking with my host of the homestay people, who is also my friend, and was able to look at the world in a completely different point of view. For her, she was in a rather poor situation, and when I talked with her, that influenced her behavior and thoughts significantly. While I was rather more like Candide, she was more like Martin and the slave on the street, which eventually caused many internal conflicts between each other. However, due to those conflicts, my thoughts gradually changed according to hers, to look at the world in a more mature and professional ways, which I think is important for my future life.
