Minni-Lesson (Journal)

ML 37 When I was in grade one, my parents decided to go to Philippines for vacation. The place we were staying was the island of Cebu and we went straight to our resort after we set foot on Philippines. Our resort was clean and beautiful. We had a nice condo, with artificial beach, a luxurious outdoor pool with a bar, and a restaurant right in front of our condo. For four days, we had a routine: eat, stay at the beach, and sleep. Because the place I was staying was so high-quality, I thought, "Wow, Philippines is a rich country." On the fifth day, we drove out to a town and everything there changed my whole outlook on the world. The town was like a different planet. People were sitting on the streets, there were dogs running everywhere and the streets were so dirty. I had never experienced before because I had lived in Korea my whole life. I'd never known poverty still existed. I had always thought all countries in the world were like Korea, or better.
 * Reread pages 51-52 in Candide, focusing on the 'slave' passage.
 * Identify and EXPLAIN one example of irony in the passage.
 * - The black slave said the Dutch tell him every Saturday all blacks and whites are Adam's children. I find this ironic because if they think they're all Adam's children, that means they're all a big family, therefore they're equal. Why would you ever treat your relative like that?
 * What is Candide's reaction to the situation and WHY is it significant?
 * - When Candide hears this, he's shocked. He then says, "I am giving up on your Optimism after all" because it's too negative for the best of all possible worlds. This reaction is significant because no matter what happened, Candide always believed in Pangloss's theory of Optimism and there was always a ray of light for each situation, but not this one. This changed Candide's view on the world completely.
 * 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.
