Reflection 4 Berkely
Just when you think Sophie's world cant get any weirder, something even more crazy happens. It appears that Hildes father has total control in her world because he has the ability to make dogs talk, put messages inside fruit and possibly control the weather. While all this is happening, Alberto seems to be cramming as many philosophers into Sophie's lessons as possible, yet the one that really seems to be the most important is Berkeley Alberto keeps telling her that Berkeley is the key, and when I looked into his philosophy, I found out why. We found that Berkeley's main idea in his philosophy is that we do not know whats going on when we are not there. I'm not in school, so does school exist? Berkeley thought that the only force powerful enough to hold reality together was God, and all of us are just living in our sensory bubbles in Gods reality. Once Sophie realized this a terrible storm came down and she ran home only to be caught in some sort of storm where her mom met here. At this point I have to admit to reading for a few more pages and learning that the story switches to Hilde's perspective where she apparently gets a book about Sophie. From knowing this evidence, and knowing that Hilde's father is all powerful in Sophie universe, I think I can assume that Sophie's World is actually just a book within a book that has been written by Hildes father. This explains his overpowering influence in Sophie's World, and the reason for the odd happy birthday messages, and possibly the book title. I don't know if this is true, but it makes sense to me right now
