Candideeee

oh candide! This book brings many thoughts into my head. In the beginning it is just like the garden of eden. they live in a perfect place and then, they are removed and horrible things start happening. i felt so bad for Candide at first. he got thousands of whippings and other things that he just couldnt live through. I realized that this book was a satire very quickly because there is no way that any human being could live through anything they went through. i also got sick of how literally everyone came back to life. at first i would get excited when we found out someone was not dead..but then i just came to expect it every time someone was "killed." I think voltaire was making fun of organized governmnet? and just authority and life in general. Candide would stick to Pangloss' theory even when it got stupid to continue believing it. Obviously, Candide was not in the best of all worlds, yet he refused to come up with his own thoery and believe in his own thoughts on life. I just wish they would have stayed in Elderado to begin with. thats the only place they were happy at.

Even when Candide and Cungededjldfk were re- united, Candide was not happy. Cung lost her beauty and then Candide didnt love her anymore. i guess that proves what their love was base off of. I think in the end, Candide came down a long road and in a way discovered himself. He basically didnt believe in Pangloss' thoery on life anymore that everything is for the best, finally. and he came up with his own theory a little bit, that they must cultivate the garden. Now i am not even sure what that means, and thats just a whole other blog. im so confused at that ending and i was kinda bummed, not gunna lie. but it was a good book, it had me laughing.
