Sophie's World

It seems little do we discuss our "textbook" and I thought this might make for a good topic for the spur of the moment. I have found Alberto Knox to be a figure that creeps around on the streets driving a sketchy looking van. Haha. I don't know about anyone else but I find him to be a rather frightening character all in all.

And on to the ancient civilizations. As most of you know, I have indeed been to Greece and Italy and I'll shortly be posting some pictures to help aid me in explaining some of my opinions that have appeared throughout Sophie's World.

So what does everyone else think of Sophie's World so far? Or have you even been reading it? ;)

Now, the pictures. The above picture is at Pompeii in Italy. The mountain in the background the infamous Mount Vesuvius. This was once a booming community, destroyed in an instant. But due to the quick settling ash and the compactness of the ash, the city is preserved very well.

And now the mighty Acropolis and Athens, where philosophy really kicked off with some of the most brilliant ancient minds. The Acropolis is under restoration so you'll see the new and the old limestone pieces. The Acropolis is built on the highest point in the city and you can see the entire city and the valley the city rests in.
(( I had to delete all the pictures due to a coding error that I am trying to find... -_- ))
