Reflection 1

If i was sophie, i would probably call the postal service. I know that they are not responsible for the delivery of the letters, but i would try to get a hold of someone. First i would try to figure out who the messenger was. Send a letter back with the dog, or follow the dog back. or leave a letter in the mailbox in hopes of him or her getting it. Also, i would change what i did with the letters. I would start opening them originally because it was a letter to me but when i first saw the "who are you? or who am i?" i would have been a little freaked out. I would not have thought about it phylosophically, would have taken it as like something calling you and saying "who is this". If i was more open to receiving them, i would have shared it with someone. The difference with most philosophers and Sophie, is that she keeps it a secret and then acts condescending when people don't know what she is talking about. YOU DONT SPEAK TO YOUR MOTHER THAT WAY. if she wanted her mother to see that she was acting more numb to the world, she would have showed her some of the philosophies like the analogy with the rabbit and magician. Anyways, if i was her i would try harder to contact the anonymous mailer, tell some friends, and do my own research if i was that interested so i did not have to wait for the letters.
