Sam Mercurio Candide Essay Candide is the story of a young man’s journey throughout the world and all of its joys and sorrows. He is significantly influenced by all of the people and places he meets during his travels, but is initially faithful to the philosophy of his tutor Dr. Pangloss. Pangloss’s theory tells us that we live in the “best of all possible worlds” and therefore all this happens, is for the best. Candide’s encounters with characters like the Old Woman and Martin and witnessing of events like the war with the Bulgars and the earthquake at Lisbon lead him to change his thoughts on his mentor’s idea, eventually leading to his statement “but we must cultivate our garden” (Voltaire 130), which indicates that he feels the need for one to change what they believe is not how it should be, rather than lead a life of blind optimism. The foremost target of satire in Candide is the philosophy of Candide’s first tutor, Dr. Pangloss.

| Christopher Columbus | Fact or Myth | | Mikhail Marrett | 10/4/2011 | AML2010 Johnson, Bradley Word Count: 1492 | Christopher Columbus was born into a family of wool workers who lived near the Mediterranean port. He turned to the sea as a young man and was destined to be a great navigator of the sea, but did he really become one? We all heard the stories of how Christopher Columbus was a great navigator and explorer of the sea; he proved the world was not flat and he discovered America, which was later called the “New World”. For all the “success’ he has achieved over the years, the world celebrates them all on October 12 and calls it Columbus Day, however, in reality all his “success” was based upon mistakes, miscalculations, and timely lucky breaks that made him the “successful man” that we know of today. Generally, Christopher Columbus is not really the man that school textbooks portrayed him to be.
Columbus is viewed upon as a hero mainly because of his famous voyage. Columbus believed that if someone sailed west, this person would arrive in India quicker and with fewer obstacles, thus giving a better trade route to the Spanish. After many restless weeks, Columbus and his crew arrived in the Caribbean, which they had thought was India. People believe that from this voyage, Columbus was the one who discovered America, and is also seen as a great man who tried to do nothing but good for his country. He is viewed upon as a hero by Americans for these reasons, and has even received a day dedicated to him.
These comparative experiences of belonging prevail through Raimond Gaita’s memoir Romulus My Father, and Ed Sheeran’s song lyrics The A Team. An individual who fulfills the expectations of the society in which they reside are granted membership to this unity as a result, which therefore enriches their sense of belonging. Gaita explores this notion of acceptance through Romulus and his experiences in gaining the respect of his new community. Being an immigrant, Romulus gains recognition by proving his “worth” through hard work. Gaita uses personification in “his materials…seemed to be in friendship with him” to reinforce the bond that exists between Romulus and his work, therefore highlighting the significance of such connection on the evolvement of his “character”.
