This class was kind of different because the teacher assigned us to read one chapter especifically. We worked in pairs. so he gave us time to read and interpreted the chapter. Then, in the order of the book 's chapters we start telling to the rest of the class what was the topic about and asking a question about it. in my case the chapter nine was assigned. that chapter talked about The Underground Man suddenly implies that everything he has said in the last few chapters has all been a bitter joke. Nonetheless, he continues to wonder if it is in man’s best interest to act for his own profit. He admits that man feels a compulsion to create, but that he feels an equally strong urge to destroy. that why he says humans like to create things and enjoy the journey but at the same time they're afraid to the end because they don't know what happen next. He also states that suffering is the cause of consciousness. the more we suffer the more conscious we get. therefore, my classmate and I asked the following question : just because we consider that we are in the correct path, does it mean that the rest is in the wrong path?
by the end of the class, we just covered the first 11 chapters which means the first part of the book. this coming tuesday my classmates are going to follow with the presentation of each chapter of the second part of the book. if i'm being honest with you at the very beginning i didn't want to read this book i thought it might be boring but now that I've read some chapter I realize how interesting and real is this we just follow rules because society says so. let's check this out and see how this ends.
