         Of course I'm Dru Hines, but I know that's not what you're asking me. I guess you could say I don't

completely know who I am or my purpose here; which I think is one of the main ideas in this book. But

based on my religion I believe that I am a creation of God. Which intertwines with the next question. As a

Christian, I believe That God conceived the world. In the bible it explains how he created first the heavens

and the earth, in which I think is synonymous with the universe. Next he made day and night, land and

oceans, time, and animals and man, all within a course of six days.

        So, I guess you could say both the world and I came from the works of God.

                    I didn't fully understand the experiment. I get the part where Alberto says "yes in a way.

 What we see may depend on whether we are raised in India or Greenland, but wherever we are, we

experience the world as a series of processes in time and space." But i don't really get how I could

apply that to my life.

                I wasn't very surprised by Aristotle’s  views on women. Many men of  that time didn't think of 

women as equals. Though he was a very intelligent  man, he was very ignorant on the subject of sexes.  He 

didn't fully understand each gender's role in reproduction,; therefore his opinion on the subject is 

inconclusive. Plato's view on the subject is more accurate in my opinion. He believed society needed 

women to run properly. Which I definitely agree with. The chemical balance between men and women is 

different, and men are naturally more aggressive due to that. So, society needs women to keep a level 

mind.

                  The fact that most of the philosophers in this book were men was disappointing but not 

unexpected. Women during that time didn't have enough respect to have their opinions heard. Even if 

there were women philosophers, there is  probably no record of them. Women weren't thought of as 

intelligent human beings, therefore their ideas were tossed out.  Which is sad, because we could be 

missing out on wonderful ideas and theories that could change history today.
