And another thing that time period women were either pure or unpure. Because of the army that took advantage of her she was rendered impure and therefore only had one option to survive." Selina added seriously.

Then she laughed, the two had just had a discussion about philosophy. Yet Selina was somewhat glad, she had no one who understood her love for advanced literature, for an eleven year old at least.

"We just argued about Candide. Something is wrong there. We are not even thirteen."

"I see what you mean, and I completely agree, but I just don't understand why she has to be such a..... such a butthead!" That probably wasn't the best word to describe it, but she was a big butthead to Candide. Plus he didn't want to say a cuss word, or something rude. Even though he knew she was a ficticious character, Christopher still did not like the idea of being mean to people. "Yes, she was basically kidnapped, sold, and enslaved as a misstress. She was a huge victim and deemed unpure, but I just thought she made some selfish choices, and I was never really a big fan of her character." He shrugged. Candide all the way!

At Selina's next point, Christopher laughed so hard he nearly cried. "What are you talking about? It's TOTALLY normal for kids our age to discuss philosophy!" Even though he was just joking around, Chris was so glad he found someone other than El to talk about this sort of thing with.
