Recently my class had to read a book "Cadide". Some of us didn't have to read it because we already discussed it in secondary school with mr muszyński and I was one of those people. Unfortunately I didn't read it back then so I had to do it recently. This made me think about our attitude to things that we are somehow forced to do. I mean as far as I remember I couldn't read this book earlier because it was incredibly boring and I didn't like the language it was written by but maybe I also felt like this because it was obligatory. A lot of students don't even start or don't finish their books and I think it is partly connected with the fact that they have to do ut. Even for me-a person who likes reading it is sometimes hard to get through those books and this is certainly caused by my attitude to them. I think this is a huge problem because then we might be less keen on reading outside of school.

They also didn't concentrate on frontality but tried to put people in complex poses from many points of view which helped in expressing emotions. It was the first time when background of a painting was so important and the perspective and atmosphere were included (the way of blurring shapes and colours to make it less intense so that it looks like it's far away.).

Maybe the blame should be put on the choice of books. 'Candide' does indeed sound a bit old. Even in my school days we found the language a little hard to cope with. On the other hand, it's a classic so every educated person ...
