Reflection #3

There are many possibilities about what the real missing piece is of this Sophie’s World puzzle, if you will. With all of the information that has been directly and indirectly given to us through the context of the book, I have come to one conclusion. Though, even with my theory there are still some questions in which I cannot explain. I believe that Hilde’s father is in some kind of alternate universe. This is the only way in which he would be able to so all of the so call “magic” that just seems like an incredible coincidence to Sophie.  For example the money, red scarf, the golden cross necklace and also all of the postcard are all evidence of this. We know for a fact that Hilde’s father is behind it all because Alberto has said so many times. Though I am still questioning Albertos’ position in all of this, how does he have the knowledge of a person who can manipulate “reality”? He could be like Norris from the Adjustment Bureau and know the secrets of the universe, but also try to go against them for some reason. At this point I am just very interested to read on and see how the story continues to evolve and eventually shed some light on the real mysteries within the plot.
