The Novel of Spiritual Education- Night Circus

In the novel Night Circus, We see many different moral and spiritual experiences unfold in the same setting all throughout the novel. While Prospero The Enchanter and Alexander are arch rivals and deal with competing with each other throughout the whole novel they selfishly put their own egos and wants before the feelings of their young students. The circus could be described as enchanted as it "arrives without warning" and follows an odd color scheme of white, black and silver. This book is interesting as it is told on a non-linear third-person perspective. It also incorporates a second-person narration which allows the reader to be guided through the magical events happening in the circus.

The magical view of this book takes the reader through exciting events while learning about the true wants and needs of the focal characters.

My largest concern as of right now is the recovery of our environment from the toll that it has taken in the past fifty years. I hope that we can reduce plastic waste and restore our oceans of its natural beauty. As a native Floridian, this is an extremely important concern to me. I see how conscious the world is becoming of our waste and I envision the lifetime after me to be even more aware of our carbon footprints.
