After reading the first six chapters of the book, I realized that I am really lucky to be brought up to be a good christian. Being in a school like PAREF and with having friends who are good influences, (one of them is a future numer by the way!) I considered myself lucky to be surrounded by these people so that I would not fall into this kind of eternal suffering.

Going back to the story, I felt like Virgil was not only taking Dante with him but also Virgil is taking me to see what hell really is. The description of this eternal suffering increased my horror for this kind of place. I mean, based from the scary movies that I have watched before and add the screams and pleads of the suffering, it would be really devastating and the one thing would run in my head while seeing and hearing those things would be to get out of there. AS SOON AS POSSIBLE.

Another thing that I realized while reading this book is that to pray for one another while we are here on earth so that we won't be able to experience what the souls in these circles experienced. With care and love for one another, we need to pray to God so that He will help us in getting each and everyone closer to Him and getting us to move away from sin.

As the line in the Moulin Rouge goes:

"Move away from this village of sin."
