The Serpents Shadow-Relating to Philosphy

     The Serpents Shadow is basically trying to defeat and evil Snake God named Apophis. This can connect to the Philosophical Term Existentialism. Existentialism is about how you should be "totally free." This book connects to that because they are basically fighting for Freedom. They want to save the Earth and it's citizens. They want Freedom on Earth because if Apophis takes over then the Earth will be in his control. This book can also relate to the Philosophical Term Fatalism. It could be Carter and Sadie's (The two main Characters in the book) fate that they have to defeat Apophis. I think that it is their fate and it also could be Apophis's fate that he takes over the world. Overall this books connects to both Existentialism and Fatalism.
