Philosophical analysis and plot summary of Daniel Quinn's "Ishmael".

Everyone has different opinions on life. Some may say that humans are superior to all living things and others say otherwise. In Ishmael, author Daniel Quinn gives the reader his opinions on topics such as evolution, the Bible, and western culture. The first draft of the book was written in 1977, and the final draft was released in 1990. Between 1977 and 1990, Quinn wrote six drafts of Ishmael. Daniel Quinn wrote Ishmael to teach us how to save …

…to save the world from ourselves. In this book, the reader learns that mankind is the enemy of the world. Quinn does a genius job by making the reader think differently on things such as evolution, religion, and culture. Ishmael is an interesting book that brings the reader to think of things they had never thought of before. I recommend Ishmael to everyone so we can all learn to be heroes and save our world.
