Epicurean Philosophy

If You Give a Mouse a Cookie relates to Epicurean Philosophy because the book makes life seem like a cycle that repeat itself. For example, the book starts off having the mouse get a cookie then milk. Then after the mouse did many other things, he got another cookie. Next, you the reader, can assume what the mouse is going to ask for next. A List by Arnold Lobel relates to Epicurean Philosophy because it shows people to live your life right now and don't worry about whats going to happen in the next moment or tomorrow. For example, Toad writes a list of things he wants to do but when he goes outside the paper blows away. So, what he does is sits down and does nothing until he can think of what was on that paper. This is a perfect example because you can plan your whole life out and one little thing can go wrong or change and you now are completely lost. It's Mine relates to Epicurean Philosophy because it shows how people can go through one traumatic event which will change their view in life. For example, the three frogs on the island claim that its theirs but when a flood destroys the island and the island returns more beautiful then before, they all say it is our island. They change their minds because they now know how everything can change in an instance.
