Summary

"The Confessions of Jean Jacques Rousseau — Volume 02" by Jean-Jacques Rousseau is a story of the author's own life, written during a time of great thinkers and new ideas, and it continues Rousseau's deep thoughts about his life, the things he went through, and what he learned about the world, touching on big ideas of being free, love, getting along with others, and right and wrong. The writing gives a raw look at who he is and how he grew to understand himself. Picking up from an earlier point in his life, this part tells of when Rousseau ran away from home as a young man searching for his own path. The memoir captures a sense of his youthful innocence and his desire to be accepted, showing his battles with life's hard truths and his struggle to find his place in society. Rousseau thinks hard about the rightness of his decisions and how they weigh on his soul.
