Through the Confessions, Augustine provides a diary of his life. Education played an important role in its development. The character education of Augustine began from the moment he began to communicate. He later received formal education before being removed from school due to financial difficulties. Augustine the narrator believes that his education is a will granted by God; however, at times, Augustine's character seemed to take advantage of this will. Through this ability, granted by the will of God, the character of Augustine was able to become literate. The first book begins with infancy and childhood. Augustine's first form of character education began when he learned to speak. In chapter eight, the narrator Augustine recounts his transformation from infancy to childhood: from not knowing the language to turning into a “talkative boy” (Book 1, ch. 8, p. 9). The narrator Augustine also points out that he did not learn to speak through formal education, such as school. Instead, he learned to speak and communicate through “various cries and sounds and movements of my limbs to express the feelings of my heart, so that my will might be obeyed” (Book 1, chapter 8, page 9). Through the acquisition of speech, the character Augustine was able to enter society and receive a formal education. As the character Augustine's life continued, he was forced to attend school to gain a formal education, something he had not known before. Augustine's character was a slow learner, which led to him getting beaten up. August the narrator points out that this was a highly praised teaching method, followed for many years. This method was so highly praised because of those who came before Augustine as a character, and had “laid out the hard paper......half the paper......t, Augustine the narrator should still take his age and take into account his maturity. In the Confessions Augustine traces the diary of his life, especially his education. The narrator Augustine comes to the conclusion that his education was granted by God and therefore should be accepted willingly. However, at times, Augustine's character ignored this gift and sinned. I think Augustine, the narrator, may have been too harsh on his character's alter ego. He was a child and therefore still had a lot to learn, which is why he was forced to attend school. Additionally, children make mistakes such as being tormented by distractions and disobedience. A man who follows the Catholic faith should not be able to understand and understand that through our sins and mistakes we are allowed to repent and this allows us to grow and grow closer to God??
