Respose to the Reading of Areopagitica

In this reading I discovered that it's a three-sided argument between John's experiences with Parliament, the Church, and the Commonwealth which are the people. But, each had their own description in the world of knowledge, censorship, and the ways of life itself. John believes that censorship could lead to the stop of truth, Parliament believes that cutting off knowledge could lead to stopping all life and going backwards, the Church believes all books and knowledge are written in God's image, and finally, the Commonwealth believe that if censorship exists how will the people be able to teach truth. To my understanding even if all side have one opinion to another one thing still reflects on all of these and that is God did give us free will a chance to be our own selves so we express the feelings, emotions, and wisdom to share with the world and with a few kicks in the right direction we the people can help make this world a better place.
