Have a little read: ... Christine Sargent Mrs. Bice AP Composition April 15, 2002 AP Question # 3 The quote "Ignorance is bliss" has great connection with the last line in the book of Ecclesiastes from the Bible, "...increase in knowledge is increase in sorrow." This can be seen in the world around through the maturation of children the comparison between man and other animals, and through literature. These comparisons and conformations allow one to see the sorrowful side of knowledge. Throughout life, people mature and gain knowledge through experiences and observations. A child knowing very little seems to have a nonchalant care free existence. But as that child ages and matures, one can see his character almost fall from its happy state to a more solemn and observant state of mind.
