                            Chapter 2 Cambridge 

Luckily, Newton wasn't the only one who hated becoming a farmer. So did his uncle and his school master.His uncle managed to talk to his mother to send him into a university. So he went to the part of Cambridge University. Although his mother was well-off, she didn't want to pay his fees. So he had to be a sitar. However, much of the university taught didn't  interest Newton at all. Thus he went the library to read what he wanted. Newton began to read some famous people's writings on his own.

Newton was still based on the writings of Aristotle. Aristotle made his theories based on observation of the world around him. Some scholars had been challenging the old ways of explaining how the world worked. Thus, Newton set out to learn from them. He read the ideas of Copernicus. His most famous thing is to overthrow Aristotle's geocentric theory, but the heliocentric theory. He also read about Galileo. He also overthrew some of Aristotle's ideas. For example, Aristotle believed that the heavier ball musts come to the ground faster than the light one. But Galileo proved that it's wrong with his experiment.

From these books, Newton had known that everything would be wrong although it seemed reasonable.He was curious about new things he didn't know. So he started to explore by himself. Finally, he passed the exam and became a scholar. So far, he didn't feel so lonely. He wanted to have a good life. However, the plague came again. He had to leave.
