Blog Entry 4: My pace in the Cave

             The allegory of the cave is written by the Greek Philosopher Plato. He wants to show a different ways of people's believing in a real or fake world. The allegory is also about how some people have power of educate themselves and some lack the belief or confidence. Plato describes in the story a dark cave with the prisoners chained and facing the wall their entire lives. They only see the shadows on the wall which was made by fire burning behind them. That was their real little world. One day, one of the prisoners was set free, and he run out of the cave and discover new world. He realize that these shadows were never real. That everything in cave is fake, and that outside world is beautiful and bright. He quickly returns to cave to share what he saw and discovered, but the other prisoners didn't believe him.
