1. In my opinion the allegory of the cave is showing how people view reality based on beliefs and former ideas.
2.The cave itself is a place of deceit, and their are chains that form links to reality.
3. it suggests that the process of enlightenment and education are rarely found by ones self and those who do find it should help others.
4.The shackles show how oppressed the cave dwellers are, it shows what a burden reality can have on someone.
5.there are multiple things that cause our minds to be chained down in today's world, the internet is often a place where the first thing read is what is most commonly known to be true, and there are substances that humans use to free themselves of life's burdensome chains like alcohol.
6. The free prisoner is in aw as to what he now understands to be true, he sees just how clouded and incorrect his previous beliefs were. The caved prisoners still only see what they believe to be true.
7.There is physical darkness that limits a persons understanding and then there is the limitation of already instilled beliefs that leave people in darkness.
8. The prisoners need only to simply stand up. they are however burdened in body and mind by this action so only a few follow through and complete the task.
9. reality is known through appearances. they are not the same as people may interpret an appearance differently from someone else, but the reality that human kind knows is put together of the most commonly understood and believed thoughts.
10. Um what? I do not understand this question and will be asking about it in class on monday
