blog 4

 1. The philosopher Plato, author of " The Allegory of the Cave " was about Socrates and Glaucon having a conversation of human behavior. This passage show us in a philosophical world idea by Socrates 500 b.c.e   the reality of our lives, people living underground with the legs and necks chained so that they can not move , they  can only see all kind of shadows coming from the fire on the other side of the wall and listen to the echo of the voices coming from the same direction. That is all they do all day and night. The question is, what if one day one of the prisoners is released ? He will be able to see the reality of the outside , the real wold, the real life and then he will realize that he was living in a cave a world of false notions.
2.This is my first time in college, a big challenge in my life i was probably chained before, until i decided to learn more , i realized that there is a world outside  full of ideas and full of tools to have a better life
