the allegory of the cave is from a famous author known as, Plato.the story was very hard for me to understand but after taking a quiz and talking about it with mr.H and my fellow peers I think I have realized what the story means.The background of the story takes place in a cave. there is a fire with people surrounding it.Past the fire and there is a wall.past the wall the is i believe a hall way with marionette players, and in front of them there are puppets.the two main characters of the story is Socrates and Glaucon. there are also prisoners in this cave. I believe that the cave represents life and kind of being in a cave would be like our childhood and it shield's us from the cold world out there and other stuff we will probably never see.That's what the prisoners are for,i think that there us and were basically prisoners because were so shielded from everything when were younger and than we have to face it when we grow up.

Glaucon said "Yes,he said,I think that he would rather suffer anything these false notions and live in this miserable manner."

I picked this quote because not only was it the first thing i saw but i kind of thought of it as,that the guy is so real and realizes that this everything is fake and he's living miserable manner.which he rather suffer than be fake.
