Allegory Of The Cave Summary - think, that
Plato claimed that knowledge gained through the senses is no more than opinion and that, in order to have real knowledge, we must gain it through philosophical reasoning. It goes like this: The Cave Imagine a cave, in which there are three prisoners. The prisoners are tied to some rocks, their arms and legs are bound and their head is tied so that they cannot look at anything but the stonewall in front of them. These prisoners have been here since birth and have never seen outside of the cave. Behind the prisoners is a fire, and between them is a raised walkway. People outside the cave walk along this walkway carrying things on their head including; animals, plants, wood and stone. The Shadows So, imagine that you are one of the prisoners. You cannot look at anything behind or to the side of you — you must look at the wall in front of you. When people walk along the walkway, you can see shadows of the objects they are carrying cast on to the wall. Allegory Of The Cave SummaryAllegory Of The Cave Summary Video

Although I am not requiring a revision, I would suggest revising based on my feedback and submitting a revision before the 29th before midnight if you would like a higher grade. You are on the right track, but you need to spend more time establishing the relationships among parts of the Cave with parts of your personal experience.
