Blog entry 5: " Allegory of The Cave"

In this video " Allegory of The Cave" by Plato. Plato shows prisoners that have been in a cave their entire lives. They are chained up and cannot see anything behind them. And in front of them is a wall, where they see shadows of people and other things passing by. They also hear echoing sounds around them. The reason they see shadows is because there is a fire burning behind them. That makes images that show up on the wall in front of the prisoners that appear to them. In the video it stated that imagine that one of the prisoners was set free. When the prisoner went outside he saw a world that he can never ever have imagined. He saw a woman and different objects. And  Also he heard different sounds that made him so excited, that he went back to the cave to tell the others prisoners about his experiences. But the others prisoners did not understand,
what he was talking about. Because to the other prisoners he was just another shadow and echoing sounds, like the ones that they have seen all their lives.
