Allegory the cave is about a Greek philosopher name Socrates who starts to imagine a world where people are imprisoned in a cave since their childhood and chained up from head to toe facing the wall most of their life. These prisoners only see the shadows on the wall which is caused by the fire and those shadows are the only thing that's real to the prisoners. Socrates then said one of the prisoners is freed from the chains and starts to discover that the shadows are not real. What the prisoner is starting to see is a whole new world he now sees real people, sunlight and realizes that the cave is not real. The prisoner returns back to the cave and tells the others about he saw but the other prisoners don't believe him.
My pace in life is similar to allegory the cave. I am a city person the only thing I knew about was the city just the prisoners only knew about shadows. My environment
