            In Plato's "Allegoy of the Cave" Socrates, explains to Glauon  (Plato's younge follower), the complex idea of enlightenment tn a simple and understandable story. Using the idea of "human beings living in a undergrond den", he then constructs a senario where one is set free to experiencing the world outside the den, with the new perception of the world trys to explain what was seen on the outside.

  1. Blog Series Evaluation 1:

    This first series of blogs are okay.

    For the next set, I would like you to try to write longer, especially when we are summarizing/ responding to readings.

    Also, could you please disable your "captcha" so that it is easy to comment on your blog?

    Hey Michael.
    First of all I will like to start by saying that this is too short and It seems like you just summarized the text in a couple of sentences. It seems like you wasn't interested about writing this blog. It would of had been so much better if you would of had taken your time to think deeply and write about what was the message that the story is trying advice the reader about. Your blog has some spelling errors and one thing that you can do for this not to happen again is if you take some time to read your text a couple of times to yourself. You forgot to write about your opinion which was probably the most important part. Better luck next time.
