Blog2; summary of "The Allegory of the Cave"

                The passage of "the Allegory of the Cave", is about generally two main characters; a teacher, and a student. The teacher is explaining to the student how people who once lived in the cave saw things as they were. For instance, the person can literally see the item, but can see the item passing by. By seeing the shadow of the item, the person assumes that is the item being presented. One of the people in the cave were free from exploring outside of the cave, and realized that what people inside the cave thought, were not as they seem. In the end, the person told others inside the cave about what is happening in the real world, but nobody believed him, or was unable to accept the fact that what others saw who lived in  the cave was not realistic.
