Response to the allegory of the cave.
       I think that Plato's allegory of the cave is very wise and well thought about. I Believe that what he is saying is true. I just think that if I looked at something for my whole life and I never knew anything else except for these shadows, then when I turned around, I don't think that I would know that what i was seeing is actually reality or if it was just a dream. Also if they saw a shadow of a book (which is rectangle) then how would they know from the shadow that this was a book if they have never seen one before. I think that what Plato was saying though is very wise and that many people are like the people staring at the wall and never know anything else.
