Her main goal is to get out and find her sister. The other comparation that I am making with this book is the the 2012 musical movie, “Les misérables”, directed by Tom Cooper.…

    In “Allegory of The Cave,” philosopher Plato explains to his student, Glaucon, that there are prisoners in a den tied up and have never been able to turn their bodies nor their heads to see what is behind them: a blazing fire. The prisoners can only see a wall and the shadows casted from the objects that pass along front of the fire (583). The shadows are the only truth the prisoners know since they have never been exposed to anything outside the cave. Plato further explains saying “To them... the truth would be literally nothing but the shadows of the images” (584).…

    The fictional story the Allegory of the Cave can be interpreted in many different ways in the modern world. The way which I will try to interpret the Allegory of the Cave is the following. The prisoners as the Greek intemperate are the iron man just as humanity in this generation. The puppeteers are the government. The shadows that the fire cast, which puppeteer's show in the walkway represents what the government wants to show the citizen or (the prisoners of society).…

Throughout the ECR I will refer to the incarcerated Wes as The Other Wes and the author Wes as Wes Moore.

The purpose of the book is to show that life is what you make it, it’s up to you if you want to be successful or a drug dealer.…

    The Sniper and Cranes have differences that give two opposite ideas of the story. The main focus of The Sniper targets the civil war and the repercussions that follow it, whereas Cranes focuses on the loyalty one has to family and friends. The Sniper expresses the toll the war has taken on the soldier and how it affects him by giving detail about the feelings and thoughts he has about the war. The author wants the reader to know that the sniper is dedicated to his duty and does not think twice about the decisions he has to make. In Cranes, the opposite occurs; Songsam goes out of his duty and gives Tokchae the chance to escape instead of taking him to be killed, as he volunteered to do in the first place.…
