Cave

Frank’s Cave & The Wonders of Magic When I pulled up to Frank’s Cave I could see that it was a place for nerdy people. There was some art of popular characters painted on the building. Although the art looked unfinished, I could tell that the artist had talent, and I hope that one day I can see the art finished. As I went inside I had imagined that I would get the smell of dust, I was shocked when I had went inside to not pick up any immediate scents. It smelt like there was no difference…

seven with an allegory, which has been referred to the “allegory of the cave.” In this allegory, there was a large quantity of men who have been trapped in darkness since their birth. They are forced to sit still, while they stared at cave wall in front of them and rooted. A blazing fire is burning behind them and some bodies bearing objects moved around the fire irregularly. As the people walk by, shadows would generate on the cave wall and the prisoners would have their own perspective and…

the unknown; making philosophy a field of study that is virtually endless. So much so, that many people have given their entire lives in the pursuit of answers to these ‘Whys’. One of these people being the Greek philosopher Plato. In his story ‘The Cave’, we find his characters in chains, forced to look at a single…

My “CAVE”: Everything is Not What It Seems If people were educated properly, they would have a better perspective on things that are in front of them. Before the Common Era, Plato wrote, “The Allegory of the Cave,” in his work The Republic to expose the effect of education and the lack of it in our nature. Plato addressed his theory in the form of a dialogue between a teacher and his student. Socrates, the teacher, explained to Glaucon, the student, how people believe that knowledge comes from…

Plato’s story, “The Allegory of the Cave”. Those people never left the safety of the cave. One person did and when they told the others he or she was met with disbelief and terror. The people in the cave did not want change. They were comfortable with the little knowledge they had. I am one of the very few who are fortunate to escape the cave and see the real world. Mexico, Missouri is like the cave and the rest of the world is change. Every year I leave the cave by going on a family vacation.…

meaning both Johnathan Livingston Seagull by Richard Bach and “The Myth of the Cave” by Plato are both examples of this. In reading of these stories, there exist several similarities and innumerable differences. Flock members ban Johnathan Livingston Seagull for flying too fast and reckless, whereas in the cave a prisoner escapes from darkness into the light. Johnathan Livingston Seagull and “The Myth of the Cave” have a similar set of actions in ascent into enlightenment, functioning in the…

The Allegory of the Cave is a story from Plato with a message, this story teaches how people are compelled to do new activities. The prisoners are shackled to walls and their look on the world changes once they are able to go out and experience the light. Very few prisoners are set free and the one’s that are seeing new experiences and other people see negative effects from it. A person’s perspective changes upon the items that they can see and what they can’t. In the cave, the prisoners are…

Mountains of southeast New Mexico. The cave was dissolved along cracks and faults in the limestone rock by sulfuric acid. The limestone was laid down about 250,000,000 years ago, as part of a reef complex along the edge of an inland sea. Seventeen to 20,000,000 years ago, the ancient reef rocks that had been buried under thousands of feet of younger rocks began to lift upwards. This historic park is very special because it contains more than 119 limestone caves. The cavern is special because of…

Looking at the Toreador Fresco in comparison to the Lascaux Cave painting, Hall of the Bulls, it can be seen that the relationship between human beings and nature were exceptionally different for the two different time periods. During the paleolithic era, some animals, such as bison and deer, were painted in honor of being used as food, while others were painted to show that they were feared predators. However, in some cases animals were painted for the sole purpose of documentation or as a…

Being Kept in the Cave “You can’t build a house without nails and wood. If you don’t want a house built, hide the nails and wood. If you don’t want a man unhappy politically, don’t give him two sides to a question to worry him; give him one. Better yet, give him none… Let him forget there is such a thing as war” (Bradbury pg. 58). In this dystopian society, the media avoids giving valuable and worrying information to the public in order to keep peace and order. This lying and holding back of…
