Blog 4 & 5: 'Allegory of the Cave'
The passage 'The Allegory of the Cave' was about people who were prisoners in a cave chained from their neck and legs since their childhood. It was hard for these prisoners to accept our world outside of the cave in the light because they had never left the cave. One man, However, managed to escaped the cave and was able to experience the world outside in the light and it was very different from what he was use to. At first it was hard for him to understand anything, To him it was all an illusion but he got use to the world in the light and he enjoyed it but he felt bad for the others who were still in the cave because they only knew darkness.

My name is Carlos. I am taking ENG101 with professor Vasileiou. For class we had to read your summary and give you some tips on how to write a good summary.
ReplyDeleteRemember to state the main idea before stating supporting ideas. I like that your summary was in order but lacked some important details. For example you should explain how they were chained by legs and neck in this cave since childhood to give the reader a visual they can use to understand better. Avoid using your opinion and only state what is in the text.
Summarize in order. Re-read your work and please use spell check. Grammar is quite important.
