Plato's "Myth of the cave" is an argument that we can't be sure we know reality because this is one of his illustrates idealism. Human beings don't have a full sense of a real and complete life because of the world.

1. I have choose my own college as the setting that is similar to this story.

2. Here my opinion towards the object symbolizes:

1. the prisoner - they are the students
2. the chain - the rules that exist and being used
3. the fire - the punishment that the students must get through when they are make mistake
4. the shadows and the images - the strict rules that burden the students in the college
5. the puppet players - MPP that love to manipulate people especially new students
6. the old man - Administration

3. In my opinion, why the prisoner hurt his eyes when he was first liberated: in the real situation shows that this is because, to change or obey to the new rules is not that easy because it such a culture shock for the old students.
