1. The Allegory of the Cave is supposed to represent how we see and interpret certain things.
2. Imagery is used in the allegory in the statement of seeing shadows in the cave.
3. It suggests that education is only teaching people what the instructor wants them to learn.
4. The perspective of the cave dwellers are that they can't see much, but since they are shackled, it is the only thing they can see.
5. One thing that shackles the mind is our daily routine, or our daily schedule. It's the same thing we go through all day/week. We get used to it and it becomes a normal thing that doesn't change.
6. The cave prisoners are forced to see what they see, and are forced to know what they see. When the freed prisoner sees something and it's up to them to interpret what they see.
7. Two ways they can occur are belief, and imagination.
8. A prisoner is released, then has to rely on his new perceptions of reality to try and get himself out.
