Waking up in a perfect world, In the city that never sleeps. Living in a Condominium, Upper east side Manhattan. Going to work and listening to the opening bell, at the New York Stock Exchange. Ending your day on a luminous night at the Radio City Music Hall, Watching The Lion King. That would be my world i would live in.

Blog Entry 7: Reflection and Evaluation
Taking a good class like this, in semester with Professor Dr Smith, i am sure i can pass this CATW. Unfortunately this is my 3rd time taking this course and i am tired of writing because i don't what part of my writing i am wrong. laziness has taken over so i been slacking in this class. I have 5 class and the reason i added this is so i can take the other 4 classes with credits. without this class i would be taking only 2 class only. So i had no choice.
overall i like this class. hopefully i can try and write more. I believe i did in somewhat okay.

Blog Entry 6
After reading "Allegory of the Cave" again and again i had similar events i experience through. Socrates talks about an underground cave where prisoners all they saw is a wall right in front of them. Appearing from the wall shadows would pop out swarming,, but they did not know that what really created them was a huge fire behind them , reflecting them as a form of shadows.
Comparing my life with Socrates's Allegory of the cave , when i young, i believed in Santa Claus. Every winter i would grow with happiness because it was the time of the year i would get what i wished for. As you grow older you are tempted to ask for more value things; As a result , it wasn't a really good year for me even tho i got cloths instead of what i asked for Christmas. Similar to the Allegory of the cave i was just focus on what i was getting like the prisoners, looking right in front of the wall their whole lives. The year after had the same problem. I asked myself why am i getting less and less. I was still young and eligible for Christmas presents. Unfortunately Things never changed. However we didn't came from a rich family so i knew things wouldn't be as happy i as expected. In school they asked me if I believed in Santa, i replied back " of course " . I was inform that Santa Claus wasn't real. I slowly understood the problem why i didn't get what i asked for.
Furthermore, I comprehended that all the toys i asked for were really expensive and it made me realize that having another brother and my parents work hard, it wouldn't be easy. In despite of, The Allegory of the Cave the prisoners acted the same way because out of all the prisoners only one understood the situation and came to help them.
In conclusion i realize that it was a great thing because i believed and understood what was happening.

Blog Entry 5
Reading about "Allegory of the Cave" the passage states that Socrates talks about an underground cave where prisoners all they see is a wall . They're all chained that what they see in front of them is a wall. On the wall shadows appear as soul to take them away . The prisoners are scare of the shadow that beholds them but in reality they don't know that the fire behind them is what creates the shadow. However, a prisoner escapes and sees the cause of the shadow and leaves the cave to see what reality holds him outside. In return to free the other prisoners to tell them the truth he ends up having a bad ending.
