"Allegory of the Cave"

"Allegory of the Cave"
In the passage of “The Allegory of the Cave,” from Wikipedia is about three prisoners who were in cave since child. They were seating chained and looking straight forward to a blank wall that was projecting shadows of different animals. They thought or believe that those shadows were real animals but the reality was, that their professor was playing behind those images without their knowledge. The professor chose one of the prisoner and let him freed outside, showed him the reality. The prisoner saw the natural environment and saw how his appearance was reflected in the water. The prisoner decided to go back to tell his friends, the other prisoner, about his experiences and share knowledge but the other prisoner did not know pay attention to him. They treated him like if he was crazy.
