Evaluation Of Plato’s Allegory Of The Cave
Number of Words: 300 / Number of Pages: 2
... wants to know.
As written in the text, “People are happy in their ignorance. They resent those who force them to recognize that they are ignorant”.
Plato's Allegory of the Cave greatly symbolizes man's struggle to reach the light of knowledge and the suffering of those left behind who are forced to sit in the dark of their ignorance and stare at shadows on a wall. I think the problem is with those who choose to stay in the dark. People are afraid, why, or is it simply that they are not ready? For the truth and reality both require change. People can only learn and acquire knowledge through reaso ...

To Kill A Mockingbird: Injustice
Number of Words: 656 / Number of Pages: 3
... accused, and conducted himself as a gentleman. Tom's actions depict
the kind of man he truly was, not one to rape and beat a helpless teenager,
but one to conduct himself as a civilized human being. I strongly feel
that this is a remedy that Harper Lee offers on the subject of dealing with
everyday injustice. Instead of getting angry when someone puts us down, we
should react by laughing along with the person or even just walki ng away.
These reactions may douse the person's sprit to criticize you and end the
tormenting
Another issue of injustice confronted in To Kill A Mockingbird is ...

A Review Of Huxley's Brave New World
Number of Words: 4621 / Number of Pages: 17
... Reservation convey just how nasty the old regime of pain,
disease and unhappiness can be. If you think it does, then you enjoy an
enviably sheltered life and an enviably cosy imagination. For it's all
sugar-coated pseudo-realism.
In BNW, Huxley contrives to exploit the anxieties of his bourgeois
audience about both Soviet Communism and Fordist American capitalism. He
