Wow! Today was really good! We reviewed and then learned about the Allegory of the Cave. So, basically, three men were tied up in a cave, turned away from the outside since birth, and could only see things based off their shadows. One day, one of the men got free. He went outside and learned the truth of of what everything is. Being the GREAT guy he probably was, he went to go tell his friends the truth of the world. They called him crazy and went against what he was saying.
When we talked about it in class, we decided that this foreshadows some of the issues we face in the modern world; about some of the people who think they are right all the time, or even think those lesser don't know anything. We also talked about fake news and unreliable information and about how some may not believe things if they think it's opinion rather than fact.
Look what we can sing tomorrow!
