In Plato’s “The Allegory of the Cave” Socrates tells a story to his student Gloucun to explain him and us that cognition require a lot of effort to learn and understand many things. In cave where did not come sun’s light was resided enchained people. They have been there since their childhood. Behind them, so far of them was flaming a fire. Between them and the fire is wall where some people passing and carrying different things. Those people were moving, speaking that those words spread upon cave in misrepresented type. Prisoners’ legs and necks chained so that they couldn’t move or turn their heads. They could see only the front of them, where they could see shadows of the figures that were passing on beside them. They didn’t know about other world, Sun’s light, and freedom. They believed that that echo and shadows on the wall were reality.Such events usually occur in our life. Sometime we believe in events which somebody tries to intrude his or her views. Despite these views are wrong. Also in our lives, we frequently believe in usual things, and don’t want to believe uncommon events because we get used to them.
Once one of prisoners liberated of chain and he found out exit of that underground when he overcome all difficulties. His eyes dazzled by daylight and it caused him a lot of sufferings and pain. Then, gradually he adapted and wondered to see real world, the stars, and the sun. He was so happy to see real world. He wanted to help his friends and decided to go back in cave.
However, when he reached the cave, he couldn’t see at dark. Prisoners said that he became madman after he had left the cave. Also, he became blind and lost his mind. When he tried to persuade them to liberate of chain and go to up, they didn’t believe him and finally they killed him.

Mmm--while your two other readers are right in their overall impression, you did invent some parts: for example, the prisoner does not get killed. (!)
