Read the passage from "Allegory of the Cave."
Socrates: And now, let me show in a figure how far our
nature is enlightened or unenlightened: - Behold!
human beings living in a underground den, which has a
mouth open towards the light and reaching all along the
den; here they have been from their childhood, and
have their legs and necks chained so that they cannot
move, and can only see before them, being prevented
by the chains from turning round their heads. Above
and behind them a fire is blazing at a distance, and
between the fire and the prisoners there is a raised
way; and you will see, if you look, a low wall built along
the way, like the screen which marionette players have
in front of them, over which they show the puppets.
What is the purpose of describing human beings as
living in an underground den?
to show that many people live their lives in terrible
physical conditions
to use imagery to suggest that people are trapped
by their perceptions and prevented from
understanding reality
O to show that people depend on others like the
players to describe reality
O to use imagery to show that people must change
their governments to escape their misunderstanding
of reality

She wept at once, with sudden. wild abandonment, in her sister's arms. When the storm of grief had spent itself she went away to her
room alone. She would have no one follow her.
There stood, facing the open window, a comfortable, roomy armchair. Into this she sank, pressed down by a physical exhaustion that
haunted her body and seemed to reach into her soul.
She could see in the open square before her house the tops of trees that were all aquiver with the new spring life. The delicious breath of
rain was in the air. In the street below peddler was crying his wares. The notes of a distant song which someone was singing reached
her faintly, and countless sparrows were twittering in the eaves.
There were patches of blue sky showing here and there through the clouds that had met and piled one above the other in the west facing
her window.
She sat with her head thrown back upon the cushion of the chair, quite motionless, except when a sob came up into her throat and shook
a her, as a child who has cried itself to sleep continues to sob in its dreams.

I could work as much and eat as much as a man – when I could get it – and bear the lash as well! And ain't I a woman?
