Plato HW

Terms, and Vocab for Wednesday, Oct 21
Read Plato’s “The Allegory of the Cave” multiple times.


Term: Oxymoron
Allegory
Vocab:
            Virtue
Innate
Hedonism
Abstraction
            Indulgence
Asceticism
Impediment
             Divine
            Paltry
Keen
Inversion
Dazzled


In your reading journal, focus on the following things:
  1. Vocabulary you need to know to understand the allegory.  Collect as many words from the reading that you need and gather their definitions.
  2. Respond to question 4 on page 299.  There is no formal length requirement, but fully think through your answer. Anything less than a paragraph would be too short.
  3. Explain in a paragraph why this is called an allegory.  You might identify the allegorical representations and the message.

Complete SOAPSTone, of course
