English 10 Homework for Monday, Oct. 3:

1. Plato and You: Your homework over the weekend is to continue to reflect on yourself as a prisoner in Plato's Cave...examining your condition as an individual who is learning about the world and yourself in it.

What is the truth? Who are you? How chained are you?  What "Light" do you understand? Who do you want to be in the allegory? Why?  How do you find Enlightenment? What does it take to become a person with conviction, and who can see the truth.  

Set up 3 body paragraphs and start to develop each one. Decide what each Body Paragraph will focus on. It is personal,  therefore it requires personal examples and clear examples and explanations. However you must include Plato and his allegory in the process.

I will be checking your progress on this Monday, and frequently after that.

"By the Waters of Babylon" will be done in-class.
