It teaches to get out of ones comfort zone and those who dont agree and allowed to voice their opinions even though they're wrong

The allegory of the cave is about the exploration of new ideas, so by reading it toward the end of our study of literature, it is a reminder to keep our views open to the discovery of new ideas. This will most likely apply to our modern novels, because they are newer and will discuss information we have not thought of.

We read this to show that at the beginning of AP lit we were more stuck in our own understanding of things, thinking about how few people read Beloved this is obvious, but as we have been pushed out of our comfort zone we have grown and can see connections that may have not been seen at the beginning of our AP lit Journey. It is also important to read this before modern novels, because there may be material in them that is against our own opinions, but this helps us to keep an open mind when it comes to the messages in the books we have read and are going to read in the future.

Reading is designed to open the audience to new ideas and therefore exposing us to something we hadn't thought of. Maybe sumthin we read can apply out in the world.

Near the end of AP Lit, we are leaving behind what we've always known, like the cave, and venturing out into an unfamiliar world that is not expected and generically normal and we can have fear for this new situation and new experience.

The modern novels we are going to read are not just fictional stories. They have a meaning behind them that often an allegory for some part of society.

The only part of our lives that we have experienced is childhood. We are entering adulthood where our conceptions of the world will change. In order to make progress we have to be willing to leave the cave of our current life to find new opportunities.

As we near the end of AP lit and high school education, our ideas of what makes something of literary merit have changed. What we look for in books is different than it was before. Much of this has to do with aging and how we see the world as we get older. Politics are boring to a five year old but most of us will be voting in the next election so it is far more interesting to us.

The "Allegory of The Cave" brings the fear of change and the unknown present in human society today. Towards the end of AP Lit, we're preparing for our exams and getting ready to head off to college. By reading this, we can see that many of us are still in our own comfort zones and we need to branch out. We need to take risks and listen to others' perspectives. We are about to leave the "cave" that is our childhood and home to a new place where we will have to understand new discomforts that will help us grow.

It is important to look at things from a new perspective. I think a lot of us have been stuck in a cave the entire year with just one way of viewing things. I feel like especially now with the AP test coming up, we should open not only our minds, but also our eyes so we can see not just a small piece of the pie, but the whole pie. For some of us, not viewing the whole pie could be what is hindering us and our writing in the end.

To draw attention to the fact that we are entering the world as adults who must face new challenges and pioneer new ways to view the world and accomplish goals.  We are leaving the cave that has been our childhood and although we might be blinded or uncomfortable at first we need to persevere and make those new discoveries.

Reading “The Allegory if the Cave” relates to AP Lit because we do not want to be stuck in a certain perspective while reading books. We want to encompass all the different perspectives of the book and be open to the ideas expressed in the novels. If we only look at it one way, we might miss the overarching theme. The modern novels have more controversy than the earlier books and we can relate to them more, so therefore we need to be open minded and not count out the entire book because you disagree with something. AP Lit is also a discussion so it’s important to realize that you need to venture out of the cave

Branch out. Just because one person says something does not mean that it is fact. You’re telling us to turn around, to cease looking at the shadows and begin to open to the light. While it might be painful and tiring, the view of the sun and the top of the mountain is worth it. Once achieving sight, the pain it took to get there recedes and all that is left is the glittering view before you. Branch out, go find, and turn towards the light, wherever it may be.

The “Allegory of the Cave” could relate to how many of us get stuck in our same ideas or comfort zones when it comes to interpreting literature or the ideas we create. This is important because it reveals how we should be dynamic in our thinking and not be afraid to have an idea that may not be normal. It also connects to the fact that many of us our leaving high school and going off to college. We’ve all been going to grade school for many years and have therefore developed a large sense of comfort and complacency from the same routine. College is a huge change in not only environment but it also introduces a new way of thinking and seeing the world. This change is scary but vital to the development of every life.
