Today in class I have learned about Plato. As most of you know Plato was a famous philosopher who founded the academy in Athens. He is famous for his book Republic. Plato was born on the year of 428 B.C. He founded the academy of Athens. Plato was also apprenticed and taught by Socrates. Plato created the theory of forms. My interpretation of Plato's cave which is in his book Republic is that you are thinking in a box and all the sudden you wonder and question everything around you. Also how you go to different restaurants and try something else even though  you are used to the same thing. Another example is going to a different country and trying to understand their language, culture, and laws.
