Synthesis

The two texts that I will be using is The allegory of the Cave the prequel to the dune series called the Legends of dune which is composed of three books called The Butlerian Jihad, The Machine Crusade, and The Battle of Corrin.

Their are some similarities between the two texts. They both deal with how the people became complacent with how their lives have gone and stopped looking for something new. Both have how people have become enslaved by a some sort of captor, people who see something new and then have to make a choice of following it or letting it pass them by.

Some differences are that the Legends of dune is in future time where their enslavers are machines and not people. The biggest difference in the two stories is that you know for certain that the people are fighting back for change and to reclaim their freedom. In the allegory it seems the people found out that their is more out there, but are not sure about if they are ready and even want the change from what they have known their whole lives.

"Joy is something that brings happiness to a person."-Alex

"Nothing is better then hanging out with your friends while goofing off."-Yours Truly

Magic time- Joy is bringing happiness to you and your friends at any given time while doing anything.

joy

Just going for a ride, racing down the streets, feeling that rush of acceleration then maintaining that break neck pace. Nothing is better then hanging out with your friends while goofing off. Helping in making this video alone was a lot of fun, and an adventure. If the group gets sponsored for stunting then going around to competitions with the gang will be worthwhile

Allegory of the cave

The Allegory of the cave by Plato is a piece of literature that will really get you to think about society and our own personal lives. The above picture shows how the cave looked. The caves main purpose is to instruct their captives on what the world is, but to the captives this information is the real world to them they know no other life so they take the shadows to be what these things are. The captors are suppose to be philosophers of a sort doing like this ongoing experiment on these people. I saw these captors to be like a modern day government telling its people what they should know and what they should believe. Another insight that I had was that these captors were a lot of tlak but very little action they talked about all of these options about what they can do but they never really implemented what they talked about. It seems that most modern day governments do about this same sort of thing talking about various things but very rarely taking action to what they have talked about.

sterotypes

gender streostypes have been around for a very long time now. they keep going on and on like the neigeizer bunny because people keep believing in them, and find them to be true. I think that for the msot part these sterotypes are true. thats not saying that there exactly right just that i think that most of them are how people are and become sterotypes for good reason. take for a example the sterotype then men should be the bread winners. i think this is right because its like ingrianed into my system that i need to be able to support my family. this sterotype isnt a really bad one,but its something that everyone needs to think of. i think that the biggest problem with sterotypes is that everyone takes them at face value. to me that is just plain stupid and ignorant. i think that you need to look at things as a whole then afterwords you can start to analyize it.
