~~ Plato's Myth Of The Cave~~

hello.....Assalamualaikum...

what is plato's myth of the cave????? let me explain it ok..

Plato myth of the cave is about several prisoners live in an underground cave. They have been there since their childhood the worst thing is they cannot move anywhere because there have chains tight them.

Behind them,there is only fire .They cannot see anything except their own shadow,between prisoners and fire there is a screen which puppets player show their puppets. And one day there is an old man who are sympathizes with their conditions.

Actually the prisoners, the chains, the fire, the shadow ,the puppets player and the old man is just an analogy to symbolize something.

The task was given to us, we have to related the real world with the the Plato's analogy. i have chosen Malaysian political system. In my opinion,

The prisoners is symbolise The Malaysian's citizen

The Chains is symbolize The Laws that our country have

The Fire is symbolize The Politicians in Malaysia country

The Shadows and The Image is symbolize their manifesto before election day, they say promise to people.

The Puppet Players is symbolize The wealthy people and the person who are standing behind them are politicians.

The Old Man is symbolize knowledge

the reason why the prisoners hurt his eyes when he was first liberate it is because the prisoners cannot accept the truth thing what happens in their life.

the prisoners still insist that the images which he has seen before is real that the statues because, they cannot accept the truth thing and of course the truth thing is very hurtful...

::General comment for 4 article::

Asslamualaikum.....

For this time i have to give general comment for 4 article which is Thinking folly by Eckhart tolle, the degree of Happiness by Betrand Russell, Men and women are merely players by Robert Grenne and the last are the Jews an their Deceits by Adolf

Hitler.

Eckhart Tolle

Betrand Russell

Robert Greene

Adolf Hitler

For 4 these article have give big impact to my perception. In Thinking Folly article it teach me how to think wisely and do not think over-limit, and for the article the degree of Happiness, in this article the writer come out with his opinion which is everybody have their own happiness and there is level of happiness between rich and poor people.However, for the article men and women are merely players has revealed that how people pretending in order to get power, and the last article is Jews and their deceits tells us about who is the real Jews.However , in my opinion these article is quit hard for me to argue. To make sure i'm on a right track i have to make research a little bit about these article before i make a stand.

Simile & Metaphor

what is simile?? and what is metaphor??

let me explain little bit okayy.

A simile is a figure of speech that indirectly compares two different things by employing the words "like", "as", or "than" as for example:

"Chris was a record-setting runner as fast as a speeding bullet."

"Laughs like a hyena"

"As agile as a monkey"

"As alike as two peas in a pod"

"As bald as a coot"

"As beautiful as nature"

"As big as a bus"

"As big as an elephant"

whereas Metaphor is the concept of understanding one thing in terms of another. A metaphor is a figure of speech that constructs an analogy between two things or ideas, the analogy is conveyed by the use of a metaphorical word in place of some other word. Metaphors compare things without using "like" or "as."

"Her eyes were glistening jewels"

" apple of my eyes'

"love is batlefield'

" My memory is a little cloudy"
