Read the passage from "Allegory of the Cave." Socrates: And now, let me show in a figure how far our
nature is enlightened or unenlightened: - Behold! human
beings living in a underground den, which has a mouth
open towards the light and reaching all along the den;
here they have been from their childhood, and have their
legs and necks chained so that they cannot move, and
can only see before them, being prevented by the chains
from turning round their heads. Above and behind them a
fire is blazing at a distance, and between the fire and the
prisoners there is a raised way; and you will see, if you
look, a low wall built along the way, like the screen which
marionette players have in front of them, over which they
show the puppets.
What is the purpose of describing human beings as
living in an underground den?
O to show that many people live their lives in terrible
physical conditions
to use imagery to suggest that people are trapped by
their perceptions and prevented from understanding
reality
O to show that people depend on others like the players
to describe reality
to use imagery to show that people must change their
governments to escape their misunderstanding of
reality
Ok

1. read the following excerpt from franklin d. roosevelt's "fireside chat 19":

on the other side of the picture, we must learn also to know that guerilla warfare against the germans in, let us say serbia or norway, us; that a successful russian offensive against the germans us; and that british successes on land or sea in any part of the world strengthen our hands.

remember always that germany and italy, regardless of any formal declaration of war, consider themselves at war with the united states at this moment just as much as they consider themselves at war with britain or russia. and germany puts all the other republics of the americas into the same category of enemies. the people of our sister republics of this hemisphere can be honored by that fact.  

the true goal we seek is far above and beyond the ugly field of battle. when we resort to force, as now we must, we are determined that this force shall be directed toward ultimate good as well as against immediate evil. we americans are not destroyers — we are builders.
