• In what ways is Case’s character (or other characters) always stuck in Plato’s cave? Use specific examples from the text to prove your point.

For this essay, you should do the following:

• Explain the relevance of those quotes as they relate to/support your argument.
• Use a conclusion strategy of your choice that fits with your essay’s ideas and that provides a strong ending for your essay.
• Create a Works Cited page for the essay. (Please note that this page does not count toward the page limit.)
