The bible’s story of the Garden of Eden proposes an allegorical view of a human life that is generally accepted as accurate. The idea of blissful ignorance being followed a fall from that innocence, and then a rebirth into blissful knowledge is seen over and over in literature including A Separate Peace, Kite Runner, and even more modern books such as Phillip Pullman’s His Dark Materials trilogy. Even nonfiction books can reflect this allegory for the human life. To a small degree even biographies such as Three Cups of Tea reflect this theme. Rarely is the idea discussed that the fall from innocence may be a good thing.

Emily Dickenson’s poems“Tell all the truth” , “The brain“ and Plato’s “allegory of the cave” are speaking of truth,and the wonders the mind can hold. In plato’s “The allegory of the cave”, the prisoners eyes are hurt by the light he was shown; in Emily Dickenson’s” Tell all the truth”, she says “ the truth must dazzle gradually”. Each could help one another out in their points because they are portraying the same message.“The truth's superb surprise” is shown very clearly in both the poem and the allegory, for in the poem, it has been directly stated ,and in the allegory, we find that the truth is not what the prisoner had thought it was , that he will “ ..be perplexed”.“ Success in circuit lies” is telling the reader the only way to get anywhere is to move; in the allegory, the prisoners do not move and do not know of anything other than where they sit, until the one prisoner is freed. At that point, the only one who got anything done was the liberated prisoner.This all shows how truth can have many different ways of showing itself, and both plato’s writing and Emily’s writing can work together to prove one point about truth. In Emily Dickinson's” The brain” we can see her point of how much the brain is truly capable of; also, in “the allegory of the cave”, it speaks of these chains holding the prisoners’ heads in place;one can infer from the reading that this is metaphorical and really, it is just the prisoners’ own thoughts and feelings holding them back.

Taylor Maciulis Reynoso Advanced English November, 17th, 2013 Idolization kills When a person is looked up to day upon day, they begin to feel obligated to please those who are looking up at them. Taking a course of action to make others happy rather than yourself is a very noble course to take. Although it is very unselfish, it will not always be the most beneficial decision for the person to make in the end.
