Allegory of the Caves

I got an A on my philosophy paper and I am really happy. Now that I know that this paper is not crap I would like to post the part of it about The Allegory of the Caves. This is in The Republic by Plato, and I really do not like Plato’s philosophy that much but I liked this so here it is:
The Allegory of the Caves begins with four people tied up in a horizontal line of chairs facing a wall, and they can not see each other. These people have been looking at nothing but this wall their entire lives, and one day they start to see shadows on this wall. They begin creating theories and discussing what these shadows can be. Eventually, one of the people becomes untied and is blinded by the light. In this story blinded is more along the lines of dazzled; but this person has never seen light so his eyes are not use to it and slowly begins to see. He begins to walk and the cave proceeds to slope upwards, and he sees a low wall. There are people walking back and forth on the wall carrying different man made articles with shining light behind them. This is what is causing the shadows on the walls, because this person realizes that as the people move so do the shadows. He walks past the walls and sees a fire, not a small fire but a big fire like a bonfire. This person comes to think that it is not just the people making the shadows; it is the light from the fire creating the shadows. This person continues up the slope in the cave and sees light from the entrance. This person is overwhelmed by the sun, and blown away by the colors and the shapes that are outside of the cave. He realizes that the sun is allowing him to see everything. He realizes what is in the cave is some fictional story and what is out of the cave is real. After all this joy, this person becomes angry because he has been in a cave his entire life and has not been able to experience the world outside of the cave. Soon he experiences feelings of pity, so he goes back into the cave to get the other prisoners and tells them about the shadows and what is outside the cave. However, the people do not believe him and get angry. Socrates is supposed to be this person in this allegory. He is trying to bring the people to light, which symbolizes knowledge, but they will not allow him to. The shadow images are supposed to represent the categories of imagination, and knowledge is the light.
