Once upon a time, there was a cave. A cave up in the mountains, surrounded with water and earth. The mountain was old, as old as the world when it first emerged from the primordial waters and fire, which had too came from something else. Somewhere out in the infinite chasm known as the cosmos — but that was irrelevant.
The cave was younger.
Just a bit less than the mountain..
The cave sat on the side of the mountain, under a rocky cliff.
And in the cave, there was nothing. No life, no strange divinity, no eldritch powers lurking about. It was but a simple cave, formed by water and the years, just like the other millions upon the earth.

From outside the cave, the Ancient Ones gathered all forms of life, seeds from trees and critters from the ground. They gathers the water and earth, enriched with the Sun and Moon’s first rays through the heavens.

The tree grew quickly, much quicker than any other other tree should be. Most trees would feed upon the earth, water and sun to live — but this tree grew in a strange fashion. The hardy bark would glow in the darkness like the radiant Sun itself, the leaves would shimmer like the gentle moonlight. Under the grand tree, blades of grass grew, the critters flourished on its sap and fruit. From under it’s roots, water gushed out like a mighty river, bringing forth the endless torrent of life.
It was a tree unlike any other.
A tree that encompassed the small world that was the cave, sheltering all that was within.
With pride and joy, the leader of the Ancient Ones who planted the seed named the tree and the cave,
People today can look at the cave art or even the sculptures and see how they lived and interpreted things. And they can appreciate the creations that were left. As well as the evidence left helps scholars interpret what they were and then explain to today’s world about what happened and how people lived a million years ago.

Trees represent life because they aren’t simple, trees are large and strong, their roots are in the ground and its leaves sway in the sky. At first, Melinda’s life was as solid as the tallest tree in the world, the Hyperion. “This was the girl who suffered though Brownies with me, who

Imagine yourself sitting inside a dark, damp, cave where the only thing you can see are moving shadows on the cave wall in front of you. You can’t move anywhere or see anything besides the shadows, and these are the only things you’ve seen for your entire life, so these moving dark images are the most real things you’ve ever known. At some point in our childhood we were mentally in this state of darkness, we didn’t know anything about the world or have any complex thoughts. How then, were we brought out of our caves of darkness and misunderstanding? The Allegory of the Cave is a well known section of Plato’s

“The meaning of the cave isn't lying on the surface of the novel. Rather, it waits somewhere deep, and part of what it requires of us is to bring something of ourselves to the encounter. If we want to figure out what a symbol might mean, we have to use a variety of tools on it: questions, experience, preexisting knowledge (Foster 106-107).” This passage is referring to dive deep into thought about what a symbol really stands for. In this case a cave, the cave is more than just an underground chamber inside the Earth. It’s a place of our ancestors, of darkness, and of mystery. In the novel A Passage to India, the caves have different meanings for everyone. The meaning of a cave means one thing for Mrs. Moore , but a whole different thing for
In the cave I was shocked with how beautiful it was on the inside. The caves I have visited have never looked this neat. When we first saw the inside we see that there were these crystal icicle looking things all over the place and they looked really clean compared to other caves that I have
In Plato’s “Allegory of the Cave”, Plato and his student contemplate the idea of cave dwellers who are confined to life inside of the cave. They wonder what would happen if one of the cave dwellers became enlightened by stepping out into the world outside of the cave. When the enlightened cave dweller returned to tell the others about his discovery, the philosophers speculated that those in the cave would be in complete denial and may even go as far as to kill the enlightened cave dweller.
The cave is underground and dark; it consists of human beings who have been living down there since childhood. These people are almost like prisoners since
At the beginning of Book Seven, in an attempt to better describe the education of the philosopher Socrates begins to set up an analogy with an ascent and descent into “the cave”. In Socrates’ cave analogy there was a group of people who were from childhood held in a dimly lit underground cave. The people were kept there in bonds that were designed to allow them to only what was in front of them by depriving them of the ability to turn their heads around. Also present in Socrates’ cave was a certain wall or partition separating the prisoners from another group of people who simply walked along a path carrying statues shaped after all that of beings and occasionally uttering sounds as the others remained quiet. The shadows of the statues
