One of the factors that may influence that way that the speaker sees the enemies is because of the starlight scope. He describes them as being “What looks like/ one step into the trees” which tells us that in the eyes of the speaker the enemy may as well be standing right in front of him. Now human nature makes it easy to judge someone from a distance, but as soon as that person is it up close it makes it immensely difficult for one to say or do anything to that person. This seems to be no different in war for now that the speaker can make out the faces of his enemies he seems much more hesitant to pull the trigger.

The film showcased Gordie’s thoughts and growth with his friends. From his exterior of a young lad, wimpy and afraid, he had managed to mature in to an independent and confident individual. In the beginning of the film, he had been described, by himself, as a weird guy, since he wasn’t like his late brother, who was the favorite. He loved writing and was good at it, but the unfortunate reality he was in was comparison from his parents, who would rather have a popular kid with ‘normal’ friends later, made him diss his own passion. And this practice developed and later on gave him enough fright to accept his invisibility.

In Plato’s essay, “Allegory of The Cave” Plato creates a story about three prisoners in a cave, through this he further makes his point that without knowledge our view of the truth is askew. Plato explains that the three hostages have been shackled in the dark cave their whole lives unable to see the real world. The only piece of actuality they can see are shadows of people crossing in front of the opening of the cave. These figures can drive anyone insane without having any real truth to what the images could be. Without any awareness of the real world just outside of the cave they are forced to adapt and therefore accept their own reality. Plato goes on to say that, “the truth would be literally nothing but the shadows of the images” (122). The obscurities are significant because they are the only apprehension the prisoners have, they have nothing to compare it to. The actuality of it to the captives is something other than the truth would be outside of the cave. The forms on the wall are only just shadows, but to them that is everything they have ever known. Plato through his legend portrays

Men in Golconde are motionless, floating in the sky, trapped and without a way to escape. Most people lack the willpower and motivation to achieve their dreams and take what they want from the world, or give value to the world, ignoring that the only limit to what they can do is set by themselves. The windows in Golconde are closed, meaning how nobody is watching the fallacy they are living in and how nobody will help them escape. This idea is like Plato’s Allegory of the cave, where men are prisoners in a cave, having their heads and limbs fixed so they only can see the wall in front of them. They have been in the cave since they were children and they do not know more than what they have learned from the shadows produced by fire behind them, they do not know that behind the fire is sunlight, and an entire world full of wonders waiting to be discovered. For the majority of people this cave where they are prisoners is their culture, and the way for them to be liberated is by knowledge, curiosity an urge to escape the world of relative ignorance where we feel comfort, although is difficult and even painful to escape. At the end, one of the prisoners is liberated and manages to turn around and see, but the light of the fire is too bright, he finds it difficult to overcome but he persists and eventually his eyes get adjusted to see the sunlight behind the flames, he walks out and still in pain, he observes all the detail of the new things surrounding him, the breeze, smells and his shadow, close to him is a river and he manages to see for the first time the true himself. We can be whatever we want to be, as Walt Whitman claims in his poem Song of Myself “I am of old and young, of the foolish as much as the wise. Regardless of others, ever regardful of others” (492). In other words, we are an essence that can be molded into anything, just as the prisoner of the

There was this beautiful young woman named Gorgophone. As unattractive as her name was, her face was delicate. She looked as if she wasn’t a local in Greece, for she had exotic looking skin and hair. Her hair was raven black and very silky. It tousled down past her waist and smelled like cherry blossoms. Her olive skin was soft and look flawless. Lastly, her face was something else. Her eyes slanted upwards, an almost cat-like appearance and the irises were of a crystalline blue. It was like you were peering into the Caribbean Ocean. No woman in all of Arcadia could compare to that of Gorgophone.

Some of his most well-known transformations are those of the “flea, fly, giantess, salmon, seal, and bird” (McLeish, par. 2). He uses these transformations for various reasons, such as “to benefit others”, “to trick them”, and “to save his own butt” (McLeish, par. 2).

In this scene they are able to look at the fire and the statues directly. This causes them pain after only being able to see shadows. After their sight becomes clear they now come to the understanding of how the shadows are created and now the statues and fire are the most real things in the world.

In the Allegory of the Cave there are chained prisoners in cave who can only stare at the cave wall in front of them. At the back there is a long entrance with a staircase the width of the cave and a fire burning in the distance. They see only shadows projected in front of them from a raised platform and hear an echo that they attribute to what they observe. They talk about and name the shadows of objects they see before them. To them the truth are the shadows. Then one day one of the prisoners is released. He is told that what he saw before was an illusion. Once he is outside it takes a while for his eyes to adjust to the sun. First he observed the shadows of thing then their reflection and finally the actual object. Remembering his previous state he goes back to the cave and tries to explain that everything is an illusion but they laugh at him and think he’s crazy. They believe it best not to ascend and they choose to remain as they are. The cave represented opinion. The shadows that are cast on to the wall represented physical objects. The prisoners represented the common people (Welles).

His creations however were very different. This unbelievable, extraordinary man created a new species of humans called the superiors.

The superiors have three tiers, each one more dangerous yet rarer than the last. The tier one superiors (Kens) have iced red eyes and purple flames fanned out from their crooked smiles. These superiors were most common and had poison tipped talons and large canine fangs. The second tier superiors (Ryus)
