See title.
Recording is a bane of mine,
I take it as a happy sign.
I would not do it any day,
I would not do it to get pay.
Not any day within my house,
I would not record with a cutesy mouse.
Not today or tomorrow, or any other day,
to this assignment I must say;
This is silly! No freken way!
I have no audio recording capabilities and thusly have read it in: 7 min. 43 sec. With more mistakes than a vocally impaired donkey.

practice essay
Socrates, in the Allegory of the Cave was an inquisitive person. He fit the axiom Plato set for a free thinker and avid learner If faces with an external stimulus that would outrage some, he may have looked at it with a philosophical, un-biased eye and come to a different conclusion based on truth. Garcin from No Exit is similar, except he would be more accepting of the entropy than either Inez or Estelle. Garcin would take in the situation and try to overcome it more less to prove his worth.
Both Plato's view of Socrates and Sartre's character Garcin are neutral in beliefs until they create their own standings on a topic. Their standings may not be the same, but both individuals have expressed the ability to argue and come to a just solution to any outer presence. Both Sartre and Plato are believers of change and constructing of individual beliefs, and as such, their characters are extensions of their own views.
In the face of a questionable situation, Socrates would be inquisite at the nature of the chaos or injustice in the environment, as such, Plato shows his own views on truth as he would write Socrates to find the whole truth before being compelled to make a decision on its nature. His ultimate decision would be based on how much logical truth is applied to either side of an argument. This is what Plato learned from his mentor, and what he wants to show his mentor as.

Allegory of The Cave Sonnet
Oh struggle of poems! When one has faltered;
Look to the freedom of your own imagination.
When lost in the shadows that shroud ingenuity,
Find the key to release your mind's shackles.
Mental liberation awaits the prepared and willing.
You simply shall will the liberation you desire;
The constriction of your mind will loosen indefinitely.
Poetic verse may blend and convolute,
The shadows of doubt are blinding;
Don't be distracted with false truth.
The tide of words are echoes;
Let the truth guide your mind.
Narcissus fell to their sirens call;
You decide truth, truth decides you.
As a novice, I decided to create the first 7 lines as octets, and the remaining 7 sestets. Please correct me if that was improper form.

A Brain With a Few Decent Legs
Our table group of Ashley, Bianca, Daniel, and Lisa got organized primarily by choosing a book we were not biased for and had little personal experience with, but when we found out a member of our group had their own copy of A Tale of Two Cities and we all followed their lead in choosing the book. more likely than not, we will probably collaborate via desk chatting and probably a group, or messaging on Facebook. Someone will probably make an unarguable date to have it read and there will most likely be no objections. (lets be honest here)

Alligory of the Cave Questions
1. The Allegory of the Cave is, according to Socrates, is the tarp that holds people in the dark. It is the unknown presence that keeps the people in their little ruts and niches that also represses the desire to experience your own life. It's a lie, but it is also your truth. It is what you know and cannot escape, or simply don't want to escape.
2. There were sharp juxtaposition between ideas. Government which is used to promote free will (or supposed too) is used to be shackles holding society together. In a few words; dark, but not, not comforting.
3. The allegory implies a sort of bias, or tunneling of vision in the course of education, so you are biased to one belief or another, unless of course, the subject cannot be subjected to bias. Ex: mathematics.
4. Shackles and bindings imply the prisoners are held in a terrible way. They are viewed as animals and more than that, are incapable of their own functions. This develops dependance on something of comfort. Like the information you see as true.
5. Comforts we establish on our own are what shackle our mind. We try to fit in, and we build walls to ideas or perspectives we may not have been opposed too with an open mind.
6.The free prisoner was incredulous and effervescent at the discovery of the something after wall. The prisoners on the other hand were un-accepting and did not want to confide to anything beyond what they knew.
7. The allegory shows confusion can occur in both the presence of something new, or something revealing its true nature despite what you expected of it from the past.
8. The prisoners are free as soon as they accept they are being mentally detained. In the words Emancipate yourselves from mental slavery, none but ourselves can free our minds! by Bob Marley, this shows that they are mentally as well as physically released when they accept their confines.
9. Defiantly. Perception is the middle man of reality and thought. What happens between an action and what people see is what makes it illogical to trust an eye witness in an investigation. Emotions and bias convoluted the truth.
10. One could be the metaphor that the truth an individual brings is scorned from a group, no matter what truth it may hold. Another can be that an we are all slaves to our own weaknesses.

WE HANG TOGETHER (stream of thought)
Alliance is common and in most cases mutual. It is understood to be necessary and, in some circumstances, unavoidable.
There is little overall control and most decisions are made in a joint operation.
There is a major difference between alliance and interdependance.
Interdependence: mutual agreement on benefits to working together. Little willingness involved.
Alliance: willing joining of resources to better as a group. Usually optional.
In interdependence, there is usually a dominance struggle.
No such struggle in alliance.
Corporate commandos common in conceptual creativity of companies.
Ethics in business sucks and are destroying companies.
Ethics in business sucks and are destroying companies.

All parties must agree to a set of general rules.Marketing rules and copyrights can be set to prevent "cheating".

Remix Hamlet Essay For Dummies (because I'm a dummy who cant remix)
I'm going to dumb down the main points of the essay because I don't know how to remix! Yay!
Shakespeare loves using concrete details to solidify His meanings, but he also throws in abstract terminology for the sake of double entendres and the occasional illusion to biblical references or big ideas of the time period. The correlation between what a character says and does shows the innermost mind and values of said character. This can create a deeper understanding of a charecter.
Hamlet uses the words he says to determine what he is like, as an anchor for his personality. Claudius on the other hand does not solidify his alliance to his words, and the use of his abstract venom to the ears of the listeners makes him a target for disrespect.
In all simplicity, Shakespeare was trying to get the most bang for his buck in the word department. He would use concrete language when Hamlet made vows, and abstract language when Claudius made.. whatever he made, to deepen the audiences understanding of the characters. From here I was in a sad mood and decided to write depressingly about the Hamlet graveyard scene and sort of rambled.... whoopsie!
