Construct an essay (around 5-7 paragraphs)!!. Your aim in each case will be to prove that you are right with respect to the meaning of the material. This means you will need a thesis statement and then you will prove this claim.
Aim to make your thesis clear and persuasive to someone outside of this class. Think of an intelligent friend who may not have studied this material when explaining. Then, think of someone who knows the material and the arguments very well when you think about how to prove your claims.
In Plato’s Republic, Socrates models education on the previous discussion of the divided line. Why does Socrates take the divided line to help us understand how education should take place? In your essay, you will want to both explain and give an argument for the model of education that Socrates presents. You will also need to show how the divided line informs the allegory of the cave.
