1. Well when Neo was in the blog he didn't know any better, which parallels with the man in the cave he never new any better, he didn't know there was an outside world at all. Also in the Matrix Neo never new any different until they brought him out of his fluid sac, and picked him up in their hover craft.
2. Reality is basically a fluid concept because you can really make it out to be whatever you want it to be. We say things are real when we can see, smell, taste, and feel, but what about air we cant feel it or taste it so how dose that come in to play with reality.
3.Yes in certain ways the matrix dose parallel our lives in 2008, it seems that all the technology has lessened our value on life, and somewhat our morals seem to have decreased a little. It also seems we are a lot less social now that we have the internet, to do talking and messaging.

Graham Luber Allergor writing The cave
1. To me the allegory represents that as human beings we see what we want to see. We can shape reality, to fit it as we please, and as long as we are comfortable with ourselves. Also that we are blind to the truth until it hits us in the face then it will change our perspectives.
2. Socrates is trying to say that the truth will change reality, for us as human beings were sometimes selfish and want everything to work for us. And with reality we can make it however we want it.
3. Well basically if you are learned one way, during your life and then you are showed you are a different way you would never know it was right. Basically you can go along life thinking your way is the right way until your corrected.
4. Basically they can give us a guide of lessons or morals, they can teach us things that modern day stuff can't teach us. Such as technology.

Graham Luber Comparison Blog.
Upon comparing the The Miller's tale and The Knight's Tale, they both seem to have some common points. Love, greed, jealousy, are all important aspects too these stories. In the nights tale you had two knights Arcita and Palamon who were cousins. They ended up fighting each other to win over the girl called Emily. The story ends in the death of one cousin,(Chaucer lines:693-696) "O Sire, what need for more ado? We have deserved our deaths at the hands of you. Two woeful wretches are we, two captives That are encumbered by our own sad lives;". Both stories were really arbitrary the way the end. Such as in the Miller's Tale these three men are all after the same woman, and she is very callow because she is young. She likes to mess around with their heads which isn't good because it ends up in result with the town thinking her husband is mentally insane. Basically these two teach morals about being in love and what are the consequences that can come from obsession. With these stories they have a contiguous flow about what messages they teach about the seven deadly sins.
