1. Compare and contrast what Socrates says in “The Simile of the Cave” with Fahrenheit 451. How are characters like Mildred similar to characters in “Simile of the Cave”?
A: The reason that the charecters in the cave and Mildred are the same is because they always believe what they are told. They are afraid of figuring out the truth of what is really going on the world. Both of these people are under the control "The Man" or the government because they are afraid of speaking their minds or to go against them. One difference is that the people in the cave actually tried to come out but they were afraid and overwhelemded by what was realy going on. Mildred keeps going on with her life and doesn;t even think.
