Thinking Outside the Box

Plato and Sartre

To be totally honest I am not a philosophical thinker to further examen these allegories. English and philosophical thinking in general have never really been my thing. However I think both allegories did an amazing job at extended metaphors that really gets one to think the current world we live in.

For sure I know an Inez, an Estelle, and a Garcin in my life, or at least those with similar personalities. I know what it is like to see something no one else sees and being laughed at as well. Through different characters and ideas that you would never expect you see a lot of the story taking place as if you were living it.Or even if you have not been in that situation once you understand the meaning of an allegory you can really imagine it as if it was happening in the twenty first century.

Anyways I feel both allegories really made me do a reflection on life. What it is worth and how much it means. What there really is to live for and how sometimes we waste our life away being ignorant. I feel both allegories really carried that message and really could bring out the best and worst of lies in true reflecting metaphors.
