Also in the testimony before the House Committee on the Public Lands on June 1913, Pinchot also stated that “the national park will be visited by a very large number of  people who cannot visit them now” (Pinchot and Raker).

Despite Plato’s introduction of the Cave Allegory occurring sometime between 380 and 360 B.C., it is still analyzed by modern philosophers who attempt to narrow down and explain some of the broad statements made by Plato. In addition to this research, it has also become clear that many modern films display many of the same messages through metaphors in which someone has developed a misconception regarding reality.
