At New Melones, the water level dropped less than a foot last week and the water temperatures are beginning to cool, averaging 70 to 74-degrees. Boat launching off Glory Hole Point still requires 4-wheel drive. The lake has had very little boat traffic or fishing pressure. John Liechty, of Glory Hole Sports, states that during the next couple of months the trout bite should improve as the water cools and the fish move up from deeper water and closer to shorelines, in search of shad minnows which will move toward creek arms. If and when it rains, the fresh water will wash nutrients into the lake and help to oxygenate the water.

The book that I have opted to read over the summer was, The Trap, by John Smelcer. Before reading the book, I thought the book may have been about a young boy and his grandfather that always kept checking his trap lines in Alaska. Although according to the book many old men about his age had stopped checking their trap lines. I was thinking that maybe the boy's grandfather might run into some trouble as he went to check on them. After reading the previous chapter and hearing that Albert Least Weasel had gotten his foot stuck in his own trap started troubles for Albert.

The "Modern Hunter-Gatherer" by Michael Pollan, is an article about a new hunter's perspective on the new experiences that he encountered before and after his hunt. In the article he touches on how he found a thrill in hunting and how he was more in touch with nature than he had ever been.

Hunting is an activity and life skill in some cases that was necessary in the times where hunters and gatherers were prominent in the Earth.
The cave as a whole represents the visible realm. In the dialogue, the prisoners are chained so that they can only see what is in front of them and being depicted on the wall. “They’ve been there since childhood, fixed in the same place, with their necks and legs fettered, able to see only in front of them,” (514b). A prisoner is freed and dragged outside the cave,
Why do so many people not believe in sensational subjects such as bigfoot? Because such a huge animal like that would surely at least leave some evidence behind, and then there's the fact that there can't just be one bigfoot or mythical creature everyone claims to see. There would theoretically have to be more than one. Although we all might like to believe in the possibility of such creatures, why would you actively believe that there are mythical beings out there without proof? Although there are some people that are quite naive and will easily believe such things without any proof whatsoever.
The room is described by the narrator as “a filthy cocoon” that “took you in and hold you close” (190). The image of a cocoon implies a sense of comfort, a covering that is both snug and protective. Yet, it is also isolating, disconnecting one from the outside world, and is difficult to break free from. Furthermore, this cocoon is “filthy”, filled with “rubbish” and where one loses track of time since there are “no clocks and [watches are] lost and buried” (190). It seems as if this cocoon clutches onto everything not even garbage and time can escape.
In Brave New World, Aldous Huxley presents us with a Dystopian society, for as we read, there is a revelation of the true nature of the society. The basis of Plato’s Allegory of the Cave is that the shadows in which the trapped conformists see are the flawed reflections of ideal forms, such as beauty. Within the society of Brave New World, the entire population appears perfect for they are manufactured to be that way, therefore, the ‘outsiders’ appear as the flawed reflections of their ideal forms, which is present in the Allegory of the Cave, as well as other similarities. Within the trapped society in the World State and Plato’s cave, there is a general origin of knowledge, since birth.

“The Beast in the Cave”, a short story written by notorious horror author, H.P. Lovecraft, chills readers to the bone as they drink in the rich imagery created by Lovecraft’s twisted mind. As the audience is immersed into the narrator’s world, a dark, claustrophobic cave, they feel the same horror and panic as the main character. How are they going to get out of that cave?

The state of most human beings is depicted in this myth of the cave and the tale of a thrilling exit from the cave is the source of true understanding. Plato has portrayed the concept of reality and illusion through the allegory of the cave.
