Why or why not?”. As you develop your essay make sure to that you provide sufficient support and explanation by integrating examples from both readings (“The Myth of the Cave,” by Plato and “The danger of a single story” by Chimamanda Adichie) throughout your essay.

When you cite directly from the readings, use proper MLA citation.
