1. You’re walking around in a tropical forest on your vacation in Thailand. As you trek through the
forest on the peaceful path, enjoying nature, you look down and seen an enormous snake moving in
the leaves nearby your feet. You immediately respond to the threat by jumping away hoping that
the snake doesn’t bite you. The snake, in reality, was not a snake at all and in fact was just a large
and discolored vine on the forest floor. If you walked up to the “snake” you would have realized
that it is plant life, and you hope that no body following behind you has seen what a fool you have
made out of yourself. However beneath the vines and leaves however there really is a massive
snake. Your had believed that you had seen a snake beneath your feet, and your claim is justified
because you believed to have perceived the snake through your vision, and it is in fact true that
there is a snake creeping beneath your feet. Despite your belief, justifications and claim, this
situation cannot be called knowledge since your knowledge was wrong, and it is just by chance that
your claim was true. This is a gettier case because the individuals claim fits the JTB equation however
it is not actually knowledge because the context is misleading and does not add up.
