Hello all! My English teacher has assigned a writing piece. To be more exact, an allegory. Allegory : An extended metaphor, in which objects, persons, and actions in a narrative, are equated with the meanings that lie outside the narrative itself. The underlying meaning has moral, social, religious, or political significance, and characters are often personifications of abstract ideas as charity, greed, or envy. Thus an allegory is a story with two meanings, a literal meaning and a symbolic meaning. I do not want anyone to write this for me, that is not what I am asking. I am simply asking for ideas on what to write my allegory on. Help would be much appreciated.
Thats what I thought. Oh, also. Examples of allegories are, Dr. Seuss', The Sneetches is an allegory for WW2, and the division between countries, when Hitler was ruling. Chronicles of Narnia is another, whereas Aslan was meant to be portrayed as God.
She is supposedly giving more info on the assignment tomorrow, so I will post here after class, and hopefully someone will have a few ideas.
