Allegory Sonnet
Since infancy, two people have be secluded
neither knows what it is like
the only indication are the shadows
how they would enjoy seeing other things
the wish, eventually granted
but, only one is able to go
he needs time, but learns the ways of the world
he becomes too accustomed with this new life
No longer relatable to his fellow cave member
they can not view things in the same light
one knows actual objects
the other no clue what the first is talking about
could a few moments of freedom change so much?
And lead to corruption
Good job Jose, it didn't really rhyme but it flowed very well.
ReplyDeleteYour last word in each line are supposed to rhyme with like a,b,a,b but good job on trying to place the imagery of this individual not being able to get his point across his fellow cave members.
ReplyDeleteYour blog is great with some Righetti Pride as your background! I like how the archive is on the right column which helps viewers see all your post on one page. How do you plan to study for the final?

Good job on your sonnet even though it didn't rhyme it was still really good.
ReplyDeleteI really love the warrior pride background for your blog! How do you plan to study for the vocab final? Here is a link to my blog http://rnolanrhsenglitcomp.blogspot.com/
Wow, I actually really like how you wrote about the allegory from the perspective of two prisoners, instead of Plato's indefinite number. It brings a lot more humanity and emotion to the prisoner who was left behind. Great job :)
ReplyDeleteI agree and disagree with Danny-- yes, it's supposed to rhyme, but the pattern is ABBA ABBA for Petrarchan. I did some extra research on the different rhyme schemes for a post on my blog, if you're interested in reading it.
How are you going to choose what to do for your final presentation?
