what does allegory mean?

I get it now. got help from site using examples and teacher email.

 

good place to start:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Allegorical

 

It means a story that has a lot of blood and guts. Like, "Evil Dead 2, man, what an allegorical film!"

Hope this helps.

 

I think Allegory is how Italian people say the name of one of our Vice Presidents...

 

Platos allegory of the caves...bring that in as a comparasion and you'll get a great grade. It just means like what the story represents, it has an obvious meaning and then like a moral or parabolic meaning kinda...does that make sense?
What book did you read?

 

metophorical-not parabolic...sorry so long since I took philosophy or english ):

 

...

 

yah well I guess I was just having a tough time applying it to a book I was reading. we all have a tough time with something okay?

don't act like you don't!

 

I never said I don't have a hard time with school every now and then... I just usually struggle through it on my own *shrugs* no idea which is the better solution. Take nothing I say seriously, I'm too angry for anything I say to matter to anyone.

 

oh its fine sorry if I seemed on the defense. I tend to go it on my own and rarely even email teachers but this semester has been an odd one for me. oh well
