WELP! Im really confused on how to write an allegory story

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Like on how to start it off

OpenStudy (anonymous):

a story, poem, or picture that can be interpreted to reveal a hidden meaning, typically a moral or political one.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yeah I know that part, but im writting about a reporter who accidenlty gives a false report would that be a allegory?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

that can be interpreted to reveal a hidden meaning, typically a moral or political one.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Does it have a hidden meaning?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Does it apply to what your writing about?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

The hidden meaning is he feels bad and he regrets on his report for scapegoating someone

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Here, Ill give you an example.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Plato’s allegory of the cave, located in Book VII of The Republic is one of the most famous allegories in which he has created. This simile touches base on a number of philosophical ideas which Plato developed over the progression of The Republic (Plato, G.M.A Grube, 1993), the most noticeable being the dividing line. The dividing line is the point between the world of ideas where we live and the world of the forms which is in the heavens. This allegory of the cave helps people understand the theory on which philosophy is based. It is also in this Book where the education of the guardians is outlined. We are asked in Book VII of The Republic to imagine a group of people sitting inside a cave, with their hands and feet bound. It is by this that we can decipher that these people did not ask to be in the cave but are merely prisoners. By being chained they are only able to observe what is in front of them, unable to fully see their surroundings or the people who reside in the cave with them.
