Or are the characters real‚ individual people‚ rather than being merely types/symbols? This is not in your own words...what’s up with that??? Of Mice and Men is a realistic fiction novel written

    The Odyssey Allegory The book The Odyssey by Homer is a way to show how people can face many challenges in their lives. For example‚ the cyclops named Prometheus could be an example of people trying to hurt you‚ or stop you on your journey. Lotus flowers could represent temptations‚ and Aeolus meant to represent fortune and luck in going to be where you want to go‚ and underestimating how fortunate you are at a certain time. It’s easy to mix life with fiction‚ but the Odyssey merges the two beautifully

As with all of the works that he included in The Republic‚ he is attempting to convey a message that relates to government and leadership. I also believe

    The Allegory of the cave says that there is quite a different between appearances and reality‚ and I think that this statement could not be truer. When I hear this I think of the “perfect” family. A stay at home mom‚ a working dad‚ a daughter on the honor roll‚ and a son on the football team. They all go to church on Sunday morning and are well involved in their community. Their family appears to be so perfect to everyone around them‚ but that’s just because no one knows their realities.
