The cave may not be the place to be
It is like a prison if you think about it.
If you are open minded you will see
That you are being sucked in like a mitt.
They are forced to stare at a wall
And see the shadows of those who know.
There is only one way to get out
You must want to leave and go
One has the courage to explore
You discover that it is great
And do not want to hold it it anymore
Your friends do not understand and you feel pain
Now you feel alone
Without a home.
Good job with your sonnet! It is kinda sad, but so is the Allegory!

Hello Eli, you did a nice job with your sonnet! The sad ending was a nice touch.
ReplyDeleteYour background is very nice and I like how simple and clean it looks. How do you plan on studying for the vocabulary final?

I liked your sonnet, and I like your blog theme! :) What book did your group decide to read? I really enjoyed your sonnet, and I like that you use tumblr for your blog instead of blogger. http://druckersrhsenglitcomp13.blogspot.com
ReplyDeleteGood job on your sonnet!
ReplyDeleteI absolutely love your background! how do you plan to study for the vocab final? here is a link to my blog http://rnolanrhsenglitcomp.blogspot.com/
One of the lines says "Their" and I think you meant *There. I really like your sonnet and how you say the cave is a prison and the prisoners are looking at the shadows of those who know.
ReplyDeleteOne line ways it it and I think you meant it in. Otherwise good job. I like how your blog represents what you like and your hobbies.
ReplyDeleteGood job on your sonnet dude! The last couple lines were a good ending. We do want to explore reality with others so we all have the same experience, but sometimes exploration is lonely, but the best thing we can do is let others know about what reality truly is to try to convince them.
ReplyDeleteYour sonnet is a bit somber but it's pretty good and I enjoyed it. I like how you made the blog your own and added your own personal touch to it!

Very sporty. Sport metaphors, sports background, its almost like you really enjoy baseball or something, I can't tell. *sarcasm* hahaha But in all seriousness the figurative language was awesome, there was a lack of rhyme scheme, but I feel like the last two lines still went together.. If this was a shakespearean sonnet. I like that it is very direct, "You are forced to stare at a wall" and "You must want to leave and go".
ReplyDeleteAnyways, I like that your blog is very attuned to your sports interests.
My question is did Charles Dickens like sports? What do you think?

The ending is sad, but it brings you back to reality much like the real allegory. Very well done! I appreciate the "mitt" reference that relates to your background.
ReplyDeleteHey I'm glad that you commented on my blog; hadn't ever visited yours before. Your blog is great! I like the font and layout, it makes it really simple and nice to read.
