Unknown,
unreal, unclear
Living with
so much fear.
Darkness
forever in the cave,
Hope is the
last thing it gave.
The shadows
were seen,
And many
believed it was reality.
The shackles
and the cave suggests that the world is imperfect,
And the
prisoners thought life was not worth it.
But then
came the light ,
Shinning so
bright.
The fire
came,
And illuminated
their brains.
Now the
reality is shown,
And never
will it be unknown.
Great job the sonnet expressed the whole meaning behind plato's Allegory of the cave
ReplyDeletea) It's a sonnet.
ReplyDeleteb) It's creative and effective. You made your point that you wanted the audience to interpret.
I think you did a good job on this. However just curious as to what style of sonnet this is? The reason is because you rhymes are great I just did the Shakespeare way with Iambic pentameter and ABAB rhymes. Anyways great job!
ReplyDeleteReally great diction in this sonnet and you definitely did a good job of capturing the metaphysical aspects of the cave.
ReplyDeleteI like how it made a point but I agree with dulce about the sonnet structure
ReplyDeleteI like how clear and to the point it is. My favorite two verses are:
ReplyDelete"Unknown, unreal, unclear
Living with so much fear." Really like it and the alliteration that you used made it even more effective :)
Awesome rhyming scheme Elizabeth, the beginning was almost a rap! good job!
ReplyDeleteI have to agree with Hayden i thought you were going to rap:p I like your ideas and how you structured it. Great rhyming!
ReplyDeletei agree with Katelyn. the rhyme scheme is awesome. i really like the message you gave. goodjob :)

ReplyDeleteIt is a sonnet and great use of the setting I felt like I was really there
ReplyDeleteYou did a nice job expressing the more thematic side to the allegory instead of what I did where I address more the plot. Good Job!
ReplyDeleteThe sonnet explained the whole allegory and them some. Good Job!
ReplyDeleteGreat job Liz! This summarizes the allegory perfectly and flows very well! Good work!
ReplyDeleteThe sonnet explained the allegory in a fashionable manner. Great Job!
ReplyDeleteVery simple however it portrayed the allegory very well. I have to agree with troy it definitely made me feel as though I was there. Way to go homie
ReplyDeleteI loved how you started it off! Very original. Good job!
ReplyDeleteRemember that the sonnet also has to be written in iambic pentameter, the pattern of 10 syllables. Very short, but that is not necessarily bad. I really enjoyed the simple point of view that showed your deep understanding in just a few words. I could see that the metaphysical thoughts from our class discussions helped for the moral of the sonnet.
ReplyDeleteSimple, but straight to the point. Nice job!
ReplyDeleteI like the line "illuminated their brain" great visual. However the rhyming scheme is off. It should be abab cdcd efef gg. Could you comment on my sonnet as well please?
ReplyDeleteThe sonnet flows really well and the rhyming is great!
ReplyDeleteIf you could comment on mine too that would be great:)
Very simple but you got your point across. I thought it flowed very nicely! Great Job Liz!
