The cave is place you don't want to be
Though some occupy that cave forever
your view of reality is severed
It is a dark place where you cannot see
Your view of the world is small in degree
You have no want for outside endeavors
Truly a place you want to go never
Escaping these mental chains is the key
Luckily for you there is a way out
You can choose to leave the confining cave
Knowledge is the answer to gain the truth
The light will give you answers beyond doubt
Choose your own path you don't need to be brave
Leave the cave and abandon the untruths

ReplyDeleteYour sonnet is clearly a "sonnet"; it has all the necessary characteristics that I can think of. And I think you did really well! I like the "Your view of reality is severed" part :)
ReplyDeleteI agree with Brenna, yours is definitely a sonnet! I like "The light will give you answers beyond doubt," it covers Plato's purpose of the allegory. Good job, Becky!
ReplyDeleteThis is clearly a sonnet, and I really enjoyed the flow of your sonnet, it has a very hopeful tone to it!
ReplyDelete(This is a bit of a combination comment) I like how peaceful your blog feels. Plus 3 of the 4 songs in your playlist I love too. Anyways, will you be going back and using your blog to study for finals?
Your "About Me" introduction really makes the visitor want to get to know you. Nice job on making the readers welcomed. My question to you is who do you think Plato wrote the allegory for? http://emarquezrhsenglitcomp.blogspot.com/

ReplyDeleteHow do you plan on studying for the final?

This clearly fits the characteristics of a sonnet and I liked it overall, especially the line "Escaping these mental chains is the key"

Your sonnet is definitely a Petrarchan sonnet! It is very well done. I like your emphasis on the state of mind of those in the cave, especially the line of "you have no want for outside endeavors" implying the concept I hadn't considered before that some people may prefer to only have the knowledge they do and not to try to expand that knowledge.
ReplyDeleteIn addition, you have done a fantastic job with your blog. It is eye-catching and the posts are up-to-date. What do you think is the main theme of Plato's allegory?

Great sonnet Becca! It follows the traditional layout and shows your understanding of the cave! Well done!
ReplyDeleteAs everyone else has said, I believe your sonnet is well a sonnet! You definitely described what the allegory of the cave meant and you were very descriptive in your approach to a sonnet.
