This is my shout out to my friends and family, new, old and soon to come. An upcoming trip forced me to evaluate the state of modern communication and decide whether I want to subject you to endless e-mails or me to endless postcard purchases. I decided the happy medium is the choose your own adventure via the blogasphere. So, whoop here we are.
I love writing and have 20 years of journals to prove it, but I resist actually ever subjecting my prose to public comment. So give me feedback, send me your copy edits, make me better, but don't bite the hand that types for you.
That's an alliegory.
Just in case, you need a memory jog, an allegory (sans 'i') is:
a form of extended metaphor, in which objects, persons, and actions in a narrative, are equated with the meanings that lie outside the narrative itself. (I.E. Read between the lines) The underlying meaning has moral, social, religious, or political significance, and characters are often personifications of abstract ideas as charity, greed, or envy.Thus an allegory is a story with two meanings, a literal meaning and a symbolic meaning.
