An allegory is a story, poem or a picture that can be made to reveal a hidden meaning. Usually the hidden meaning is a moral of the story, a lesson.

Some books you may enjoy (which are allegories) are --

° Pilgrim's Progress by John Bunyan

° Animal Farm by George Orwell

(Animal Farm is my favorite one! It really does have a lesson in it!)

(I would've added another book, but Brainly says it contained swear words so I couldn't add it! I'll try to add it into the comments.)

If you have a library nearby or a school library you could go to, you should definitely pick up one of these books, if you want to see an allegory in action! :)

svp [43]

The thesis statement is the one regarding the use of the story by O. Henry to show that poverty cannot affect true love becuase it expresses the gist of what O. Henry has wished to convey.  While Jim sells his beautiful pocket watch in order to buy Della a brooch for her beautiful long hair, Della sells her hair so as to be able to afford a chain for Jim's pocket watch. Thus, their material gifts are rendered useless, but still each has proved to the other that they would rather give up their most prized possessions in order to please the other, and by doing so prove their mutual love. This discovery is the true gift that they both receive from the Magi on tht Christmas day.

PLEASE HELP!!! Read the excerpt from Act III, scene i of Romeo and Juliet. Mercutio: No, ’tis not so deep as a well, nor so wide
Evgen [1.6K]

Answer: The right answer is A) Mercutio’s death.

Explanation: In this excerpt, the moribund yet still witty Mercutio is announcing Romeo his imminent death, as he has been stabbed by Tybalt in order to defend Romeo's honor. His wound, he says, is neither deep like a well nor wide like the door of a church, but "enough" to end with his life. He then curses the two families for their disagreements, fiercely criticizes Tybalt for having attacked him, and for how he has done it, and finally reprimands Romeo for having gotten in the way.
