Charlotte was well-educated on the teaching of the literature more commonly, on the metaphor, for this reason it stimulated her passion for the love of metaphors. In fact, Charlotte thinks,”that Miss Hancock made the deepest mark upon me,”(Wilson,217), because of how exhilarating her momentum is when she educates her lovely pupils . Without delay, her preceptor made the entire class do an activity on writing a metaphor based on anything, as time passes she calls up Charlotte to decipher her extensive metaphor about her mother. Charlotte states,”My mother is a flawless, modern building, created of glass and the smoothest of pale concrete,”(219) meaning that her mom may seem flawless at first, but when examined more closely she is revealed to be unsympathetic and heartless. In that day, Miss Hancock paused Charlotte at the end of her class, before she proceeds to go home to inform her,’”if you need any help...with any other kind of problem, just let me know,’”(220) shows her sympathetic side of being caring, kind-hearted and compassionate.

One example of an allegory in The Phantom Tollbooth would be Tock. He is a watchdog that makes sure nobody wastes time. He has a big clock on the side of him and goes tick-tick-tick-tick-tick-tick.
Along with the novel being read as a political allegory it can also be a religious allegory because the novel mentions and talks about the Baptist missionaries. The Baptist missionaries have to deal with rejection from the Congolese people. The Congolese people rejected not only the religion, but also the Price family because they were white. Not only did the Price family face a struggle with the Congolese people, they also endured the same struggle everyone else did. They were constantly faced with disease and bugs such as

Allegories are stories that reveal a hidden meaning. ¨Things stand for other things on a one-for-one basis (Foster 98).¨ The next technique that was used as plot device. Weather never means weather.
The story hints to resemblance and principles from the Western (European) colonization and illustrates the power in which these people have. I believe the use of allegory emphasizes particular and temporary blindness and political/politics based amnesia. Marsden uses a particular and unique metaphor of colonization to demonstrate an ironic moral issue and also
The theme in the novel “All Fall Down”is not to judge people without knowing the full truth about them. One way the reader is led to the theme is by observing the conflict and resolution of the story. Another way the reader is led to the theme is by the authors use of figurative and descriptive language that makes the reader feel different feelings towards the scarred man. Finally, the character development helps lead us to the theme throughout the way Alli Carter makes people feel towards the main characters Grace and Dominic the Scarre Man. Ally carter’s novel “All Fall Down” displays the conflict of human vs self.
Allegory is a story that can mean something in a symbolic way or have meaning in a literal way.

The author Arther Miller uses the Salem Witch Trials as a symbolic story to his situation back around the Red Scare.
Throughout the story, the narrator continues to mention this image of him standing “[with] open arms” on a “cobbled street” in “a smoldering city” where he sees himself saving “a bundle of precious things [thrown] from a third-floor European window” that is Charlotte (189). The image of the “smoldering city” suggests an unfolding of some sort of disaster on a grand scale, perhaps a volcanic eruption or a war. The emphasis on the medieval aspects of the city, the “European window” and “cobbled streets” adds a fantastical sense to this image, suggesting that narrator is both exaggerating and romanticizing this relationship. Describing Charlotte as “a bundle of precious things” he happens to save, the narrator implies that he sees Charlotte as something special that only he can save because he is the person in the right place and time with “arms open” – accepting and willing to tolerate her faults. In introspection, the narrator claims that this vision is perhaps the result of having “watched too many films” (189), and suggests that he may have imagined himself of a hero of sorts who can save Charlotte from her eccentricities and anti-social behaviors.
However, before dissecting and analyzing the allegory used in Charlotte Temple, it is important to understand how allegory can be presented within a piece of literature. Gibbs, jr describes the view of allegory as, “A major focus of literary allegory is with human journeys in which people strive, and often struggle, to reach certain physical locations that are symbolically representative of abstract, sometimes religious or spiritual ideas” (Gibbs, Jr 15). Allegory is a literary device in which characters, settings, objects, and plots are used to reveal deeper meanings; writers are encouraged to convey themes and ideas in a more engaging and accessible way. Frank, Jr. describes allegory within characters as, “...characters and significant details are concrete and have a second meaning, that is, are symbols; and he will be told this is an allegory” (Frank, Jr.

The process of transition is detailed throughout the novel, allusions act as a major component in understanding the process and the fluctuating
Allegory is one of the that is hiding the meaning of a moral or a political one. Wherever there is a group of people, someone would eventually want the most power than the others.

Allegory- By the accordance my personal notes and knowledge, an allegory is a story in which the characters and events are symbols that stand for ideas about human life or for a political or historical standpoint. From my standpoint, the word allegory is connected to Lord of The Flies, a novel written by William Golding. (For more information on the book, see page twelve [12]) Just under the topic of an allegory, the novel can be perceived in multiple lights, with the top three beams being religion (see page eighteen [18]), the human brain (see page two [2]), and World War Two (see page twenty-three [23]). Under the haze of religion, the book is seen as an adventure of many boys and one prophet.
