The Allegory Of Life
The book tells the story of a knight who lives obsessed with showing that he is good, loving and generous. One of the problem that he has it was that he was wearing so much his armor that one day his family almost did not even recognize him. His wife was fed up and she told him to take it away, but he tried different possibilities to take it away first one was with the strongest man in the kingdom but no matter how much he tried he couldn’t at all, afterwards he decided to leave to find his king, but instead of him he met a buffoon, who told him that the only person who could help him was called “Merlin”.

This book inspired me a lot because I learned many things from it, if you can’t find yourself others can’t know you neither, because it is very difficult to know yourself better as you can. The only way that you can achieved is through meditation and for that you should spend a lot of time. In our company MOTION, in my view we should spend time to find our self-better, otherwise we will have problems in the way to understand people.
The book resembles the allegory of our life. We put something partially alien to us to win others: studies, appearances, clothes ... and we make them so connatural that they become a second skin. Nobody misses it because everyone has their own armor, carved for years. Until one day we have to remove it and it gives us fear to face reality.
Here I see a clear change from school to university, in school they gave you "almost everything" and in the university and especially in this degree (LEINN) you have to find yourself life “learning by doing”.
To sum up, I would say that this book is simple and quick to read, because the vocabulary is very current and easy to understand and the book is short so it is not heavy to read

    Some of the evnts displayed in this book really made you embarrased to be a human. How can there be so much hate between one kind. Black, White, Asian. Dewish, Christian, arabic. We are all the same, what you do to others you do to yourself. Humans are the most advanced creatures alive yet we can act like the most primative, and brutal of all. This was the outcome of one mans insanity, one extreme occultist, oblivious to reality, and lost in his own obsession of his perfect world.…

They knew it would be extremely hectic if they had more than one child with their spouse so they all had just one. 13 only child’s with 12 other cousins. Pretty smart if you think about it.

They all wanted more freedom! They wanted cell phones, later curfews, and more allowance money. They grew attitudes too. The parents knew they had no choice but to do to their…

    Alice in wonderland is an adventurous book full of mystery, conflicts, and surprisingly allegory. Alice goes through trails, revelations, and at one point even gets accused of “being the wrong Alice.” In this story, Alice believes that she is dreaming and having a weird one at that, but in reality she is not really dreaming. Alice is really trying to find herself and with that she is portraying the conflicts in her life through the world of wonderland. To me wonderland is just a dimension of realization and a way for Alice to find the answers to the questions that she needs. But will Alice realize this in time or will she go on through her “dream” without any realization at all? In Alice in wonderland there are many cases of allegory. The cases the i will be pointing out and defining in my own words are “The Rabbit Hole”, “Size and Growth”, and “The Looking - Glass.” In this essay i will explain my theories and definitions of the allegory in Alice in Wonderland.…
