A bed merely means a place to sleep in. A pile of straw in a stall is a bed, properly regarded. The rule was against sheets, which are a human invention. We have removed the sheets from the farmhouse beds, and sleep between blankets. And very comfortable beds they are too! But not more comfortable than we need, I can tell you, comrades, with all the brainwork we have to do nowadays. You would not rob us of our repose, would you, comrades? You would not have us too tired to carry out our duties? Surely none of you wishes to see Jones back?"

  • "That was our mistake, comrade. For we know now--it is all written down in the secret documents that we have found--that in reality he was trying to lure us to our doom."

Allegory Story

Once upon a time there where to kingdoms parted by great water. In the middle of the great water was a gigantic tower as high as the eye could see. In this tower on the highest flaw, lived a princess named Lio. She was the most beautiful woman in the whole world and she was much sought after. But because she was in the tallest tower in the very middle of the great water no one even thought about trying to get her down. In the two rival kingdoms there lived two princes Addam Sushien lived in one palace and Gregor Hubs in the other. At the age of ten they were both sent to the same boarding school to further their education. They became very close until they found out that they came from apposing kingdoms. After that they became very competitive with everything they did, if one got a girlfriend the other had to go and find a prettier one, if one got a dog the other had to get a bigger one et cetera. they got older and older and yet they still competed in everything. Many thought that as they got older they would grow out of this childish attitude. But they didn’t. They both graduated top of their class with the same grades in very subject, for it seemed no matter how much they competed with each other neither one of them was able to win. When they got home to their own castles, they looked across the great water and imagined the other having more than them, and then a thought struck them both at the same time. LIO. ‘That is how I will beat him’ they thought. ‘I will have the most beautiful wife in all the land’. So they both started plotting how they would rescue their fair princess. After months of preparations both princes set off to rescue unsuspecting Lio. As her castle was in the very middle of the great water they reached the palace at the same time! As the princes saw each other they were both overcome with rage. So they fought. Addam Sushien bombed Gregor’s ship and Gregor sent in his armed forces. They fought for years and years and no one won despite their efforts. Both princes died in action. Proving that jealousy doesn’t solve anything but ends in death and destruction, and in the end neither prince got what they desired.

Writers Commentary

uswell i got my inspiration from Tricia actually so mine is based on the same war on terror as she did but hopefully its not the same and if it is I'M SORRY TRICIA.

anyway my story is written in the fairytale style, because that's the only allegory stories ms. Wilson showed us so. so the style is simple and very direct so when your reading it you don't have to think hard about it. my story starts off with 'once upon a time' because i found it fitting that it should start that way if i wanted it to be a fairytale. it also starts with the same basic overview of the two rival castles and tells you of the beautiful princess.

i used anagrams to hide the meaning of my inspiration. but ill make them obvious now in this commentary.
George bush-Gregor hubs
Saddam Husein-Addam Sushien
Oil-Lio

i used these to show how the two princes (George bush and Saddam Husein) used Lio (oil) as just one more excuse for their unnecessary rival, they had just one more excuse to fight with one another and in the end it doesn't solve anything.

I used them going to boarding school and fighting over petty things just in a smaller scale as a kind indicator of how war is just a little boys game only people get really badly injured and many die. i wanted to show how juvenile it was.

i used this story because it happened in our generation we all know about the war on terror and the war in Iraq. its something everyone can relate to. people only a couple of years older than us are going to war and 'dying for their country' but their governments don't care just as long as they come out on top. the soldiers the working men and woman are dying for no cause their dying because of their governments greed and a stupid child rivalry to be better than the other.
