“And down you go, Dr. Nebula!” My imaginary best friend Emily and I shouted, watching my arch-nemesis fade into the darkness. This was the resolution of the latest of my grand adventures with Emily, in which we plotted our escape from Dr. Nebula’s evil lair of brussels sprouts and malevolent bumper cars. We began by acquiring knowledge; we scoured the Library of Evil on a treacherous adventure to locate books on Dr. Nebula’s weaknesses. Then, we armed ourselves with the magic of kindness,…

An allegory is a palpable representation of an idea or theory in a direct, one-to-one connection, without an opacity at this stage. There is a clear understanding of each allegorical element.
