Tomorrow please bring "Allegory of a Cave," annotated, with three discussion questions.  If you have misplace your copy a link to this allegory is as follows:
 
 
Also, if you did not have your conference today, please bring to class your idea for your satire and five questions or bullet points about your piece.
