Paragraph Two
It
easy to dismiss literary works of being political. Unless it’s a newspaper
clipping or an article about the new bills that are going to be voted on, most
folks would agree books, especially ones that are targeted for a younger
demographic, are never political. However, it is possible and has been done
before. In recent years, people began to look deeper into the story of The Wonderful Wizard of Oz and have
found a secret allegory. When people looked at tale with the gilded age in
mind, people say the tale as a metaphor for the journey farmers and other
poorer folks went on to try to add silver as a backing for the U.S. currency.
In an even older story, The Canterbury
Tale is political for the way it presented each class of society,
reflecting the humor and ideas that different folks of medieval times had, with
a bit of satire done in regard to some of the tales (Ted-ed).
