The word for the Day

Allegory - a story that is written or told to represent an Idea or Belief.
So some books are a type of allegory. One example is The Lion, The Witch and The Wardrobe - where Aslan took Edmund`s place and died because Edmund had been a trader; so I think Aslan is a lot like Jesus, Cause Aslan came back to life.
Another example is The Door Within series. This time the one who dies is King Eliam, who is killed to save his people. He is killed by the once good Paragor (meaning - one of eternal darkness), who is then cast out, so he lives in Paragory (meaning - the dark gate) and he tries to take over many times.
There may be other books, but I don`t know them. If you do please tell me. I did the 2 I know of.

See ya next time.
