Extra-Credit Essay!

Having researched Plato's infamously allegorical "Cave Slaves", read Samuel Taylor Coleridge ["Glencoe Literature (Green Book)] on (711).

It is critical to be able to decipher The Ancient World's concept of the universe as a giant "stereoma". The Stereoma is a concept employed in both the allegory and in the poem.

Other pointers, include: a working knowledge of Plato's seven forms, and the Warlord Kubla Khan's Shangdu.

Consider diction, imagery, theme, and figurative langauge.
