-Ring Around the Rosy: Ring around the Rosy? Yes, you read it right. Most all of us know this common nursery rhyme, but do you know where it originated? Ring around the Rosy is actually a song about the Black Plague that originated in England. It says, "Ring around the rosy" meaning the red, rosy rings that form around the sores when you are infected. "Pocket full of Posy" resembles the sweet-smelling herbs, called posies, that were placed in peoples' pockets because they thought that bad smells contracted disease. "Ashes, Ashes, we all fall down" is translated to be the massive amounts of death and cremation of bodies during the 14th century in Europe when the disease broke out. Not such a fun and friendly nursery rhyme anymore, is it?

An allegory is a story intended to be read on a symbolic level. In an allegorical story, the characters, settings and events are intended to have meanings independent of the actions in the surface story. For example, a story may stand for the entire world.
