This is my working thesis statement: 
Plato’s “Allegory of the Cave” is a powerful metaphorical story that explores the relationship between education, perception, and enlightenment.
These are the sources I have to use

So I already have a paper written but it talks too much about the exacts about e-commerce and day trading. Take some of that out to a reasonable point. I added 5 pages which should cover edits and add ons. I need this essay to flow better it should be a narration written in a meander style. It should alternate paragraphs telling a story of an important black figure’s life obtaining wealth and mine. Lets try and instead of an introduction narrate a story in the bible that somehow connects to me and this black figure of your choice. Really make it a story that will grab readers’ attention. draw parallels between the figure me and the bibles. I know these are weird instructions but I hope you understand what I am getting at. I added the original essay down below.

Prompt: What role does World Literature play in modern society?
To answer this prompt use the works of tanka and haiku poetry to reconnect the modern world to the truths revealed by nature

Topic of the Paper: In this paper I aim to explore the life, works, and significance of Sor Juana Inés de la Cruz within the context of the Spanish Colonial Period in Mexico. The paper will examine Sor Juana’s challenges to gender norms, her advocacy for education and intellectualism, her complex relationship with religion, and her lasting impact on Mexican and global literature.
