Peer Review:
I am impressed with the way you have pinpointed out the meaning of the term allegory. In deed you have also been able to capture the various aspects of allegory in Video clip one. For instance, you have been able to capture the fact that political speech used in the video has allegory in it. This is indeed true because I had the same point in mind while going through your response. The selection of the screen shot was also on point. You really did well in selecting it. It brings out the issue under discussion vividly.
