An allusion is a brief reference to a person, event, or place, real or fictitious, or to a work of art.

Casual reference to a famous historical or literary figure or event.

An allusion may be drawn from history, geography, literature, or religion.

Example: "He was a Good Samaritan yesterday when he

helped the lady start her car." This refers to the Biblical story of the Good

Samaritan.

Don’t get confused… An allusion is a

reference, something you allude to: "Herallusion to flowers reminded me that Valentine's Day wascoming."

Don't confuse this with illusion. An illusion is a mirage, hallucination, or a magic trick.

*Think "Doesn't being fooled just make you ill?"

Allusions can help writers in several different ways:

Allusions engage the reader and will often help the reader remember the message or theme of the passage.

Allusions allow the writer to give an example or get a point across without going into a lengthy explanation.

However, an allusion won't work unless the reader knows about the story or event that is referenced.

Find the allusion:

"Cole couldn't believe his parents were letting this happen to him. What jerks! He hated his parents. His mom acted like a scared Barbie doll, always looking good but never fighting back or standing up to anyone. His dad was a bullheaded drinker with a temper. He figured everything was Cole's fault. Why wasn't his room clean? Why hadn't he emptied the garbage? Why hadn't he mowed the lawn? Why was he even alive?"
