ALLUSIONS NOT ILLUSIONS

What is an allusion??? An allusion is a reference to a well known person, event, place, or literary work.

I found an allusion in one of my favorite books, Artemis Fowl The Arctic Incident

In the book, one of the main characters, Commander Root, says “Hate to tell you this, Dorothy, but you ain’t in Kansas anymore.” This is a reference to the well known movie and book, The Wizard of Oz

You can tell that this is an allusion because Root calls Artemis Dorothy, the main character in The Wizard of Oz, and says that he’s not in Kansas anymore.
