Allusion English IV

Definition of Allusion in literature, an implied or indirect reference to a person, event, or thing or to a part of another text. Most allusions are based on the assumption that there is a body of knowledge that is shared by the author and the reader and that therefore the reader will understand the author’s reference.

Examples of Allusion I “It’s been raining so much I’m expecting to see a boat with two of every animal float by.” The Bible

Examples of Allusion II Martin Luther King, Jr. began his ‘I Have a Dream’ speech: “Five score years ago…” Lincoln’s “Gettysburg Address”

Your assignment Due: List three allusions in The Brief Wondrous Life of Oscar Wao not explained by footnotes. Include page numbers for each. Research the meaning of the three allusions; to what is the author alluding? Write a short explanation. Explain why the author chose that particular allusion. How does it contribute to the understanding of the passage?
