23. Allusion Definition-a reference within a work to something famous outside it, such as a well-known person, place, event, story, or work of art, literature, music, pop culture. Purpose-Lets reader/viewer understand new information, characters, plot, setting, etc. by connecting it to something already known.

24. Allusion “Problems” Allusions are NOT references to someone/something only a small group of people know. So, you wouldn’t say, “Sally’s smile looked like my mom’s smile.” While this is a method of comparison, it is not to something well-known (outside of your community). =

25. Allusion Examples Sally had a smile rivaled only by that of the Mona Lisa. Since everyone is familiar with the painting, they can imagine Sally’s almost expressionless smile. What does this show about Sally?
