  1. ELA Literary Terms Allusion

  2. Allusion Definition: a reference to another piece of work, famous person, or famous event. Interesting point: it has been said that the most alluded to references are war, Shakespeare and the Bible. Use: to add deeper meaning to your work; to provide context in a shortened manner; to make connections for the reader; imagery. Be careful though – some readers may not be familiar with the work you are referring to, defeating the purpose of using an allusion!

  3. Examples of Allusion Explain what the following allusions are describing. • I was surprised his nose didn’t grow like Pinocchio’s! • It’s raining so hard we better load up the ark! • When she lost her job, she acted like Scrooge and didn’t buy anything! • Someday, I will find my prince, no matter how many frogs I meet along the way.
