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