Choose one of the allusions from the previous lesson (or one of your own choice) and use it to write a brief (one paragraph) character sketch or story situation in which the allusion enhances what you are trying to say.

Answer 1

We really can't help you without knowing something about "the previous lesson".

Answer 5

Maybe if you see some examples of allusions, you can come up with one of your own. I hope this helps:

Example of Allusion
**An allusion is a reference to a well-known person, place, event, literary work or work of art.
For example:
-It has rained so long, it seems as though it has rained for 40 days and nights (This is reference to Noah's Arc, which is a well-known event).
-Harriet Tubman was called the Moses of her time.
-To act or not to act, that was Maria's dilemma.
-The final game was John's Waterloo.
-Sue did not want to endure Eve's curse, so she opted for the epidural.
-The killer wore a mark of Cain as he stalked his brother - refering to the Bible story: Cain and Abel.

As for the writing, itself: One paragraph is easy-peasy! It's literally 5 sentences, or so. Once you come up with an idea, and get started, you'll have a hard time keeping it to JUST one paragraph. Good luck!
