ALLUSION - a reference to someone or something from history, religion or literature. Authors use allusion to help the reader make a stronger connection to their work.
For example, if I said, "That student is a real Bart Simpson." You would identify the allusion from the tv show The Simpsons and the allusion of Bart Simpson helps us to understand that the student is a trouble maker, underachiever, class clown, etc.
Another example would be if a basketball coach said, "Our team's inability to make free throws at the end of the game is our Achilles' heel." You would identify the reference froim Greek History and it is a reference to the warrior Achilles and his weak point - his heel. Thus, the coach is saying the team's free throw shooting, at the end of the game, is the team's weakness.
