Remember that an allusion refers to a famous person, event, literary work -- something that is familiar to many readers and/or listeners.
When I defined allusion under Literary Devices on January 25th, I referred to Newton's Laws of Motion. If you will recall, the second law was illustrated by the result of Jaeger's shoving P. Martin in the lunch line and the acceleration that followed.
Well, a new MarMoo Muse has added a story addition to that scenario: Let it be known that when P.Martin was shoved in line, a very small classmate, was stepped on, causing a loud shrill and repeated complaint. This shrill little person continued to complain until her best friend and confident stated firmly, "Be careful P. Maritn or Jaeger will make it hard on all of us" (Ann D.)
Beautiful addition, and welcome Ann!
Welcome to MarMooWorks Story Line, where I encourage you to become a Muse of MarMooWorks. Each week, I will begin a story, using one sentence, and I invite you, the readers, to add to the story. Be on the lookout for fun and unusual words, images, and literary devices. Be sure to keep in mind that once a character has been introduced, he/she/it remains in the story and has a purpose.
