  1. Allusion A reference to something that the reader is assumed to know (person, place, event, literary work, myth, art, etc.)

  2. Finding Nemo • Nemo was a ship captain in the classic novel 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea by Jules Verne. The character Nemo in the modern cartoon reflects the earlier Nemo’s spirit of adventure.

  3. The Fault in Our Stars • The title of this John Green YA novel is an allusion to the Shakespearean play Julius Caesar. Before Caesar’s assassination, one of his killers motivates another by saying, “The fault, dear Brutus, is not in our stars but in ourselves, that we are underlings.” This reminds Brutus that he isn’t less than Caesar by fate but because he hasn’t made the choice to take action.

  4. In conversation… • I’ll make you an offer you can’t refuse. • Calling someone “Sherlock” or “Nancy Drew” • There’s no place like home. • Bueller?
