  5. Allusion • Allusions are often used to summarize , broad complex ideas or emotions, in one quick powerful image. An allusion serves as kind of a shorthand drawing, on this outside work to provide greater context or meaning to the situation being written about. While allusions can be an economical way of communicating with the reader, they risk alienating the readers who do not recognize these references. Strong fiction (or poetry) will use allusions so that the fiction works on both levels. Allusions can also be thought of as a kind of hypertext, linking the reader to another traditional or literary history.
