n Should in the furthest east begin to draw The shady curtains from Aurora's bed, Away from the light steals home my heavy son, And private in his chamber pens himself, Shuts up his windows, locks far daylight out And makes himself an artificial night: Black and portentous must this humour prove, Unless good counsel may the cause remove.

I would say that Shakespeare uses allusion in this excerpt from Romeo and Juliet. He is alluding, or making a reference to Aurora, who is a character/person outside of Romeo and Juliet.

The answer is allusion because

allusion : an expression designed to call something to mind without mentioning it explicitly; an indirect or passing reference.


<u><em>b. Allusion</em></u>

Answer:

A: Have you ever really struggled to make a decision? I sure did. It was springtime. I was 11 years old and living with my grandma and grandpa in Florida. The weather was wonderful. I couldn’t wait to try out for spring sports!

B: That spring I had to decide between playing soccer and volleyball. I loved both sports but knew that if I wanted to be able to perform at my best, I would have to choose one over the other.

C: Beginning action topic sentence: I loved playing sports in the spring. The weather was just right.

Supporting detail 1: Every day, I’d rush home after school, gobble up a snack, and rush out again to play soccer in the park with my friends.

Supporting deta

il 2: Sometimes I went to the tennis courts on weekends with my best friend, Anna, who was on the tennis team at school.

Supporting detail 3: And then there were the afternoons we spent playing volleyball on the beach.

D: Middle action topic sentence: I had played soccer since I was 6 years old. My dad taught me to play because the little boys in my neighborhood wouldn’t let a girl like me play with them.

Supporting detail 1: From that day on, my dad was my coach. Playing soccer became one of my favorite things to do with him.

Supporting detail 2: It was my dad who encouraged me to join the junior soccer team when I was in the sixth grade.

Supporting detail 3: By then, soccer was not just an important part of my relationship with my dad; it was also my go-to whenever I felt down or discouraged.

E: End action topic sentence: Volleyball was a new sport for me.

Supporting detail 1: I only ever played it when I went to the beach with my friends. I had never played for a school team.

Supporting detail 2: I knew from the few times I’d played volleyball that I enjoyed the game. It was exciting, and it got my blood pumping.

Supporting detail 3: But I also knew that my serves were very weak; they never went where I wanted them to go. Usually the various members of the other team ducked the minute I served the ball. They didn’t want to get hit.

F: After I really took the time to think about it, I decided I would choose soccer as my spring sport. I had played it for so long that it just felt like the best choice. I will always remember this time in my life because it taught me to trust my instincts. Even though I still enjoy volleyball, soccer is my true love. I’m glad that I’ve stuck with it all these years.
