What is an example and the function of an allusion in literature

English

An allusion is a reference to a famous person or thing used to bring something to mind. 

For example,

When someone says they were "shot by Cupid's arrow", they mean they fell in love with someone, and Cupid is often used to reference falling in love. 

Hope that wasn't too confusing, lol.

Which excerpt from "I'm Not Thirteen Yet" suggests that this story is a personal narrative?
andreyandreev [35.5K]

The correct answer is I made friends, but not with Margaret.

Explanation:

In personal narratives, personal experiences and important events are told by the person who experienced them. Due to this, a key element of personal narratives is the use of the pronoun "I" or related words such as me or my. This use makes the narrative to have a first-person point of view.

This is exemplified in "I made friends, but not with Margaret" because the use of "I" shows this story is told by the person who experiences it, and this suggests the text is a personal narrative. Also, in other details such as "Margaret Bowman was a thirteen-year-old who wore bras" the use of the first-person point of view is not directly exemplified.
