Allusion is a reference, within a literary work, regarding a film, a piece of art, a historical even, or mythology. An allusion as a kind of shorthand, drawing on the outside work to provide greater context or meaning to the situation  being written about.

One can use allusion to achieve a well-rounded feel to their essay. You can reference to a multitude of other works to give your essay a more complex meaning. Making connotations to other things such as art of mythology can strengthen the point you are trying to get across. Also, using allusion may also provoke your reader to do research on a reference you are making, thus giving your essay more depth.

Which technique do poets use to create the mood?
Dimas [21]

Meter.

In literature, mood refers to the general atmosphere the writer creates and the feeling, thoughts, and emotions this atmosphere evokes in the reader. In the case of poems, this mood is linked to the metric which is the rhythm in a poem, which is also called the pattern of beats and depends on the number of syllables in each verse and the number of stressed/ unstressed syllables in each verse. In this way, the metric sets the pace of the poem and a slow pace would create a melancholic or sad atmosphere while by including more unstressed syllables, while the use of more stressed or accent syllables would create a more dynamic and cheerful mood. Thus, one of the techniques used by poets to create mood is the meter.
