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.

Hope I helped :)

Read the excerpt from Dr. Martin Luther King’s “Letter from Birmingham Jail.”
balu736 [363]

Answer:

Check below for the answer and explanations

Explanation:

Dr. Martin Luther King wrote a letter to a group of clergymen who described Martin Luther's action of direct non-violent protest in Birmingham as untimely and unwise. He, through this letter, explained to them why the protest was necessary and that the sole aim of the protest was negotiation.

He said Birmingham, a Negro community, has suffered too much racial discrimination from the white that necessitated the protest.

In this excerpt, he was trying to tell them that Birmingham has suffered more severe segregation from the whites than any other city in the United States that left them with no other alternative than the protest.

Martin Luther King supported this claim by highlighting several ugly situations that the blacks in Birmingham were constantly subjected to by the whites. He also mentioned that the city leaders had failed to engage the people in any productive negotiations.

The excerpt below supports Martin Luther's claim that they were left with no alternative than protest.

"There can be no gainsaying the fact that racial injustice engulfs this community. Birmingham is probably the most thoroughly segregated city in the United States. Its ugly record of brutality is widely known. Negroes have experienced grossly unjust treatment in the courts. There have been more unsolved bombings of Negro homes and churches in Birmingham than in any other city in the nation. These are the hard, brutal facts of the case. On the basis of these conditions, Negro leaders sought to negotiate with the city fathers. But the latter consistently refused to engage in good faith negotiation"
