You should avoid bold and “risky” ideas. Ethos is in large about being very jet stream and not necessarily standing out. It also by Greek definition has to do with connecting with others through music.
Is that the whole question?
I'm not sure what to say here
The verb form of “allusion” is “to allude.” So alluding to something is the same thing as making an allusion to it.
For example:
You’re acting like such a Scrooge!
Alluding to Dickens’s A Christmas Carol, this line means that the person is being miserly and selfish, just like the character Scrooge from the story.
