An allusion is a reference to an event, a person, or literature that the speaker finds relevant to the issues he explores. Lincoln begins his address with a double allusion: “Fourscore and seven years ago our fathers brought forth, upon this continent, a new nation, conceived in liberty and dedicated to the proposition that ‘all men are created equal.’” The speaker frequently uses contrasts in his address, also known as antithesis. Contrasts are known to attract audiences and to make them pay more attention to what speakers are saying as they move back and forth between opposing ideas. One example of antithesis is: “as a final resting place for those who died here, that the nation might live.” Hope that helps!!!
