My cousins and I went fishing last weekend. We were catching a boatload of fish, but then a problem sprang up. The boat started

taking on water, quickly! We had to jump out and swim to shore. We were dead tired after that. The boat sank quicker than the Titanic. Luckily, we weren’t too far from shore.

The allusion described in this passage is about the Titanic. "The boat sank quicker than the Titanic." This sentence is referencing an historical even that actually happened back in 1912 while using this as a comparison to the boat and how it sank. Hence, this type of allusion is an historical allusion (referring to an event in history).

In Longfellow’s poem "The Village Blacksmith," Longfellow never gives a name to the blacksmith. By not naming the blacksmith, Lo
Ahat [919]

Answer:

My dad is like the village blacksmith.

The first and second verse of the poem, the writer describes the physical attributes of the blacksmith.

Then in verse 3, the blacksmith's innate qualities of consistency, and hard work are unravelled.

This is very typical of my dad who though is a farmer never slips up on his work and always keeps his promise.

Another quality of the blacksmith that I see in my dad is found in verse 5. It reads that the blacksmith sits amongst the boys on Sunday, connoting that he is a Christian.

My dad, same as the blacksmith not only goes to church on Sunday. He prays and teaches us to do the same.

He is quite inclined towards God. I guess it's because much like the blacksmith who from steel forges various kinds of tools and shapes objects, He recognises that many of the things around us too were "forged" by a Superior Blacksmith.

Cheers!
