Answer: “Today as the news from Selma and Saigon.”
An allusion is a figure of speech in which the author references an object or event from a different context. The audience is meant to make the connection and understand how these two topics are related.
In this case, Hayden makes an allusion to major events in the 1960s. Selma refers to the Selma to Montgomery Marches of 1965, a series of marches within the Civil Rights Movement. On the other hand, Saigon refers to the Vietnam War, as the city played an important role during this conflict.
One pro about reading fiction books is that in some books it can expand you imagination to think things you never thought or if your going through a rough time it can help you be distracted and put you in a good mood. However the cons on fictional books is that nothing in it is informational or in most cases is real, so for some kids this can infect there brains to thinking that they can do or that they believe in certain things that are not in reality.
