Allusion is a brief and indirect reference to a person, place, thing or idea of historical, cultural, literary or political significance. It does not tell in detail the thing, idea, place or person.
Xanadu is a mitical place. It is located in the north of Shangri La that was introduced in 1933 in the fictional novel Lost Horizon by author James Hilton
2.- The symbol that Joan Didion uses is that nobody lives at Xanadu that it is paradise on earth for her because New York was appealing to the author even though she was not well paid and didn't have the best food on the table.
Answer:
"However, chores are building blocks for a firm foundation."
Explanation:
A metaphor is where one thing is described / compared to another thing, without the use of words such as "like" or "as". It is where one thing is described by directly referring to another.
In this case, "chores" are not actual "building blocks", but are described as being like them, by directly referencing them as building blocks, but without the use of words such as "like" or "as".
Hope this helps!
NOTE: If there is a word such as "like" or "as" (e.g. He was like a lion), than it would be a simile.
