What are some examples of 'allusion'?
In literature, allusions refer to an outside event or source such as history, literature, religion, etc. What this means is that it pulls this information out of its original context and uses it to support the work. For example, a simile or metaphor for the "Garden of Eden" is an example of a biblical allusion. Any mention of Julius Caesar's death, or Brutus' betrayal, no matter how faint, is an allusion to history. Mentioning Shakespeare or Romeo and Juliet in another literary work is a literary allusion. Allusions are many.
What event in history relates to orwells 1984?
-Signing of the Declaration of Independence at Appomattox Courthouse -The invasion of Turkmenistan by the 3rd riech on January 8, 1984 -The bombing of Little Man Atoll by the infamous Nagasaki bombs -The rise of 'big brother' to power in Russia These are a few of the events that relate to 1984--its a very fascinating book and time period though, and certainly worth some research when you have the time.
Are all written pieces literary?
By no means. Most writing is not literature. Even some literature is not literature. "All writings" includes a vast amount of factual material: historical records, technical information, law and legal commentary, journalistic writings, nonfiction of many other kinds. There is also the whole body of advertising, marketing, propaganda, political writing, and so on, whose aim is to sell something: product, point of view, position, cause, etc. None of this is literature. Most of what you find in magazines and newspapers is not literature, even though there's an awful lot of words in them. (Some nonfiction is literature; the lines are not as crisp as all that.) There is a very loose sense of "literature" to mean almost any kind of writing--for example, "advertising literature"--but that is not what we mean when we talk about literature as such.
What is an allusion in a movie?
A passing or casual reference to something else, an incidental mention of something, either directly or by implication.A film may make allusions to other films, to well-known literary characters or plots, to popular culture, to history, to the director's own life, and so on. For example, Woody Allen's films are full of allusions to his own career and personal life, as well as his literary and other intellectual interests. The title of his film Hannah and Her Sisters (1986) appears to be a literary allusion to a well-known series of four novels by the German writer Thomas Mann called Joseph and His Brothers (1930s-1940s), based on the biblical story of Joseph. In Woody Allen's film, the character Hannah is the "good sister' who redeems the other sisters, just as the biblical Joseph was the good brother who redeemed his brothers.
