allusion is a brief and indirect reference to a person, place, thing or idea of historical, cultural, literary or political significance. It does not describe in detail the person or thing to which it refers.

<em>a reference in a text to a well-known text, person, event, or thing</em>. This is the right option. The author makes the decision to refer to these items generally in an indirect way. For example, you should not wait as <em>Penelope</em>. Get out and meet a new man!.  Penelope is Odysseu's wife.

These are not correct options:

- words, events, or dialogue in a text that hint at a future plot development. This is called foreshadowing.

-a communication between characters that develops character or plot.  This is characterization

- incidents placed in a text by the author to mislead or trick the reader: This is plot device.

In at least 150 words, explain three ways in which Flannery O’Connor’s short story “A Good Man is Hard To Find,” exemplifies the
Kay [80]

Southern Gothic is a genre with a mood that combines Southern details, such as small-town life, with terror or suspense. Unlike early gothic literature about vampires and ghosts, Flannery O’Connor and others began writing about the monsters around us in everyday life. A key characteristic of this genre is having deeply flawed characters. In “A Good Man is Hard To Find,” both the grandmother and The Misfit are deeply flawed characters for very different reasons. The Misfit is a murderer who seems to have been created by a failed penal system, while the grandmother seems like a proper lady at first, but turns out to be selfish, a racist, and ultimately gets her whole family killed. It is through these characters that O’Connor explores the theme of good and evil, and whether people are truly capable of change.

rewona [7]
Sally threw her bike and ran towards the house. Her salty tears stained her cheeks as she was sobbing. She just managed to get away from the monsters, the people that tore her to the ground and punched her everyday. All she wanted was to go to the store to buy some groceries because her mom died when she was only 6 and her dad is a drunk mess. Her dad didn’t know about the bullies, Ericka and Everlyn, but she doubted he even cared. As she sprinted down the street, she heard the mimicking voices behind her.

is this enough? :)

The aspect of this poem that most clearly marks it as a work of Modernism is D. It avoids using rhythm or rhyme. In poetry, this writing style is called 'free verse' and it is characterized as an open form of poetry, reading which you will never see a meter patterns or rhyme. Such form was favoured with poets of Modernism; they usually follow the rhythm of natural speech just as if you reading simple letter or something like this.
