Blog #8, DUE: Friday, Nov. 2nd

Post your novel's title and author. 

An allusion is a reference to a well-known person, place, event, literary work, or work of art.  For example, a novel might make an allusion to Pinnochio, Scrooge, Romeo and Juliet, Jesus, the Garden of Eden, the Mona Lisa, Adam and Eve, characters from mythology (Zeus, Aphrodite, etc.), Cyclops, celebrities, etc. 

Find an allusion in your novel.  Write the allusion and explain WHY the author chose to include it.
