Allusions:
When authors refer to other great works, people, and events, it’s usually not accidental. These references are called allusions. In her novel, Speak, Laurie Halse Anderson makes several allusions to authors, artists, prominent individuals/groups, and pop culture. Can you make the connections between each of these allusions and the protagonist, Melinda Sordino?
