An allusion is a casual reference to something. A biblical allusion is to use an image or reference from the bible in everyday language that has nothing to do with the original use of the image or reference.
For instance, to say a supposedly powerful person has "feet of clay" is to refer to the vision of a mighty statue in the second chapter of Daniel that nevertheless collapsed because its feet were made partly of clay. |

Characterization is when the author describes and introduces characters. They can do this either directly or indirectly. Direct characterization is when the author tells you about the character: "John was very tall".
Indirect characterization is when the author shows you something about the character: "As John walked into the room, he had to duck in order to avoid hitting his head on the door frame." |

an example that one of my friends told me is, "yes i know coke is good, but i just think DP tastes better..."
the definition is-
an expression of concern for the feelings of those who may disagree with the writer's position, a good way to overcome the reader's resistance to a controversial position. Concession shows the writer to be both a logical thinker and a concerned, fair-minded person who realizes that every argument has two sides |
