ALLUSIONS

As I mentioned in class, you need to know the core myths and stories of the ancient Greeks, Romans, Hebrews, and Christians. Not only will a good number of AP Lit exam multiple choice questions ask you to identify allusions to these in multiple choice questions; you also need to know them simply to appreciate so many levels of meaning "between the lines" of most great literature and, yes, film - even television and pop music, for that matter. The Simpsons allude to Antiquity all the time. So do rock artists like Marilon Manson.

So Milton is a godsend for allusions. And the Purdue online text makes it easy.


 * Here's the idea: List the allusions, book by book. Try to find an image from Creative Commons search or a video from YouTube to give us visual ways of learning this stuff. (If you copy and paste, cite your sources right afterwards, and link to them. Don't steal images.)**
