    In the case of allusions, they don’t make the reader feel a certain way as allusions are there to enhance the quality of the text. An allusion is a powerful rhetorical device as it is straightforward and tends to clarify something that you may not understand in the text. It gives the reader a deeper understanding of what the author is trying to say by making a reference to something or someone well-known. In the book Fahrenheit 451, there are some examples of allusions being used as Ray Bradbury wants us to understand what he is trying to convey. For example, at the end of Fahrenheit 451, Montag brings up something from the book of Revelation when it says “And on either side of either side of the river was there a tree of life, which bare twelve manners of fruits, and yielded her fruit every month; And the leaves of the tree were for the healing of the nations”(165).
