An article discusses the first professional football player who was deaf. The author compares the player to Jackie Robinson, who was the first African American in Major League Baseball. What type of allusion does the author create? Biblical Historical Literary Mythological

Answers

The author creates an historical allusion.

An allusion is a brief or inderect reference to a person, thing, or an idea of an historical, cultural, literary, or political importance. Both the first professional football player that was deaf and Jackie Robinson, the first African American to play Major League Baseball are both important historical figures. Therefore, the allusion would be historical rather than biblical, literary, or mythological.
Historical because he is comparing one first to another first in history so that means its historical.

Read the selection below from The Acts of King Arthur and His Noble Knights by John Steinbeck and complete the statement that follows.

 

And Lancelot knelt down and took the king’s beloved hand in both of his and kissed it. “Good night, my liege lord, my liege friend,” he said, and then stumbled blindly from the room and felt his way down the curving stone steps past the arrow slits.

As he came to the level of the next landing, Guinevere issued silently from a darkened entrance. He could see her in the thin light from the arrow slit. She took his arm and led him to her dark chamber and closed the oaken door.

“A strange thing happened,” she said softly.

After the right-handed twin chose a deer antler as a weapon, he overpowered his brother, and he threw him off the edge of the Earth.

A compound-complex sentence calls for a Dependent Clause (a clause that has a subject and verb but an introductory word - in this case "After"). Add to that it must also contain a conjunction joining two Independent Clauses (stands alone as a sentence containing a subject and verb).
