Modern Allusions - Teen/ Adult Idea #4 / Teacher Idea #3

English Teachers and Teen writers this idea is for you!

Write a story and make the main character a modern day allusion! Think of all these amazing classics always referring to Shakespeare, Greek Mythology, Bible, etc, and get an idea of how to formulate your own using a modern story (Ex: Harry Potter, PERCY JACKSON, The Fault in our Stars, etc.)

Try answering these questions before beginning:
Who is your character alluding? Why?
What is the point of the allusion?
Does is highlight anything about the character?
Does it foreshadow something?

Teachers, you could even have a class competition to see which writer's allusion can be guessed the quickest! :)

Have fun and don't forget to email pinkrosepetal525@gmail.com to tell me about your experiences or new ideas!
