recall a familiar text

Explanation: Patriotism is often taught through school routines. Young Americans may stand to say, "I pledge allegiance to the flag." They may attend special assemblies or programs honoring veterans. Career studies may include descriptions of armed service professions. Even the study of geography is an exercise in patriotism, as students learn the names of states and capitals.

An allusion is simply defined as an indirect reference, a hint or a reference to something supposed to be known, but not explicitly mentioned. The object of indirect referencing might be a person, a place, a thing or an idea of historical, cultural, literary or political significance although they are not described in detail. Allusions can be used to help recall texts, as a device to enhance a text by providing further meaning, in making ironic comments etc.

hmm, sadly there is no dialogue. there is no place in the story where he is talking to anyone. it's more of just describing what he eats and where he sleeps. you have to become anne frank, give details of where you are, what other folks look like, how the environment is. have a little bit of dialogue tell of what people are specifically saying. anne frank talked about her entire household including the people, the objects, the lighting, the food they ate, and even the smell in the air. there has to be more to your diary entries, the whole story in its current state is only about peter van daan, the food, the sounds, and where he sleeps. also he seems to be writing only once a year yet more than that happened from day to day. for a friend, i can you write it out, if you want.
