An allusion is a reference to a person, place, event or idea from outside of the text. It may be a reference literature, art, history, music or other works.

In having the reader make the connection, the writer can communicate more information in fewer words.
Imagery is vivid description a writer provides through appeal to one or more of our senses (sight, smell, taste, touch, hearing). Imagery is often used to help the reader clearly visualize parts of a story by creating a strong mental picture.
