Doodle's parents named him William Armstrong. Brother says that was like tying a big tail on a small kite. ^^ That's figurative language. And allusion is when a story refers to another work of literature. In this case, when Aunt Nicey says that whatever Doodle and Brother will show them has to be as good as the Resurrection, she is referring to when Jesus comes back from the dead. here are the alliusions in scarlet ibis"It was too late, for we had both wandered too far into a net of expectationsand HAD LEFT NO CRUMBS BEHIND." The allusion was "Had left no crumbs behind"It's like Hansel and Gretel how they left crumbs behind to mark the way. Hope
