There are several ways that an allusion can help a writer: 1  Allusions engage the reader and will often help the reader remember the message or theme of the passage.  Allusions allow the writer to give an example or get a point across without going into a lengthy discourse.
Allusions also place the alluded text in a new context, where it acquires new meanings. A poet may also allude to sources that are not strictly literary. For instance, T.S. Eliot's poem The Waste Land contains the line London Bridge is falling down falling down falling down, an allusion to a common nursery rhyme.
