LIT TERMS 1-5

Allegory: Famous and remade and referenced in everyday conversation.  Good job, Aesop.  Or should I say "That'll do pig."
Alliteration:  My favorite kind of tongue twisters are created through alliteration.  And if you're looking for tongue twisters in Spanish to sharpen your pronunciation, search trabalenguas.
Allusion: This image is a screencap of the tv show Bones.  It's a good show.  I don't feel like I have to explain any more so there you have it.
Ambiguity: These are fun, right?!  Is it a man with a sax or a lady with an up-do?  *ghost voice* Nobody knoooows!

Anachronism: A few years ago, this crazy little idea at the 4:22 mark popped up.  Was there a time traveller recorded in Charlie Chaplin's The Circus?  Does he get coverage in 1928?  How does his battery last so long?  Many more questions inspired than answered.
