Please identify the literary devices of allusion, mood, and tone in Brave New World.

Thanks for your question. "Mood" or "tone" (the words are
interchangeable) is the author's way of using language to express her or his "attitude"
or "feelings" about a topic or subject Contemporary's Completed GED (2002). If you were
to read: war is the scourge of the earth and those who start them should be
banned from our midst. From this example, you pick up the author's mood: he
does not like warmongers or those who start wars.

Allusion
may certainly be made in your writings. Allusions are references to some other work or
story. I remember watching the Disney animated movie Hercules (1997) some years back and
thinking how it made references (allusions) not only to Greek mythology and modern day
cities like New York city, but also to the Christian faith Matt. 1:18 (Revised Standard
Version). For example, Hercules like the baby Jesus was born under unusual circumstances
grew up with a sense that He was not on earth for any ordinary purpose, and then had
supernatural abilities (Hercules, 1997). Well, this is what I saw and then there were
the references (allusions) to things like when Hercules and his faithful horse, Pegasus
went to the city. They were advised by Hercule's trainer, Phil, "Don't look anyone in
the eye,") (Hercules, 1997). It is said that this advice is given to people traveling to
big cities like New York city-- no offense to New Yorkers. I like New Yorkers ; in fact
my family made friends with a family from New York city at Walt Disney World in Florida
last summer.

You asked about characters and foil in your
original question. Characters foil other characters in a situation like the characters
in Huckleberry Finn or the Tom & Jerry cartoon characters Short (2011). Foil
characters are like alter-egos to the main character(s). They are often the opposite in
character than the main character(s). The main character may be sullen and withdrawn,
but the main character is upbeat and outgoing. Hope this
helps.
