Do you know a lot about literary terms? I know it is when a poem or story makes reeference to another poem or story, but I'm not sure what it's called. For example, in the book I'm reading, the character says “If you dressed me up in an orange-and-red sweater, you could ride me around the world in eighty days.” Which is referring to the movie "Around the world in 80 days."

Question

Do you know what that's called?

Answer 1

I think you're looking for allusion.
