    Kingsolver uses allusions in here work. Examples of this are:

    ... was the best deal this side of the Jackson Purchase ... - a historical event allusion

    ... came high railing in there like some blond Paul McCartney ... - a famous person allusion

    ... clouds [that] were pink and fat and hilarious looking, like the hippo ballerinas in a Disney movie ... - famous movies allusions
