212 Words1 Page

Hutchinson uses these two allusions: King John and Columbus. Both allusions illustrate the growth of the tree. The first allusion is King John. In the passage, it states that “King John must have been signing a certain document on the island of Runnymede around the time when a seed sprouted on an unknown continent and a tiny sprig of the green thrust itself up, among many others, from the floor of the jungle” (Hutchinson, line 10-12). In the phrase, this “certain document” is known as the magna carta, which was established in the year 1215. This allusion is significant because at the time when the “certain document” was signed, the tree started to grew that helped us to identify the time period of the tree. The second allusion is Columbus.
