Homework Help Forum: Literary Devices

Posted by Hailey on Thursday, November 5, 2009 at 12:30am.

When an author quotes another author in his novel, writes a poem in his book that he was reminded of when the events happened and that corresponds with what is happening in the text, what is that called? Is it a literary device? It can't be allusion.. I'm talking about where Che quotes a poem that he was reminded of when he left his loved one in the book The Motorcycle Diaries.

  I don't think this is a literary device, simply a punctuation issue.
