English class- Help with antonyms for these words?

ice • 10 January 2013 at 12:45 AM

I need an antonym of the NOUN refrain and an antonym of the word allusion (literary element). Can anyone help?

@ice whats is a antonym?

@greentealover The opposite of a word. 😊

@ice

Refrain - Persist

Allusion - Reality? (Yes, I know Allusion...I google searched it and that's what it said. :/ XD)

@kurochi-akuma I meant the noun refrain, as in "A repeated sound, word, phrase, line, or group of lines". 😱

@ice I have honestly no idea then. D:

Sorry...my vocabulary is small. ._.'

Any of you guys wanna help?

This is difficult. Maybe for allusion it could be something like declaration because when you allude to something in literature, you're suggesting, not declaring.

Maybe for refrain you can use instance, since refrain is repeating.

Not the best, but I'm not sure what the opposite literary terms are for those. :/

@ice Dang.... That's freaking hard. .___. Uh... I got nothing, sorry. ><

@kurochi-akuma Got it. XP

Hello. I think I got the answer:

Refrain - Verse (part of the song that is not the chorus)
Allusion - Evidence, reality, etc
