Question

review the passage. the allusion is shown in bold.
i know where i have to go. ive known for a long time. i made a promise. the kind of promise you dont break because, if you break it, youve broken part of yourself, maybe the most important part.
but you tell yourself things. things like, i need to come up with something first. i cant just walk into the lions den without a plan. or, its hopeless, theres no point anymore. youve waited too long.
