Hello. You did not present the text to which this question refers, which makes it impossible for it to be answered. However, when searching for your question on the internet, I managed to find another question exactly the same as yours, which showed that the text "A Trip Over The Rainbow" is the text in question. If that's your case, I hope the answer below can help you.

The allusions to "The Wonderful Wizard of Oz" contribute to a tone of creativity and novelty, as well as reinforcing the meaning of admiration for something.

Explanation:

"A Tripe Over The Raimbow" shows how Ben feels in another reality when admiring the works of his favorite artist. For Ben, the paintings and all the artist's work refer to the idea of the City of Oz, as they are works full of creativity and novelties as wonderful as those presented in "The Wonderful Wizard of Oz." In this case, the allusions to "The Wonderful Wizard of Oz" reinforce this idea of creativity and novelty, creating the tone of the story.
