Alliteration Assonance and Consonance

Oh honey, let me break it down for you. "Silly Sally sits on a sidewalk" is a prime example of alliteration, where the same sound is repeated at the beginning of multiple words in a phrase. Sonnets, on the other hand, are 14-line poems with a specific rhyme scheme. So, in this case, we're all about that alliteration, not sonnets or onomatopoeia. Keep on slaying those literary terms, darling!

The line "And how the silence surged softly backward" in the poem "The Listeners" by Walter de la Mare is an example of alliteration, where the repeated "s" sound creates a musical quality in the verse.

In Beowulf, an example of assonance is seen in the line "Sægdon hine snoterne men, Sunu Ecgðeowes." The repeated short "e" sound in "Ecgeowes" and "snoterne" creates a melodic effect and adds to the overall rhythm of the poem.

One example of alliteration in "Divergent" is the phrase "fear landscapes," where the repeated "l" sound creates a sense of flow and emphasis. Another example is "brave but broken," where the repeated "b" sound adds rhythm and emphasis to the description.

Sally screamed silently.

An example of assonance in "The Raven" is the repetition of the short "o" sound in the phrase "And the silken, sad, uncertain rustling of each purple curtain."

"Peter Piper picked a peck of pickled peppers" is a well-known example of alliteration because the words start with the same sound.

"Silent tent" is an example of a word pair illustrating consonance, as both words have the same ending consonant sound of "nt."

"Riley ran to the rustic refuge in the forest."

Alliteration is a literary device where words in a sentence or phrase begin with the same sound. It helps create rhythm and emphasis in writing. Common characteristics include repetition of consonant sounds, usually at the beginning of words, and the impact of sound on the reader's experience of the text.

Betty bought Belgian bread before brunch because Buddy broke Betty's bones.

No, meter and rhyme schemes are not determined by alliteration. Meter refers to the pattern of stressed and unstressed syllables in a poem, while rhyme schemes refer to the pattern of rhymes at the end of lines. Alliteration, on the other hand, is the repetition of initial consonant sounds in words close to each other.

Our speaker is like a really cool professor who is super smart and who asks the best questions. We imagine him standing in front of a classroom, letting the chatter and nervous energy die down. He adjusts the glasses on the edge of his nose and stares at the room full of anxious and excited scholars-in-the-making, and he poses a single, simple question, "Class, what happens to a dream deferred?" Silence. More silence. He doesn't care. He knows the best way to get a response is to let his students sit and think for a little while. After a few minutes, no one has offered an answer. It seems like a trick question, maybe. The professor offers some possible solutions, but (like any good teachers) he does not give the answer. His students notice a sense of reverence in the way he's talking about dreams, and suddenly they start to think about dreams in a different way, in a more concrete way. When he suggests that dreams explodewhen they are deferred, there's a glimmer in his eye.

To watch a great mind reflect on something as seemingly commonplace as a dream is a big deal. But the coolest thing about this professor is that he does not feel the need to use big, clumsy, academic words. He does not feel the need to intimidate with his knowledge. He merely puts a simple question to his students, because he's more interested in hearing what theyhave to say than he is in filling the room with his own ideas. We know that something very important is taking place, and we know this is a class we will have a hard time forgetting.

In Dear Mr. President by Pink, there are slight hints of alliteration but word analogy is more present in the song. Many do not pick up on the alliteration due to the type of imagery used.

An example of figurative language in "Flowers in the Attic" is when the author describes the main character's heart as being "shattered into a million pieces" when she experiences intense emotional pain. This is a metaphor that conveys the depth of her suffering and helps the reader understand the emotional impact of the situation.

A South West Rocks alliteration would be a phrase where successive words start with the same sound, like "salty sea spray at South West Rocks." It combines multiple words that all begin with the same letter or sound, creating a rhythmic effect.

In "The Awakening," Kate Chopin uses alliteration to create rhythm and emphasis in the prose. She strategically places words with the same beginning consonant sound to draw the reader's attention to specific themes or ideas, enhancing the overall poetic and evocative quality of the narrative.

Assonance is a poetic technique which is used on vowels. For example, "Doomed Youth"

notice how the "oo" and "ou" sound the same.

This effect give the words longer vowel sounds, usually to emphasise the words.

In the lines "By women wailing for her demon-lover!" the pair of words "wailing" and "demon" create assonance through the repetition of the long "a" sound.

Whispering waves washing the shore.

No, the repetition of the beginning sounds of words in successive or nearby lines is known as consonance. Alliteration is the repetition of initial consonant sounds specifically within a single line of text.

the kitten knocked over the kitten food.

Bob bounced back up on the bed.

Princess Pauline prefers pralines, but Prince Percival presents plums and peaches (perhaps Pauline's too plump).
