what is alliteration and give me examples?

Answer 1

Alliteration is a literary device in which two or more consecutive words (or words that are nearby in the same sentence) start with the same letter. It is often used in poetry, literature, slogans, and other propaganda because it is usually impressive and memorable. Another common usage is in tongue-twisters.

Peter Piper picked a peck of pickled peppers.
We felt dreary and dismal in the darkness of the night.

And a famous one from Edgar Allan Poe's "The Bells":

Hear the loud alarum bells--
Brazen bells!
What a tale of terror, now, their turbulency tells!

What Is Alliteration

Answer 4

Little leaky lousy leeches.
Alliteration is the repetition of first letters that are consonants. The words don't all have to be next to each other. If a passage contains a lot of B's, for instance, that would qualify.
It's very common in poetry. You'll find a lot of it in Shakespeare, for instance.
Peter Piper picked a peck of pickled peppers.

Here's an example from Shakespeare's A MIDSUMMER'S NIGHT'S DREAM:
Whereat, with blade, with bloody blameful blade,
He bravely breach'd his boiling bloody breast

Answer 5

All Americans And Australians Are Alike And Also Aborigines Allude Always.
All Apples Are Alike
Bees Buzz Because Bees Be Buzzers.
Cows Can't Cry.
Dogs Don't Die.
Elephants Enter Ethiopia.
I can't be bothered to go on, but perhaps you get the point?
Dictionary definition: The repetition of initial sounds in adjacent words or syllales.
Also, google 'Gerard Manley Hopkins.' (English Victorian -- or perhaps modern -- poet who uses alliteration in his poems). Loch Lomond. Manly man. Rabid racoons. Scary sceptres. Tall timid towering trees.
This could go on forever. . . . I'm just trying to get to level 3 (no alliteration there!)
