  5. What is a sound device? • Sound devices are resources used by poets to convey meaning through the skillful use of sound. • Poets use sound and imagery to create an emotional response.

  6. Alliteration The repetition of initial consonant sounds: Porky Pig ate a platter of pot roast

  7. Example of Alliteration Excerpt from Stopping by Woods on a Snowy Eveningby Robert Frost Whose woods these are I think I know. His house is in the village though; He will not see me stopping here To watch his woods fill up with snow.

  8. Assonance The repetition of vowel sounds within words: goat, bowl, scold • Examples are harder to find and are more subtle than the other devices • Often used to “set the mood” in a poem.

  9. Example of Assonance “West Beast East Beast” by Dr. SeussUpon an island hard to reach, The East Beast sits upon his beach. Upon the west beach sits the West Beast. Each beach beast thinks he's the best beast. Which beast is best?...Well, I thought at first, That the East was best and the West was worst. Then I looked again from the west to the east And I liked the beast on the east beach least.

  10. Consonance The repetition of sounds within or at the end of words: butler, antler, battler

  11. Example of Consonance Excerpt from “Zealots” By the Fugees (Lauryn Hill) Rap rejects my tape deck, ejects projectileWhether Jew or Gentile, I rank top percentile,Many styles, More powerful than gamma raysMy grammar pays, like Carlos Santana plays

  12. Onomatopoeia The use of words that sound like what they refer to: clop, bang, thud

  13. Example of Onomatopoeia Excerpt from “The Bells” by Edgar Allan Poe Hear the sledges with the bells - Silver bells!What a world of merriment their melody foretells!How they tinkle, tinkle, tinkle,In the icy air of night!While the stars that oversprinkleAll the heavens seem to twinkleWith a crystalline delight;Keeping time, time, time,In a sort of Runic rhyme,
