  1. Alliteration, Consonance, and Assonance

  2. Alliteration • Repetition of the same consonant sounds, usually at the beginning of the words • Example: - Should the glee-glaze- - In Death’s–stiff-stare.

  3. Alliteration • Find the alliteration in “Sweetness, Always” “Verses of pastry which melt into milk and sugar in the mouth.”

  4. Alliteration • Yay, you found the alliteration! …Hopefully “Verses of pastry which melt into milk and sugar in the mouth.”

  5. Assonance • The repetition of similar vowel sounds within syllables Example: Beware of ex/cessive assonance. Any assonance that draws attention to itself is ex/cessive.

  6. Assonance • Find the Assonance in this quote from “The Flea” “Oh stay, three lives in one flea spare, Where we almost, nay more than married are.”

  7. Assonance • Yay, you found it! …. Hopefully. “Oh stay, three lives in one flea spare, Where we almost, nay more than married are.” • No matter where the similar sounds are found, as long as they are a repetition of the same vowel sound, they count!

  8. Assonance Vs. Rhyme Scheme • What is the difference between Assonance and Rhyme Scheme? • Although Rhyme Scheme is also the same sounds, in rhyming those sounds are usually found at the end of the lines of the poem. • Assonance can be found all throughout a poem, no matter where in the line.

  9. Consonance • Close repetition of the same consonant soundsin the middle or at the end of the word (vs. alliteration which is at the beginning) • Note: At the end of lines of poetry, this produces half-rhyme. • Example: Flash and flesh. Breed and bread.

  10. Consonance • Find the Consonance in Our Homemade Limerick. “Sometimes, I wish I could wash, My reds with my whites, Josh. In a flash they’d be done, If I washed them as one, But a pink they would be make as they swish swash, swish swash.

  11. Consonance “Sometimes, I wish I could wash, My reds with my whites, Josh. In a flash they’d be done, If I washed them as one, But a pink they would be make as they swish swash, swish swash. Red– Consonance

  12. Why are these important? • Alliteration, Assonance, and Consonance are all useful in literature because they create a general flow. • They all add a sense of lyricism to a poem, or a song. • Also, used in tongue twisters. Example: Sally sells sea shells by the sea shore.
