Analyzing and Interpreting Literature / Unit 6 AIL 0532 short lesson, about 20 seconds
Alliteration
Captions available
The idea
The glossary defines alliteration as the repetition of a consonant sound, with its own example storm strewn sea. The repeated sound falls at the beginnings of words or stressed syllables. Consonants at the start are the mark, and the letter matters less than the sound.
In practice
Repeated consonants, at the start.
Where people slip
Sound repeats, not spelling.
