IS IT #1 METAPHOR?

Answer 1

@Mertsj @Saybah @Compassionate

Answer 2

2. Alliteration

Answer 3

2

Answer 4

Alliteration is when all or most of the words begin in the same letter.

Answer 5

It can't be alliteration because the 'c' sound in crooked and crack is different than the 'c' sound in ceiling.

Answer 6

Sound has nothing to do with it.

Answer 7

Alliteration - Repetition of a consonant sound or sounds at the beginning of a series of words.
For example: Baa, Baa, Black sheep

Answer 8

Sound does have something to do with alliteration...

Answer 9

Then it's 4. It's not a metaphor.

Answer 10

It is alliteration

Answer 11

No, it is not an alliteration. An alliteration is repetition of a consonant sound or sounds at the beginning of a series of words. The 'c' words in the sentence do not all have the same sound. @Mertsj

Answer 12

4. free verse is the answer.

Answer 13

Alliteration is ruled because of what you explained. Simile compares things with word "like" and "as." A Metaphor is "a figure of speech in which a word or phrase is applied to an object or action to which it is not literally applicable." SO that's why it's free verse.
