OpenStudy (mynameisnemo):

Can you tell me what alliteration is?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

sadly no

OpenStudy (mynameisnemo):

Okay :) Do you know what any of those poetry vocab words mean?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I have bad memory

OpenStudy (mynameisnemo):

Don't worry about it :) I can still help you.

Alliteration is the repetition of the beginning sounds of words like.... Peter Piper Picked a Peck of Pickled Peppers. Do you see how the beginning sounds of the words are the same?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ya

OpenStudy (mynameisnemo):

Okay, do JUMP and STUNT have the same beginning sounds?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

no...

OpenStudy (mynameisnemo):

Okay :) so you can rule out alliteration.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok

OpenStudy (mynameisnemo):

Consonance is the repetition on consonant sounds (Repetition of sound of any letters other than A, E, I, O, or U)

OpenStudy (mynameisnemo):

I'll attach a file of an example.

OpenStudy (mynameisnemo):

OpenStudy (mynameisnemo):

Once you view that, let me know if you understand that concept and tell me if JUMP and STUNT have consonance.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i have to go

OpenStudy (mynameisnemo):

Okay, anyways alliteration is the repetition of vowel sounds, and onomatopoeia is words that sound like their actions. the answer is onomatopoeia.

OpenStudy (mynameisnemo):

I hope that I helped you :)
