"Swung my club to give it a whack!" This lines contains what type of sound device? A) Consonance B) Assonance C) Internal Rhyme D) Onomatopoeia

OpenStudy (neonumbrella5115):

Have you ruled out any choices?

OpenStudy (heart_offire):

yes c

OpenStudy (neonumbrella5115):

Yes. :) Do you know what Consonance is versus Assonance?

OpenStudy (heart_offire):

consonance is a consonant sound repeated throughout the line and assonance is the same thing except with vowel sounds

OpenStudy (neonumbrella5115):

Correct! So I don't hear any repeating consonant sounds, do you? So I would rule that out.

OpenStudy (angiedoesschool2275):

I would help but I see @neonumbrella5115 has this all taken care of :), good luck @heart_offire !

OpenStudy (heart_offire):

i forgot what onomatopiea was

OpenStudy (neonumbrella5115):

An onomatopoeia is a word that represents a sound.

OpenStudy (neonumbrella5115):

Like POW BANG BOOM

OpenStudy (angiedoesschool2275):

So, onomatopiea creates a sound effect of a certain thing. It makes the subject more interesting. Here is some help on that if you need anything else :): http://literarydevices.net/onomatopoeia/

OpenStudy (heart_offire):

i choose B because of the vowel sound in club and swung

OpenStudy (neonumbrella5115):

I can see why you chose that, but I feel like the best answer would be D as whack is an onomatopoeia.

OpenStudy (angiedoesschool2275):

Also @neonumbrella5115 , do you think you could help me with a quick question I have? I tried to message you but it states you only allow people you have fanned to message you. No one I know is online at the moment to help me besides you and I need the answer quickly to it. Its okay if you have no time! :)

OpenStudy (neonumbrella5115):

Yeah sure! @Angiedoesschool2275
