    Alliteration, Consonance,

    and Assonance
    Alliteration

    • Repetition of the same


    consonant sounds, usually at
    the beginning of the words

    • Example:
    - Should the glee-glaze-
    - In Death’s–stiff-stare.
    Alliteration

    • Find the alliteration in


    “Sweetness, Always”

    “Verses of pastry which melt


    into milk and sugar in the
    mouth.”
    Alliteration

    • Yay, you found the alliteration!


    …Hopefully

    “Verses of pastry which melt


    into milk and sugar in the
    mouth.”
    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.
    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.”
    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!
    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.
    Consonance

    • Close repetition of the same


    consonant sounds, preceded by
    different vowel sounds
    • Note: At the end of lines of
    poetry, this produces half-
    rhyme.
    • Example:
    Flash and flesh.
    Breed and bread.
    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.
    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
    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.
