Alliteration is awesome!


In class this week, we learned that another type of figurative language is alliteration. An example of this would be a sentence such as the next one. Tupal the tiny turtle trudges through the ten foot tide. As you can see, all you have to do to create alliteration is use the repetition of a beginning consonant sound. Here's another example using the "s" sound. Silly Sally saddled up her horse and sauntered home. Improve my examples or create your own. It would be great to see what you can come up with. Thanks for taking the time to post! We appreciate it!

  1. We he make the game ending tackle?

    Troy tried to tackle the ten ton tailback. Touchdown! Tragedy.

    That's one of my better ones from a quick little writing block. As you can see, my football career wasn't the greatest.
