            Figurative Language - Alliteration

 

Alliteration happens when words that start with the same sound (not just the sane letter) are used repeatedly in a phrase or sentnece.  The sound is usually a consonant and he words do not have to right next to each other.  

 

For example: 

1. I had to hurry home where grandma was waiting for  her waffles. 

 

2. Please put away your paints and practice the piano.

Onomatopeia is the process of creating a word that phonetically imitates, resemebles or suggests the sound that it describes. 

 

For example:

 "roar" , " tick tock", "chirp" , "zoom"
