AlliterationAlliteration Written – advertisements, poemsWritten – advertisements, poems

The repetition of consonant sounds, usually at the start of a word. Writers use this for several reasons: it helps draw our attention to a line in a poem or passage, or a particular image, and it can slow down our reading or speed up the words in order to create atmosphere. The last reason is that it makes headlines etc easier to remember.
