What is Alliteration?
General alliteration is the repetition of the same letter or sound, at the beginning of adjacent or closely connected words. For example:
"Peter piper picked a peck of pickled peppers."
Alliteration is a craft, which offers many effects. It can draw the reader's attention to the text. It often adds to the rhythm of the story. It can also create a mood, depending on the connotation of the particular sound being emphasized.
