In the novel Hate That Cat by Sharon Creech, Jack grows tremendously throughout the course of his school year. He grows tremendously through the extended teaching of Miss Stretchberry, and this teaching allows him to learn more and become a better poet. One way she helps him became a better poet is by teaching him about the use of alliteration in poems (14). This helps Jack expand his knowledge of all of the different literary devises you can use in a poem, which also gets him thinking more and about what all and how he could use this literary devise in his poems. The second way she helps him grow as a poet is by teaching him about onomatopoeias (19).
So he keeps the promise and cremates Sam McGee in cold of the night. I think the most important literary devices used in the poem are alliteration, personification and repetition. One device used in the poem is Alliteration and it happens when certain words have sounds
He not only uses alliteration as in “dripping dusk and drizzling dawn,” he also uses assonance, the repetition of vowel sounds, in “sludge and mud.” This repetition of sounds adds a new dimension to the descriptions. It not only creates a picture in the mind, it also creates harmony in the

Allusion is reference to a well-known person, place, event, literary work or piece of art; it’s used to help clarify and emphasise certain ideas. For example, “He now proposed to narrate the principal incidents of that poem… And so for the rest of that night the Homeric demigods again walked the earth”. The Iliad is a heroic poem originally written by Homer around 8th century BC, it’s the story of the Trojan war and the weakness of Achilles' heel. This was used among the group of characters to pass the time and take their minds off the lack of food and weather conditions.
An example of this is when Tennyson writes "HALF a league, half a league, Half a league onward". This use of repetition puts emphasis on the words creating a feeling of encouragement for the soldiers to keep going. The use of words "half a league" also illustrates how the soldiers went into the battle. This quote also creates a rhythm for the poem. We also see this when he writes.

Alliteration is used two times throughout the soliloquy to represent one’s emotional state of being and one’s mental state of processing things. For example: In line number 5 “A love so riveting ruthless and right we would be Europe’s glistening stars” narrated how Ophelia saw her relationship with Hamlet so outworldly that they would be Europe’s most famous love story. Her mental state had her thinking that she and Hamlet could have been stars both figuratively and symbolically had they succeeded in finally being together.
Theodore Roethke and Rita Dove used simile and alliteration, from the quote that I used. In “My Papa’s waltz,” the author used “like” to compare how hard it was for the child (and the dad was drunk) and alliteration of /s/ (still and shirt). In “Grape Sherbet,” the author used alliteration of /t/ (trying and taste) and alliteration of /s/, “swirled snow.” I think that the poem “My Papa’s waltz” has more literary devices than “Grape Sherbet,” but I also think that “Grape sherbet” have more complex theme than “My Papa’s
Alliteration is a rhetorical device which is a number of words having the same first consistent with similar sound, usually occur closely together. This was demonstrated in line 234- 236, the Character Benedick repeat the word thanks for the reader to be able to emphasis the mood of the character as well as the mood or tone for the reader to visualize it. Alliteration can sometime create bouncy quality that can makes the writing bright and cheerful even if it not intent to be for the character. For instead line 244-245, when Benedick says “With anger, with fever or with hunger, my lord, not with love” (Much Ado About Nothing pg. 21). Even though Benedick was serious about what he was saying to Don Pedro, the audience see it as he is saying

It’s said that Thomas was an alcoholic and it was deemed that the cause of his death was because of the obsession and also it was accentuated with the grief he felt for his father approaching death. The form of the poem is elegy whereby Thomas used the poem by expressing his grief for his father’s impending death. It is vital to know the poet state of mind in order to relate or understand the poem. Therefore, descriptive language used by the poet should be focused to further know the poet’s is trying to impose.
Alliteration/Assonance Alliteration Alliteration is a literary device where then first letter or sound of the word is repeated for effect. When alliteration is used, it is commonly presenting a more dramatic effect and/or a reflective description. Additionally, the alliteration is commonly used to call attention to a phrase and help the poem flow together smoothly. A good example of alliteration is "Peter Piper picked a peck of pickled peppers".
Another poetic device Williams utilizes is simile. A simile provides a comparing of two objects using the word like or as. Williams’s line “Clap along if you feel like a room without a roof” (Line 6), compares the audience to a room without a roof which is an unlimited feeling of happiness. In addition, Williams uses alliteration in his song. Alliteration is the consonant sounds that recur in a line.
