Question

Reread line 10-16. Identify the alliteration in this section (repetition of beginning sounds of words). What effect does the use of alliteration have in this section? (Book: The Flight of Icarus)

Answer 1

When two or more words which sound the same are found in a sentence, it is called alliteration.

A)

In the book Flight of Icarus, the following alliterations may be found:

Line 11: Minos May

Line 12: Try that

Line 14: Up all

Line 16: Daedalus then

B)

The alliterations almost drew no attention and didn't have any extraordinary artistic impression on those sections.

Cheers!
