Alliteration is the repetition of the same or similar consonant sounds in words that appear close

together. Read the following aloud: “Hush, hush. Sink softly into the sweet stream of sleep" All the s sounds have a soothing effect on the listener. What is the effect the author achieves by using alliteration in “Jared is a blithering, bloated blowfish”?

Answer:

Read the excerpt below and answer the question. she dwelt among the untrodden ways beside the springs of dove, a maid whom there were none to praise and very few to love: a violet by a mossy stone half hidden from the eye! --fair as a star, when only one is shining in the sky. she lived unknown, and few could know when lucy ceased to be; but she is in her grave, and, oh, the difference to me! (wordsworth, “she dwelt among the untrodden ways”) which option explains a meaning implied by the use of the adjective untrodden in the excerpt? the maid was lost in the woods. the maid lived in a rural setting. the maid was a nature spirit. the maid suffered a life without joy.
