Lesson 38 Alliteration- "Tasty Tacos"

 Alliteration is when two or more words that start with the same sound are used repeatedly in a phrase or a sentence. The repeated sound creates the alliteration not the same letter. Example: "tasty tacos" is considered an alliteration but "thirty typist" is not because the "th" and "ty" don't sound the same.  Alliteration is a type of repetition-a repetition of sounds.

Alliteration can make your words more engaging and entertaining-especially if you are trying to engage an audience and you want them to pay more attention. Also used in advertising, musicians and to express emotion.
