Example: buzz, hiss, roar, woof • Hyperbole: an exaggeration that is so dramatic that no one would believe the statement is true. Example: He was so hungry he ate the whole cornfield for lunch. • Assonance: a resemblance of sound in words or syllables. Example: Fleet feet sweep by sleeping geese • Alliteration: the repetition of the same initial letter, sound, or group of sounds in a series of words. Alliteration includes tongue twisters. Example: Sally sells seashells by the seashore.
