ALLITERATION
 An alliteration is a type of figurative language used when authors write
phrases and sentences that begin with the same letter sounds.
 This type of figurative language is often used in poetry and can be pleasing to
the reader
 The words in the phrase/sentence must mostly begin with the same SOUND, not
necessarily the same letter
 Examples:
 Gary guzzled his Gatorade as he galloped towards the gaping finish line.
 Timmy taught his sister Tina to tap dance on Tuesday.
 The wind whistled wildly as the war was won.
