Poets use alliteration to create musicality in their writing and make lines more memorable through emphasis and appealing sounds. Examples are provided from Lewis Carroll's "The Walrus and the Carpenter" poem and from the novel "The Giver." Alliteration is also commonly used in newspaper headlines, magazine titles, advertising slogans, sports team names, book titles, and tongue twisters.

6. from “The Raven”
by Edgar Allen Poe
Once upon a midnight dreary, while I pondered weak and
weary,
Over many a quaint and curious volume of forgotten lore.
And the silken sad uncertain rustling of each purple curtain
Thrilled me—filled me with fantastic terrors never felt before;
Deep into the darkness peering, long I stood there
wondering, fearing,
Doubting dreaming dreams no mortal ever dared to dream
before.
