2. Examples of alliteration are used in poetry, prose, sayings, and advertising to emphasize words and add rhythm. Famous poets like Tennyson and Kipling made use of alliteration in their works.
3. There are rules for what constitutes proper alliteration and exceptions involving certain consonant sounds. Alliteration twisters and examples in different genres are provided to illustrate its use.
Alliteration & assonance

Ed Powerpoint
Figurative language uses words or phrases in non-literal ways to make comparisons, add emphasis or clarity, or make writing more interesting. There are several types of figurative language including similes, metaphors, personification, alliteration, assonance, hyperbole, and onomatopoeia. Similes use like or as to compare two unlike things, while metaphors make comparisons without using like or as. Idioms are phrases whose meanings cannot be determined literally but are understood through common usage.

They also ask about the rhyme scheme and to identify poetic devices used.
Alliteration as a stylistic device
Alliteration is a literary device where words are used in close proximity to each other that start with the same consonant sound, usually at the beginning of words or stressed syllables. It was commonly used in Old English poetry as a metrical device where the initial consonant sounds were repeated throughout lines. While alliteration is still used today for musicality in poems, songs, nursery rhymes and advertisements, it served as an essential part of the structure of Old English poetry where it helped carry the rhythm.

Alliteration The repetition of the first consonant sound in a group of words Example: If Ma could put her arm across my shoulder sometime, or stroke back my hair or sing me to sleep, making the soft sounds, the reassuring noises, that no matter how brittle and sharp life seemed, no matter how brittle and sharp she seemed, she was still my ma who loved me… From Out of the Dust ( p. 148, “Motherless”)
