Lesson+2+Alliteration

**This is a lovely lesson leading us into the use of alliteration. ** "City slicker" is an example of alliteration because the "c" and "s" make the same sound, while //cake city// (even though it starts with the same letter)is not.
 * Alliteration is the repetition of a beginning sound, not the first letter.

A few examples of alliteration: From Rudyard Kipling's, //The Jungle Book//: "I will go to the west wall," Kaa whispered. This is the hour of pride and power, /Talon and tusk and claw**.
