Effects of alliteration in poems

Alliteration is a big effect on poems because it brings short and strong meanings for example: building burning, twirling turning, bullying driving and leaving diving. These short words are strong because the words being used is relevant to the subject of the poem.  Even the short words used can also be a metaphor like twirling turning meaning the papers falling out of the world trade centre after impact, bully driving can mean the terrorist as the bully flying the plane into the building And leaving diving will mean the people in the building leaving life and jumping off.  So alliteration is a big effect on poems, it has big emotional meanings to them.

    As we discussed today, this paragraph is packed with interesting (and valid) ideas about the poem. What is needed now is for you to be more systematic about the way you express these ideas.

    I suggest you write one paragraph for each of the language devices and in each state the effect it has, give a strong example, and explain how that example works to add meaning to the poem as a whole.

    I look forward to reading your updates.
