Learning Competency ENGLC-la-2.3.1 Analyze sound devices

REMEMBER:

• ONOMATOPOEIA: a word(s) that imitates the natural sounds of a thing. It

creates a sound effect that mimics the thing described. Examples: During the
night, the rain pitter-pattered against my window-pane. It’s not unusual for a
dog to bark when guests arrive. With a boom, the building collapsed as the
observers stared in horror.

• ALLITERATION: a poetic device-beginning of words start with the same

consonant sound.
Examples: The summer sun slid down behind the ridge. Hurled headlong from
the turbulent sky Christy and Karl cut a ten-karat diamond.
• ASSONANCE: a poetic device - repetition of vowel sounds within words
Examples: In June, the moon fills my room with gloom. Try to light the fire.

• CONSONANCE: a poetic device - Repetition of internal or ending consonant

sounds of words close together. Example: I dumped my jacket and the locket in
the thick mud.
