Discover the fascinating world of literary devices such as alliteration, assonance, consonance, and more. Alliteration involves grouping words with the same starting sound, while assonance focuses on repeated vowel sounds within words. Consonance highlights repeated consonant sounds, and couplets consist of two rhyming lines. You’ll also learn about oxymorons, like "jumbo shrimp," and the clever use of puns, where words with similar sounds have different meanings. Engage with these devices to enhance your writing and creativity!
