Question

hich excerpt from Carl Sandburg’s "The Wedding Procession of the Rag Doll and the Broom Handle and Who Was in It" includes repetition and alliteration?

Answer 1

The excerpt has been taken from the story - "The Wedding Procession of the Rag Doll and the Broom Handle and Who Was in It" written by Carl Sandberg. The story was popular for its assonance, alliteration, and repetition of words.

Alliteration is a stylistic figurative and a literary device that is identified by the repetitive sound of the first letter in a given passage that has a series of multiple words.

The passage from the story that is quite an example of alliteration and repetition is - "There was a wedding when the Rag Doll married the Broom Handle. It was a grand wedding with one of the grandest processions ever seen at a rag doll wedding. And we are sure no broom handle ever had a grander wedding procession when he got married."
