devices such as Alliteration, Consonance

and Assonance are employed(used). Write

down the line and the name of the poetic

device used in it.

“ You will hear wagging tongues and

hissing sounds As the slimy creatures

make their sounds.

They keep planning their moves and

counter-moves Hiding in the building's

numerous grooves.

Should you one day find a snake coiled

around your chair You can no longer

stand by shocked and blankly stare

Cause if you do,you risk being swallowed

alive.

In the corporate jungle only the lean and

mean survive.”​

Alliteration:

You can no longer stand by shocked and blankly stare

Assonance:

Should you one day find a snake coiled around your chair

Consonance:

You will hear wagging tongues and  hissing sounds

Explanation:

  • Alliteration is used in the line 'you can...stare' it involves repetition of consonant sound 's' at the beginning of two or more words('stand, shocked, and stare') immediately succeeding each other or at a short interval. It helps in creating a rhythmic effect and grab the readers' attention.
  • Assonance is employed in the line 'they keep...moves' as it involves repetition of identical vowel sound 'o' but begin with different consonants(should, you, coiled, your). This assists in creating rhythm in poetry.
  • Consonance is employed in the line 'you...sounds' as it includes repetition of consonant sound 'g' in 'wagging, tongues, hissing.' It makes the text appealing and develop rhythm.
