“ You will hear wagging tongues and

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

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.
