Alliteration & Personification | English

After finishing off the Similes and Metaphors we continue to the next task which was Alliteration & Personification, this post will show the tasks I completed on this work and hopefully teaching you something new.

Alliteration - Alliteration is when a consonant sound is repeated over and over. 

E.g The time ticked tediously by. The warm wind wafted across the window.

Highlight the Alliterations in the following sentences:

The sun sizzled the swimmers skin.

I accidently ate an awful apple.

Beth borrowed Barry’s books before biology. 

Slipping and sliding, I stumbled in the snow and slush.

Many mysterious men mumbled messages.

The gallant goat gobbled gobs of garbage greedily. 

The rapidly rising river rushed rampantly.

Finishing the sentence with our own alliterations:

My own Personification sentences:

What have I learnt?

I learned how to personify and give non-human qualities to no-human things and also figure out what non-human thing was given the qualities that humans have the capability of, also knowing how to use alliterations in my sentences.
