As we have already read and known about the Figure Of Speech – Alliteration in our previous blogs, we would just brush up with some definitions. So alliterations are rhetorical style devices that would generally consist of repetitive use of the same consonant sound in the beginning, middle, and end of the sentence. The repetitive consonant is close in succession.
