Alliteration
Alliteration is where words starting with the same letter
or sound are used together in a sentence, such as Small,
Square Snack. One 'Fantastically Friendly Fuser' has
suggested you might see it outside a building on a sign
that says: “My Marvellous Migrating Mammal Mansion”..!
Alliteration can add interest to a description and brings a
kind of drama even to a short title.
