Today in our group we finished gathering our examples of alliteration and finding their meanings.
Our Technician started wrapping up our power point presentation. We disscused how we want to present our information so that it would be entertaining and still help our classmates retain the meanings of alliteration, assonance and consonance.
Before we got assigned this particular assignment i did not quiet understand the meanings of these items (alliteration, assonance, consonance) but now that i worked within my group and we collaborated what we thought it meant and how these examples stressed the arguments of the author i began to understand their purpose.
The idea of having us work in groups was great, it is helping gain understandings of things i could not figure out on my own.
Im excited to see everyone elses presentations.

Hey Devon We Won Districts!!!!!!!!!!!!!YAY!! I Love You!
Hay! finally I can post something without the computer acting up on me! I have been trying to post something since friday but it wouldnt go! Well anyways I wanted to tell you that I need the information for the project and that if I dont get it then we are doomed! lol. But I really need the reason for the quots. "why was it written? What is the arguement? what does it portray?"
Here are the quotes:
Consonance:
Pg. 110- “…Testimonial of character and capacity…”
--Strong sound to emphasize strong words.
Alliteration:
Pg. 21- “The mighty mastiffs, the monster cats, the tower-like men and women of the other.
-- This pectoral choice of diction creates a big and strong feeling to the reader. We feel that the argument she is trying to portray is that Jane, when she reads Gulliver Travel, feels strong and Mighty, and Mastiff, kind of like Men.
Alliteration:
I felt physically weak broken down, but my worse ailment was an unuttered wretchedness of mind: wretchedness which keep drawing from me silent tears; no sooner had I wiped out one salt drop from my cheek than another followed.
-- It gives the sentence a cacophony tone. The “w” in the words “wretched” and “which” has cacophony. It argues the fact of how you get exhausted, worn out when you are having difficulties in your life.
Alliteration:
Pg. 144- “Like heath that, in the wilderness, the wild wind, whirls away.”
Whimsical feeling
Consonance:
Pg. 23- “There is a thought that for strength should avail me.
Th(the sound) prepares for the emphasis of the word strength which in an advice Bessie gives to Jane having what seemed like a mother-daughter moment and relationship.
Assonance:
pg. 40- “She was a woman or robust frame, square-shouldered and strong limbed, not tall and, though stout, not obese.
-- The “O” is stressed in this description of Mrs. Reed to give the reader an idea of how she is. Mrs. Reed is a painful figure.
Call devon and get my number then call me and tell me what you got my internet connection keeps failing every so often. Sorry.
Please hurry.
I just need you to elaborate on the explanations that are short. Iras(I can't spell) did most odf them two or three Devon did.
