Answer:

1. ...if God should only withdraw his hand from the<em> floodgate, it would immediately fly open, and the fiery floods of the fierceness</em><em> </em>and wrath of God would rush forth with inconceivable fury...

2. ...and if your strength were ten thousand times greater than it is, yea, ten thousand times greater than the strength of the stoutest, sturdiest devil...

Explanation:

Alliteration refers to the use of a particular letter of the alphabet in a string of words in a phrase. Jonathan Edwards who was a remarkable preacher at his time made extensive use of this figure of speech in his work, <em>Sinners in the Hands of an Angry God</em> to make important points which he wanted the reader to remember.

Alliteration is seen in the first phrase above where he explained that it was as a result of God's mercy that humans have not faced his fiery wrath. Letter<em> f</em> was used. In the second phrase, he explained that the strength of humans could not be matched with that of the least devil in hell. The <em>s</em> letter was used for alliteration.

ROMEO: Act 1, Scene 5
Elena-2011 [213]

Answer:O, she doth teach the torches to burn bright!

It seems she hangs upon the cheek of night

Like a rich jewel in an Ethiope's ear,

Beauty too rich for use, for earth too dear!

So shows a snowy dove trooping with crows,

As yonder lady o'er her fellows shows.

The measure done, I'll watch her place of stand,

And, touching hers, make blessed my rude hand.

Did my heart love till now? forswear it, sight!

For I ne'er saw true beauty till this night.

Explanation:lol
