In the autobiographical novel “<em>I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings</em>” by Maya Angelou (1969), the author has used the stylistic device called <u>alliteration</u>. Alliteration is used when a number of words, having the same first consonant sound, occur close together in a series. The purpose of using this stylistic device is <u>to focus</u> on word sounds to further develop a picture, emotion, or sound. A clear example of the use of alliteration and its purpose in this passage is the following phrase “<em>If the morning </em><em>s</em><em>ounds and </em><em>s</em><em>mells were touched with the </em><em>s</em><em>upernatural…</em>” (the repetition of /s/ sound). Here, <u>alliteration</u> focuses on words related to the senses (<em>sounds, smells, supernatural</em>) to describe “<em>the late afternoon</em>”.
