Squelch, slap, soggy
curt cuts

Alliteration is the repetition of sounds at the beginning of a group of words. In this case there are two different groups of words that could be examples of alliteration. The first is in the section "the squelch and slap of soggy meat". The /s/ sound is repeated at the beginning three times in this part of the excerpt. The second is "curt cuts". In this two word phrase, the hard /c/ sound is repeated. 
Keep in mind when identifying alliteration it's important to hear the sound the word makes. Sometimes when you just look for a repeated letter it is incorrect. For example, the circular cheese is cut. Even though a majority of words begin with c, none of them begin with the same sound.

“ Where there is no law , there is no freedom “
Svetllana [295]

Answer:

Some people may agree because there is an understanding in certain quarter that rules and regulations curtails individual liberty, of not allowing people to live as they please by placing restrictions on their day-to-day activities. But it is a total misconception about the working of a societal system regulated by law.

Others may disagree because freedom is the power to live by your own judgement, which includes the right to choose your own values and the actions by which to achieve them. That includes the right to what you create and the right to choose what to do with it.
