Answer:

Alliteration

Explanation:

The repetition of initial sounds in the phrase "wild and whirling words" is an example of alliteration. Alliteration is employed by authors in order to provide a melodic rhythm to a text.

Brums [2.3K]

Answer:Peer Pressure Kept Them From the Party

Ghoul and ghost were way up high on a walnut tree limb.

Owl flew up, intending to go to the haunted house, straight in.

Jack-o-lantern head saw his friends, and climbed up to join them.

What are we doing here? He asked his friends in a whisper slim.

We’re scared of the party, Owl said as he took a bumpy limb seat.

Skeleton came outside the house and tried to entice them with a treat.

But the four stayed up there the entire Halloween night.

None could get over their intense peer pressure fright.
