Onomatopoeia is one of the figures of speech that makes words out from sounds of objects or animals. These sound words represent what is being described or talked about. For example, "Bow-wow, the dogs bark" or "Ding-dong, the bells are ringing." Onomatopoeia is commonly used in poetry such as in William Shakespeare's The Tempest and Silence of the Lambs by Thomas Harris.
<em>His or her</em> agrees in number with <em>a musician </em>being both singular. However, in order to avoid the akward construction<em> </em><u><em>his or her,</em></u><em> "... musician</em><em>s</em><em> might sell </em><em>their</em><em> instruments..." </em>is a better option.
