An alliteration is the use of a series of three or more words that start one or
two letters that are the same. Some invented examples could be: “Sally the slithering
snake, snuck secretly towards the stables”. </span>

</span>
<span>There are also many tongue
twisters composed by alliterations, like: “She sells sea-shells down by the sea-shore”;
or “Peter Piper Picked a Peck of Pickled Peppers”. </span>

Story : A Dog’s Tale by Mark Twain
4. Read this sentence from the selection.
“Whenever she heard a large word she said it over to herself many times, and so was able to keep it until there was a dogmatic gathering in the neighborhood.”
In this sentence the word dogmatic is used as —
• an insightful simile
• a descriptive metaphor
• a humorous play on words
• an illuminating allusion
5. In the last paragraph the narrator says his mother would “fetch out a long word.” The connotations of the word fetch remind the reader that the narrator’s mother —
• is well educated
• is a dog
• knows lots of big words
• likes to show off
8. What is ironic about the author’s mother showing off with her knowledge of the word unintellectual?
• Her child knew she didn’t understand the word correctly.
• The strangers all already knew the meaning of the word.
• As any intellectual would know, the word should be “nonintellectual.”
• She did not know any synonyms for the word.
9. Which type of person is most like the author’s mother?
• A high-performing student with an excellent memory for words
• A very verbal person who always has a quick answer that sounds good
• A dishonest person who tells lies on a regular basis
• A person who likes dogs a lot and works at a veterinary clinic
It provides a different opinion on topics that people believe in and to better what we do as a society and to better ourselves we must challenge our thinking and be open to new experiences because that is how we learn
A sonnet is the most structured kind of poem of those four.
