It helped to make the descriptions stick more to the reader
Explanation:
Alliteration refers to the repetition of the initial consonant letters in a string of words. The author's use of alliterations in the poem Beowulf helped to impress the depth of the damage done by Beowulf to Grendel on the minds of the readers. Below is an excerpt of the description:
A body-wound suffered
The direful demon, damage incurable
Was seen on his shoulder, his sinews were shivered,
<em>His </em><em>body did burst</em><em>. </em>
The repetition of the same letters impresses th idea on the mind of the reader. Indeed the damage done to Grendel as great for even his sinews were visibly wounded and his body suffered some tears too.
Themes? Or what are you trying to say here
The correct answer is D. irony.
Irony is a figure of speech used when you want to state something completely different than what you actually mean. For example, you can ironically say that money is not important (even though you really think it is). Even though sarcasm and irony are sometimes similar, sarcasm is mocking, but not necessarily using opposite meanings.
