Question

In 3-5 sentences, write about the author's repetitive use of the "s" sound and its significance in the excerpt.

Answer 1

Answer:

The author made use of consonance in the poem.

Explanation:

In the poem, "Out Where The West Begins," by Arthur Chapman, the poet applied consonance, a form of alliteration. Consonance is the repetition of consonants anywhere in a set of consecutive words. The consonant, 's', was repeated several times by the poet. This repetition is significant because it creates a form of rhythm that makes the poem enjoyable and helps the reader remember it.

“Out where the handclasp's a little stronger,

Out where the smile dwells a little longer,

That’s where the West begins;

Out where the sun is a little brighter.”
