Sound Devices in Literary Texts
- Sound devices enhance reading by creating visual imagery and influencing mood and tone.
- Alliteration: Repetition of initial consonant sounds in closely spaced words (e.g., "Peter Piper picked a peck of pickled peppers").
- Assonance: Repetition of vowel sounds that create internal rhymes (e.g., "A fleet of sleek, green geese flew over the trees").
- Consonance: Repetition of consonant sounds, often at the end of words (e.g., "Pitter-patter, the rain's gentle chatter").
- Cacophony: Jarring, discordant sounds that imply chaos (e.g., "The crowd erupted in a cacophony of shouts").
- Euphony: Pleasant sounds that provide a harmonious auditory experience (e.g., "The velvety tones of the violin filled the room").
- Onomatopoeia: Words that imitate natural sounds (e.g., "The thunder rumbled in the distance").
- Repetition: Reiterating words or phrases for rhythmic effect and emphasis (e.g., "The sun is shining, the sun is shining brightly").
- Rhyme: Similar or identical sounds, commonly at the ends of lines in poetry (e.g., "Roses are red, violets are blue").
