But the one which I always liked (and still like it... the reason yuo will know soon)... It's Aliteration. This figure of speech means the repetition of the same sounds or of the same kinds of sounds at the beginning of words. Or the use of the same consonant or vowel at beginning of each word. For eg: - (Quite famous) She sells sea shells on the sea shore. You see, there is a lot of 's' repetition. Not onnly in words but also the 's' sound. It is very easy to find an alliteration. Infact, whenever i was unable to find any other figure of speech in a sentence, i would end upo with alliteration; to which my Teacher used to get damm angry... But I am sure readers, there would be certain things of your childhood or your salad days which you are able to remeber vividly even today... The alliteration figure of speech is one such for me. Someone has rightly said "Some memories stand still in your silent times" (Oops! another alliteration for 's'... :)... ) All the best guys and gals...
