Detailed explanation-2: -"Be a worthy worker and work will come.” “Billions of bilious blue blistering barnacles!” “Who are wise in love, love most, say least.” “When the rich wage war, it’s the poor who die."
Detailed explanation-3: -Repetition: The word smile has been used thrice: All I did was smile and smile and smile. Alliteration: Repetition of the letter s: But all I said was see you soon, Amma.
Detailed explanation-4: -The repetition of initial stressed, consonant sounds in a series of words within a phrase or verse line. Alliteration need not reuse all initial consonants; “pizza” and “place” alliterate. Example: “With swift, slow; sweet, sour; adazzle, dim” from Gerard Manley Hopkins’s “Pied Beauty.” Browse poems with alliteration.
