Answer 1

In Edgar Allan Poe's poem, "The Bells", he uses repetition and assonance throughout the whole poem. Some examples are "...bells, bells, bells" and "...tinkle, tinkle, tinkle". This gives a gloomy or eerie feeling. In "She Walks in Beauty" by Lord Byron, he uses alliteration in the following quote : "Of cloudless climes and starry skies". This helps us see how elegant this poem is and how much he likes the girl.
