give yourself a 100%: Alliteration is a literary device where the author repeats the same beginning letter or beginning sound to add interest or emphasis to a work. (Well, that's my definition, and it's probably not how an English teacher would define it, but I think it's accurate. Let me know if it's not!) So here is your new assignment (Please read the rules carefully) : You are to create such a work (it can be 1 - 5 sentences). It can be a statement, an observation, a story, a poem, or a song, whatever! But use alliteration. And guess what? Not just any alliteration. You must use the beginning letter(or sound) of your first name (or whatever name you go by) as your repeated sound. Now if your name is, say, Brenda, you might choose to use "b" or you might choose to use "br." It's up to you.
So here's a quick example:
Daphne delighted in dancing with David daily, but she dreaded the day that Dave dipped her too deeply and dropped her to her death.
If you really have fun with this, you might want to do another with your same letter, or with the beginning of your middle or last name. But do the name you are known by first.
I'm ready to read!

Bertram Blair, being a bad boy, bored billions of bean-sized holes in his bed. By and by, his blithe young brother, Bradley, blabbed to their babysitter. So the babysitter bid Bert bend over, and poor Bertram's behind became badly bruised.
Cara Carlisle cautiously climbed up the crooked cliff, carefully craning her curly cranium to critically canvass the cruel crevice carved into the colorful canyon.
Sally Smith smiled as she sang a silly song and swaggered to the side of the stage.
Coca-cola can cause cavorting in even cautious consumption, cause it contains capacious quantities of caffiene.....

Bravo for Bethany. But Bethany broke out all the "B's" before Ben broke in.
Merrily, Morgan mangaged to mash many marshmallows. Mother may mind madly momentarily.
But Ben, "B's" are bountiful blessings; From Bangladesh to Budapest they aBound. Bring bunches of "B's", brainy brother!
Ethan eagerly eats easter eggs even in the early evening.
Bethany,
I'm blown away, could be better I bluntly say bye.
Sam was strolling on the shore when suddenly, six seagulls swooped silently down on Sam (not me), shooting seeds out of their beaks. "You have sinned!" snorted Sam (he was half pig). With that, the seagulls soared swiftly up in the sky.
Ted's tomatoes took too much time to toast so Ted tossed the tainted toaster into the trash.
His hopes of having his own hot helping of home-grown harvest was now just a hapless hash.
Refraining from a ruinous reaction was a refined response for Ted, who was routinely rash.
Horses love hay , however ,Hannah loves horses.Hopefully horses love Hannah.
