Jaguar’s advertisement, the slogan “Don’t dream it. Drive it” uses alliteration to act as a memory aid to help viewers remember the product and make them more inclined to buy it. It emphasizes the “dr” sound, which is similar to a “j” sound, so the slogan sounds like the product itself.
In Land Rover’s advertisement, “The best four by four by far,” the company uses alliteration to create a musical effect that makes the viewer more inclined to remember the product. Its song-like quality is easy to remember (and sometimes hard to forget!).
The poem, “Books”, by Mrs. Falconer is creating a jealous, strong tone. She often uses alliteration, particularly hard sounds like c, p, and t to create this tone. For example, when she wrote, “telling terrifying tales,” “cuddled on the comfy couch,” and “pored over ponderous pages”, she was trying to draw attention to the specific situation that bothered her and prompted her to want to read, so she emphasized hard consonants to demonstrate frustration and gritty determination to read. This use of alliteration clearly communicates the appropriate tone, but it is a little overused and draws the attention to the alliteration instead of the content of the poem.
