Assonance

Assonance Vs. Rhyme Scheme• What is the difference between
Assonance and Rhyme Scheme? • Although Rhyme Scheme is also the
same sounds, in rhyming those sounds are usually found at the end of the lines of the poem.
• Assonance can be found all throughout a poem, no matter where in the line.

Consonance
• Close repetition of the same consonant sounds, preceded by different vowel sounds
• Note: At the end of lines of poetry, this produces half-rhyme.
• Example: Flash and flesh. Breed and bread.

Why are these important?
• Alliteration, Assonance, and Consonance are all useful in literature because they create a general flow.
• They all add a sense of lyricism to a poem, or a song.
• Also, used in tongue twisters. Example: Sally sells sea shells by
the sea shore.
