assonance• the repetition of vowel sounds to create internal rhyming
within phrases or sentences
• For example, in the phrase "Do you like blue?", the /u:/ sound ("o"/"ou"/"ue“) is repeated within the sentence
and is assonant.
Where is assonance in these two examples from literature?
Ex: Dead in the middle of little Italy, little did we know that we riddled two middle men who didn't do diddily.“
Ex: I bomb atomically—Socrates' philosophies and hypotheses can't define how I be droppin' these mockeries.
