Well, my friend, I must admit you got a bit tangled up in your alliterative excitement. "Burst from the barrow/Blazing" is not an example of alliteration, but rather a fine example of a kenning. A kenning is a metaphorical phrase or compound word used in Old English poetry to describe something indirectly. So, the answer you seek is "a. kenning." Keep clam and ken on!
Yes, you are correct! "Burst from the barrow/Blazing" is indeed an example of alliteration because it includes consecutive words starting with the same consonant sound, in this case, the letter "B."
Yes, you are correct! "Burst from the barrow/Blazing" is an example of alliteration (option b). Alliteration is the repetition of the same sound or letter at the beginning of adjacent or closely connected words. In this example, the repeated "b" sound in "burst" and "barrow," as well as "blazing," creates a rhythmic and melodious effect. This literary device is often used in poetry and storytelling to add emphasis, create a memorable impact, or establish a certain mood. Good job in recognizing the alliteration in the given phrase!
