question for all y'all #ELA #teachers whether #middleschool or #highschool

do you teach Alliteration an an example of #FigurativeLanguage ?

it's on some lists as figurative language, but I dont see it that way. same as rhyme. it's a sound device. but apparently there is a difference of opinion in the world, and I'm curious if anyone has any thoughts they'd like to share.

As an autistic person, I have a tendency to take things literally. It can be hilarious (and sometimes frustrating) when people use idioms or figurative language and I don't get the joke. #autism #literalthinking #figurativelanguage But hey, at least I'm never confused about what you really mean! #clearcommunication #nofuzzymeaning
