Alliteration and Rhyme Scheme in Poetry

The video tutorial covers the concepts of rhyme scheme and alliteration in poetry. It begins with an introduction to these concepts, explaining that rhyme scheme is the pattern of rhymes at the end of each line, while alliteration is the repetition of initial consonant sounds. The teacher uses Robert Frost's poem 'Nothing Gold Can Stay' as an example, reading it aloud and then analyzing its rhyme scheme and alliteration. The rhyme scheme is identified as AABBCCDD, and examples of alliteration are highlighted throughout the poem. The tutorial provides a clear and practical demonstration of how to identify these poetic devices.
