A - stared and staredConsonance is the use of repeating similar sounds (especially consonants) in close proximity. Stared and stared follows those rules.

Explanation:ln a work of literature, what is an antagonist?
fine rosettes of lime,and infestedwith tiny white sea-lice,and underneath two or threerags of green weed hung down.While his gills were breathing inthe terrible oxygen--the frightening gills,Explanation:Assonance is the repeated use of the same vowel/ vowel sounds in near proximity in a line of poetry. This literary device consist of the repetition of the diphtho ng in any un-rhymed words in poetry.Elizabeth Bishop's poem "The Fish" also uses this device in many of her lines. The lines "fine rosettes of lime,and infestedwith tiny white sea-lice,and underneath two or threerags of green weed hung down.While his gills were breathing inthe terrible oxygen--the frightening gills,the use of assonance is seen the most. Though there are no rhyming words in them, they contains more of assonance.   Assonance is seen in the use of the "i", "o",  fine rosettes of lime,and infestedwith tiny white sea-lice,and underneath two or threerags of green weed hung down.While his gills were breathing inthe terrible oxygen--the frightening gills.

the little rented boatExplanation:Consonance is the repetitive use of consonant sounds in a phrase or sentence.  In this phrase, Elizabeth abuses of the sound of the consonant "T" to create the intended sense of rhythm. The sound of the consonant shows up 3 times in the sentence and it is used in short words to accentuate its sound.
