A Critique of Alliteration in Iambic Pentameter
I had a few hours of sleep last night before getting up and writing a paper. When I had finished, it was already early morning and if I had slept, there would be no waking up for class. So, I went down to the UW SWAP shop to pick up a few computers that I intend for Christmas gifts. After my Greek Painting class, I dropped Stephanie off at work just in time for Arts of Japan. Once class got out, I had never felt more ready for a nap and fancied this critique on alliteration.
