An Example of Inferencing…. (A on page 38) IT SAYS I SAY AND SO… “A powerful monster, living down in the darkness, growled in pain, impatient…” (pg. 38, lines 1-2) The use of alliteration tends to create a mood in writing. I think the P and D probably add to the heaviness of the moment and help explain the setting for where we will meet Grendel, the monster. The mood, or feeling that is being conveyed by the alliteration that introduces us to Grendel, feels heavy. The use of the words, “powerful, pain, impatient” coupled with the heavy D sounds, “down and darkness” paint a perfect picture of the lair for “mankind’s enemy” …Grendel.
