<p>'''Online writing''' is a type of writing that is written and viewed on a computer, tablet, or a smart phone. Writing for digital media transforms traditional writing by adopting characteristics associated with [[wikipedia:Communication#Oral_communication|oral communication]]. Integral elements of online writing are connectivity, fluidity, interactivity, and value.<ref>Ferris, Sharmilla Pixy "Writing Electronically: The Effects of Computers on Traditional Writing." ''Journal of Electronic Publishing'' 8.1 (2002): 1. Journal of Electronic Publishing.Web. 9 July 2013.</ref></p>

Online is a unique form of writing which emphasizes interaction. Online media is not "static". This creates a unique experience to the user that differs from analog media.<ref>Carroll, Brian. Writing for digital media. New York, NY: Routledge, 2010. Print.</ref>
== Types of Online Writing ==
There are various types of online writing that are used. Some of these types of online writing include:
<ul>
<li>[[Blogging]]</li>
<li>Publishing</li>
<li>Social Media and Microblogging</li>
<li>[[Wiki]]
</ul>

== Blogging ==
Blogging is a type of online writing that either informs, or shares opinions. Personal Blogging can consist of writing about one's life, experiences, or "how to's." Informational Blogging allows people to receive unbiased information. Anyone can blog as long as they have a computer and internet.
===Personal Blogging===
Personal Blogging is a weblog that is an ongoing commentary or diary written by an individual.<ref>http://onecoolsitebloggingtips.com/2013/04/19/personal-blogs-tell-your-story/</ref> This type of blog allows you to write about any topic you want to write about. This blog is not limited, but it's a wide variety to the public. By using this blog, you can write your own style to your blog. People use personal blogs for online writing because they can communicate their knowledge to educate the public. However, this blog helps you see if blogging is comfortable for you.<ref>MacKenzie, Jacqui "Why Writers Should Have a Personal Blog." Social Media Today" (2012): Social Media Today. Web. 2013. </ref>

===Informational Blogging===
Informational Blogging is similar to personal blogging, although the primary purpose is to inform. Personal blogs tend to be biased, while informational blogging is used to relay an unbiased message. An example of informational blogging is Wikipedia.

== Publishing ==
Publishing refers to the act of making information available to the public. In regards to online writing, this would mean that information is published to an online source, such as a website or e-publication. <ref>[http://www.nationalarchives.gov.uk/information-management/our-services/what-is-publishing.htm What is publishing?], The National Archives, Retrieved 2014-04-23.</ref> In regards to online writing, the term electronic publishing, or e-publishing would be used. E-publishing is a type of publishing where information is published to an online source, such as a website or an email, a compact disk, or made available to an electronic reader, such as a Kindle, rather than published in a traditional printed book. There are both advantages and disadvantages to e-publishing. One advantage is that there is a faster turnaround time for writing to be published than with traditional printed works. While royalties tend to be higher when published electronically, a disadvantage is that electronically published works don't typically sell as many copies as traditional paper books. <ref>[http://www.wisegeek.org/what-is-e-publishing.htm What is E-Publishing?], Wise Geek, Retrieved 2014-04-23.</ref>

== Social Media and Microblogging ==
There are various forms of online writing with social media and microblogging. Some of these include Facebook, Twitter, and Tumblr.

===Social Media===
Social media is defined by Oxford dictionary as "websites and applications that enable users to create and share content or to participate in social networking." <ref>[http://www.oxforddictionaries.com/us/definition/american_english/social-media Oxford Dictionary.]</ref> When social media is mentioned, [http://www.twitter.com Twitter] and [http://www.facebook.com Facebook] are typically the first two websites that come to mind. While both of these websites are perfect examples of social media, there are social media networks geared specifically towards writers such as [http://www.writers-network.com Writers Network], [http://www.goodreads Goodreads], and [http://www.writertopia.com Writertopia]. <ref>Allen Taylor, [http://voices.yahoo.com/5-social-networks-writers-11904092.html?cat=38 5 Social Networks for Writers], November 29, 2012, Retrieved 2014-04-22.</ref>

Facebook is an online forum referred to as a social media site which allows members to create pages about themselves such as their hobbies, interests, education and job information to share with other members of Facebook. It also allows a person to create a friends list of other members of Facebook that one might know as well as create a page dedicated to a particular event and invite their friends. A person can also get on someone else's friend list and access information about people on their own friends list. It is a great way to share thoughts, exciting events and stories with other members of the Facebook community.

===Microblogging===
Microblogging is a form of social media where posts are extremely short. Currently, the most popular microblogging platform is [http://www.twitter.com Twitter], although there are other options available such as [http://www.tumblr.com Tumblr], and [http://http://www.plurk.com/ Plurk]. Some consider microblogging random "short bursts of text", however it is better to think of it as a group of short conversations. Users are able to converse back and forth with one another, as well as grouping content by the use of hashtags. <ref>Justin Herman, [http://www.howto.gov/social-media/microblogging Microblogging], April 18, 2013, Retrieved 2014-04-23.</ref>

== Wiki ==
[[Wiki]] sites are [[web applications]] whose content is collaboratively added, deleted, updated, modified, and organized by its users.<ref>[http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/magazine/cc700339.aspx, "Easy Wiki Hosting, Scott Hanselman's blog, and Snagging Screens" Online. April 15, 2014.]</ref> Wiki promotes a democratic use of the Web, encompasses general knowledge, and produces a shared knowledge base. Wiki provides any user with access to the Internet an opportunity of author and editor privileges.<ref>[https://net.educause.edu/ir/library/pdf/eli7004.pdf , "7 Things you Should Know About Wikis" Online. April 22, 2014.]</ref> While wiki sites are established collaboratively by a community of users no content is owned by the authors. Wiki writings have an objective style and use an impersonal, formal, and dispassionate tone.<ref>[https://medium.com/p/66d288cebab4, "Writing on a Wiki" Online. April 18, 2014.]</ref> One of the most commonly visited wiki pages is the encyclopedia project [[Wikipedia]], but there are multiple sites running different types of [[wiki software]]. <ref>[http://c2.com/cgi/wiki?TopTenWikiEngines, "Top Ten Wiki Engines" Online. April 18, 2014.]</ref> Wiki supports [[hyperlinks]] and has simple text syntax for producing new pages and crosslinks between internal pages.<ref>[http://wiki.org/wiki.cgi?WhatIsWiki , "What is Wiki?"

Alliteration

2014-04-17T14:23:46Z

VictoriaCauley:

'''Alliteration''' is the repetition of identical sounds at the beginning of words or in stressed syllables.<ref>[http://www.thefreedictionary.com/alliteration, "The Free Dictionary" Online. April 9, 2014.]</ref> The words applied in alliteration can begin with a consonant or a vowel. This literary device occurs in various words across successive sentences, clauses, or phrases.<ref>[http://www.americanrhetoric.com/figures/alliteration.htm, "American Alliterations" Online. April 10, 2014.]</ref> The function of alliteration, like [[rhyme]], might be to emphasize the exquisiteness of language in a given context, or to unite words or concepts through a type of repetition.<ref>[http://bcs.bedfordstmartins.com/virtualit/poetry/alliteration_def.html, "Elements of Poetry" Online. April 9, 2014.]</ref>

== '''Examples of Alliteration''' ==

Peter Piper picked a peck of pickled peppers. A peck of pickled peppers Peter Piper picked. If Peter Piper picked a peck of pickled peppers How many pickled peppers did Peter Piper pick?

Nate never knows.

She sells seashells by the seashore. The shells she sells are surely seashells. So if she sells shells on the seashore,I'm sure she sells seashore shells.

How much wood would a woodchuck chuck If a woodchuck would chuck wood? A woodchuck would chuck all the wood he could chuck If a woodchuck would chuck wood.

People who pen poetry.

== '''Alliteration in Poetry and Literature'''==

Alliteration possesses a very essential role in poetry and prose. The repeating sounds generate a harmonious effect in the text that enriches the pleasure of reading a literary piece. Alliteration makes reading and recitation of the poems attractive and alluring; thus, making them easier to learn. Furthermore, this literary device contributes flow and attractiveness to a piece of writing.<ref>[http://examples.yourdictionary.com/examples-of-alliteration-poems.html, "Poem Alliteration" Online. April 9, 2014.]</ref>

'''Here are examples of alliteration in poetry and literature:'''

In The Raven, Edgar Allan Poe uses many examples of alliteration including the following line:
"Once upon a midnight dreary while I pondered weak and weary".

Samuel Taylor Coleridge uses the following line of alliteration, "For the sky and the sea, and the sea and the sky" in Rime of the Ancient Mariner.

This line from Beowulf is also alliteration: "Hot-hearted Beowulf was bent upon battle."

'''Alliteration for Children'''

In the nursery rhyme Three Grey Geese by Mother Goose, the use of alliteration can be found in the following line: "Three grey geese in a green field grazing. Grey were the geese and green was the grazing."

Betty Botter,also by Mother Goose, uses alliteration: "Betty Botter bought some butter, but, she said, the butter’s bitter; if I put it in my batter it will make my batter bitter, but a bit of better butter will make my batter better."

In Dr. Suess ABC book, alliteration is found on every page: "Aunt Annie’s alligator
Barber baby bubbles and a bumblebee
Camel on the ceiling..."

Several Dr. Suess' books utilize alliteration. For instance, notice the alliteration in Fox In Socks: "Through three cheese trees three free fleas flew. While these fleas flew, freezy breeze blew...."

== '''Alliteration in Rhetoric''' ==

The use of alliteration in poetry is similar to using alliteration in rhetoric. Orators, who apply this literary device within their speeches, develop eloquent and persuasive messages. Using alliteration in a speech adds a textural complexity, making it more engaging, moving, and memorable. This literary device captivates a person's auditory senses that contribute in generating a mood for the speaker. The repeating sound forces spectator’s attention because of their distinct and noticeable nature. To see alliteration used affectively, read John F. Kennedy’s, Martin Luther King Jr.’s, Bill Clinton's, Ronald Reagan's, and Barack Obama’s speeches.

'''Here are a few lines from their speeches:'''

"We, the people, declare today that the most evident of truths — that all of us are created equal — is the star that guides us still; just as it guided our forebears through Seneca Falls, and Selma, and Stonewall; just as it guided all those men and women, sung and unsung, who left footprints along this great Mall, to hear a preacher say that we cannot walk alone; to hear a King proclaim that our individual freedom is inextricably bound to the freedom of every soul on Earth."<ref>[http://rhetoriciansnotebook.wordpress.com/2013/01/21/obamas-alliteration/, "Obama's Alliteration" Online. April 9, 2014.]</ref> -Barack Obama

"I have a dream that my four little children will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by the color of their skin but by the content of their character."<ref>[http://blog.flocabulary.com/i-have-a-dream-speech-analysis-lesson-plan/, "MLK's Alliteration" Online. April 9, 2014.]</ref> -MLK

"Let every nation know, whether it wishes us well or ill, that we shall pay any price, bear any burden, meet any hardship, support any friend, oppose any foe to assure the survival and the success of liberty.<ref>[http://www.speaklikeapro.co.uk/JFK_inaugural.htm, "JFK's Alliteration" Online. April 9, 2014.]</ref> -JFK

"Somewhere at this very moment a child is being born in America. Let it be our cause to give that child a happy home, a healthy family, and a hopeful future."<ref>[http://www.americanrhetoric.com/figures/alliteration.htm, "Bill Clinton's Alliteration" Online. April 9, 2014.]</ref> -Bill Clinton

"And our nation itself is testimony to the love our veterans have had for it and for us. All for which America stands is safe today because brave men and women have been ready to face the fire at freedom's front."<ref>[http://www.americanrhetoric.com/figures/alliteration.htm, "Ronald Reagan's Alliteration" Online. April 9, 2014.]</ref> -Ronald Reagan

== '''Pop Culture Alliteration'''==

Various organizations apply alliteration to develop memorable and appealing names. By using alliteration companies are able to enhance sales and attract customers. <ref>[http://literarydevices.net/alliteration/, "Contemporary Alliterations" Online. April 9, 2014.]</ref>

'''Several common illustrations are:'''

• Dunkin’ Donuts

• PayPal

• Best Buy

• Coca-Cola

• Life Lock

• Park Place

• American Apparel

• American Airlines

• Chuckee Cheese’s

• Bed Bath & Beyond

• Krispy Kreme

Of course the '''Alliteration Tongue Twisters''' that everyone seems to know, but can't seem to say:

Peter Piper picked a peck of pickled peppers. A peck of pickled peppers Peter Piper picked. If Peter Piper picked a peck of pickled peppers How many pickled peppers did Peter Piper pick?

How much wood would a woodchuck chuck If a woodchuck would chuck wood? A woodchuck would chuck all the wood he could chuck If a woodchuck would chuck wood.

== '''Alliteration in poems'''==

Here are examples of alliteration taken from The Raven by Edgar Allan Poe:

Once upon a midnight dreary while I pondered weak and weary
...rare and radiant maiden
And the silken sad uncertain rustling of each purple curtain
Deep into that darkness peering, long I stood there wondering, fearing, Doubting, dreaming dreams no mortal ever dared to dream before

== '''Alliteration in children books''': ==

Dr. Suess is known for his alliteration usage.

ex: Aunt Annie’s alligator
Barber baby bubbles and a bumblebee
Camel on the ceiling C…c….c
David Donald Doo dreamed a dozen doughnuts and a duck-dog, too
ear egg elephant
Four fluffy feathers on a Fiffer-feffer-feff
Goat girl googoo goggles
Hungry horse hay
Hen in a hat Hooray Hooray
Icabod is itchy
Jerry Jordan’s jelly jar and jam
Kitten Kangaroo Kick a kettle
Lazy lion licks a lollipop
Many mumbling mice are making midnight music in the moonlight
Nine new neckties and a nightshirt
Oscar’s only ostrich oiled an orange owl today
Painting pink pajamas
The quick Queen of Quincy and her quacking quacker-oo
Rosy Robin Ross…riding on her red rhinoceros
Silky Sammy Slick sipped six sodas
Ten tied turtles on a tuttle-tuttle tree
Uncle Ubb’s umbrella
Vera Violet Vinn is very very very awful on her violin
Willy Waterloo washes Warren Wiggins who is washing Waldo Woo
Nixie Knox
A yawning yellow yak
Zizzer-Zazzer-Zuzz
