Repetition of the initial (first) sounds or letters of words close together in the poem.

Explanation:

Repetition of initial consonant sounds usually in the beginning of the word in a two or more neighboring words or syllables. Alliteration is the Latin word which is derived from the Latin word 'Latira'. It means a a letter or alphabet.

Example: Bitty makes the bitter butter better. In this sentence (b) sound occurs constantly forming an alliteration. It must be understood that alliteration does not depend upon letters but on sounds. 'Christy got a cigarette chase', in this sentence the letter(c) is having different sounds and hence it is not an example of alliteration.

They called King out as an “outsider” because he protested instead of taking the problem to the court.

King recognized their well-meaning attitude and the ways they agree with the ideas. This is why he said, at the end of the "Letter from a Birmingham Jail" he will take time to reply to them. He writes about how he feels their genuine goodwill and capability for understanding. Although he mentioned he does not have time for answering criticism usually, this recognition of the sincerity and good means made him change his principle.
