Betty Botter - Construction

Construction

The construction is based on alliteration, using four words in the English language which begin with "B" and end in "-ter" (batter, better, bitter, and butter). The surname Botter (which sounds like the phrase "bought a") is used twice in the rhyme, thus allowing five English vowel sounds to be used in the "B-(vowel)-ter" pattern.

Famous quotes containing the word construction:

    No real “vital” character in fiction is altogether a conscious construction of the author. On the contrary, it may be a sort of parasitic growth upon the author’s personality, developing by internal necessity as much as by external addition.
    —T.S. (Thomas Stearns)

    There’s no art
    To find the mind’s construction in the face:
    He was a gentleman on whom I built
    An absolute trust.
    William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

    There’s no art
    To find the mind’s construction in the face.
