âAnd the silken sad uncertain rustling of each purple curtainâ. Many examples of assonance can be found in prose and poetry. Assonance is the repetition of vowel sounds in nearby words. It is used to reinforce the meanings of words or to set the mood.
Answer by Migs (51). Florida has a fairly extensive array of natural resources, but relatively low quantities of mineral and metal deposits. Major resources include phosphates, water, and citrus fruit. Florida's aquifers are the main water sources for homes in Florida and its surroundings (Georgia and the Carolinas).
Florida's most important agricultural products, and the ones for which it is most famous, are its citrus fruits. Florida continues to supply the vast majority of orange juice consumed in the US. Florida produced nearly 80% of the nation's oranges and 79% of its grapefruits in 2002. It is also an important producer of other fruits, vegetables, and sugarcane. The total value of Florida's crops in 2001 exceeded $4.9 billion, 4th highest among the 50 states. Total farm marketings, including livestock marketings and products, exceeded $6.4 billion in 2001 (9th in the US).
