Alliteration is where you repeat the consonant sounds in a line of speech. She sells seashells by the seashore. Peter Piper Picked a Peck of PIckled Peppers.
Assonance, on the other hand, is where the vowel sounds are repeated at the beginning. Almost Always, Ah.

Fazizzle is correct. Alliteration is an author, or more likely a poet's technique, where the first letter is repeated over and over throughout a line or stanza. It can give the poem a certain type of rythmic format.

Alliteration is the use of similar consonants which is a poetic or literary effect achieved by using several words that begin with the same or similar consonants, as in "Whither wilt thou wander, wayfarer?"

When the beginning of words in a sentence or phrase starts with the same sound. Example: Tiny Tina tiptoed through the tulips. Get it? You can be more creative and make it longer. Have fun!

Think of it like rhyming, only with the beginning of the words. Like, faded pants and fizzy drinks are not foriegn policy. It's repetition of a sound at the beginning of words within a phrase.

When a bunch of words together all start with the same sound.
Ex: Long legged lynxes love leaping over lions.
