Is Susie saw seashells at the seashoreand example of alliteration or onomatopeia?

This is an example of alliteration.

Here's why:

* Alliteration is the repetition of consonant sounds at the beginning of words that are close together. In this sentence, the "s" sound is repeated in "Susie," "saw," and "seashells."

* Onomatopoeia is the use of words that imitate the sounds they describe (like "buzz," "meow," or "crash"). This sentence doesn't have any words that directly mimic a sound.
