Is susie saw seashells at the shore an example of alliteration or Onomatopaeia?

This sentence is an example of alliteration.

Here's why:

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

* Onomatopoeia is the use of words that imitate the sounds they represent (like "buzz" or "crash"). The sentence doesn't include any sound-imitative words.
