Is susie saw seashells at the seashore an example of alliteration or onomatopoecia?

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 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 contain any words that directly imitate a sound.
