Assonance is a literary device where vowel sounds are repeated in close proximity. It's used to create a musical effect and enhance the meaning of a word or phrase.
Examples:
* "The evil eat eat eat everybody." (The repetition of the short "e" sound)
* "I often observo the old oak tree." (The repetition of the long "o" sound)
