What is Alliteration in English terms?

Alliteration is a literary device where two or more words in a phrase or sentence start with the same sound. This sound can be a consonant or a vowel.

Here's a breakdown:

* Focus on sound, not spelling: The words don't need to be spelled the same, just sound the same at the beginning.

* Common in poetry and prose: Alliteration adds a musical quality to writing, making it more memorable and engaging.

* Examples:

* "Peter Piper picked a peck of pickled peppers."

* "Busy as a bee."

* "She sells seashells by the seashore."

Alliteration is often used to emphasize certain words, create a sense of rhythm, or make writing more playful and memorable.
