Assonance is the repetition of vowel sounds in closely positioned words, while alliteration is the repetition of initial consonant sounds. Both are used to create rhythm and enhance the musical quality of language, especially in poetry. Recognizing these devices can enhance the appreciation and effectiveness of writing.
