Alliteration is the repetition of initial sounds in neighboring words.
Example:
In cliches: sweet smell of success, a dime a dozen, bigger and better, jump for joy
Wordsworth: And sings a solitary song That whistles in the wind.
Assonance is the repetition of vowel sounds but not consonant sounds as in consonance.
Example:
fleet feet sweep by sleeping geeks.

An alliteration is the repeating consonant sound.
Mary Munch On Muffins would be an alliteration.
An assonance is the repeating of the vowel sound.
I ate a gate so I was late would be an assonance.

Alliteration is the repeated occurrence of a consonant sound at the beginning of several words in the same phrase.
example: mary munches on muffins
Assonance is repetition of vowel sounds to create internal rhyming within phrases or sentences.
example: mellow wedding bells
