Alliteration
The repetition of a consonant sound throughout a phrase. I have a lot of fun with Alliteration because it is really just fun to use and to find in readings. It can be a useful literary element for helping to create an image.
Ex. Sally Sells Seashells by the Sea Shore
This example uses the "S" sound to create an feeling of being near the ocean in the reader's mind. While not very obvious unless paid attention to, the repetition of "S" makes a sound like the ocean when read aloud. Alliteration is a good way to add feeling to a passage while being subtle.

Ex. Peter Piper Picked a Peck of Pickled Peppers.
