Explain the concept of alliteration in literature.

Alliteration is a literary device that involves the repetition of the initial consonant sounds in a series of words or phrases within a sentence or line of poetry. It is used to create a musical or rhythmic effect, enhance the overall sound and flow of the text, and emphasize certain words or ideas. Alliteration is commonly used in poetry, slogans, advertising, and tongue twisters.
