Alliteration means beginning two or more stressed syllables with the same letter or sound:
Throughout the play we are made to witness the force of politics to shape and shatter lives.
As with any rhetorical techniques, alliteration doesn't make an argument more intelligent. Done well, however, it can please your reader and help make him more receptive to your argument. Like a strong spice, alliteration should be used sparingly.
