No they are not. Alliteration is the use of several words beginning with the same sound, like 'round the rugged rocks'. Assonance is similarity of vowel sounds in nearby words, such as the long 'a' sound in 'about the glade in a frail agony of grace she trailed her rags ' As you can see it's much more subtle.
