If used close to another word that starts with the letter 'a' as in the example, "All Amy's allergies made her go achoo!" then it would be considered an alliteration, but not by itself. Alliteration requires at least two words with the same front sound.
Achoo is, however, an onomatopoeia.

Meticulous men monitor their money.
The friendly fox fights fervently and ferociously.

A Shakespeare sonnet does not have?
Your teacher probably wants you to say that a Shakespearean sonnet does not have a volta (the change in point of view which occurs between Octave and Sestet which is the defining characteristic of the Petrarchan sonnet).
This isn't quite true. Several of Shakespeare's sonnets have very obvious voltas. One of the most interesting is sonnet LX where the volta appears to fall between lines 7 and 8, making an interestingly asymmetric movement which I have seen nowhere else in poetry.
But Shakespearean sonnets don't usually have voltas, in fact only an author as daring as Shakespeare would even think of giving a Shakespearean sonnet a volta. (Though Donne, I suppose, was such another).
What is the criteria for alliteration?
You mean "what are the criteria for alliteration." Criteria is plural.
An alliteration is the use of a repeating consonant sound at the beginning of words. They do not need to be spelled the same. They do not need to be immediately adjacent, but any intervening words should be unaccented. "The Quran is kind to Christians" is an alliteration notwithstanding the unaccented words "is" and "to" and the fact that the same sound is spelled in three words with a "q", a "k", and a "ch".
On the other hand, "civic charity committee" is not an alliteration because although all three words start with "c" the "c" is pronounced differently in each word.
What is the assonance in all the world's a stage?
Assonance in the phrase "All the world's a stage" can be observed through the repetition of the vowel sound "a" in "a" and "stage." This creates a musical quality that enhances the rhythm and flow of the line. Additionally, the long "o" sound in "world's" contributes to the overall assonance, linking the words together and emphasizing the thematic connection between the concepts of life and performance.
How do you translate the phrase all worlds the stage?
All the world is a stage and all the people are actors and actresses. What we do in our life becomes the roles we play. The outcome of the play depends on the input of our performaces and how they interact with someone else.
