Which excerpt from Carl Sandburg’s "Three Boys with Jugs of Molasses and Secret Ambitions" includes both alliteration and onomatopoeia?
"And I like you because you got some wishes and some suspicions and you look mixed up," he said to Miney Mo, sticking handfuls and handfuls of fleems into the pockets of Miney Mo. All three got to the grocery at the same time. And all three went out of the door of the grocery together, each with a jug of molasses together and each with his secret ambition creeping around in his heart, all three together. Whenever the secret ambition crept in their hearts and made them too sad, so sad it was hard to live and stand for it, they would all three put their hands on each other's shoulder and sing the song of Joe. They did not know it was Mr. Sniggers putting paris green on the potato plants. A big drop of paris green spattered down and fell onto the heads and shoulders of all three, Eeta Peeca Pie, Meeny Miney and Miney Mo.

Do you know alliteration and onomatopoeia is?
Alliteration is the occurrence of the same letter or sound at the beginning of closely connected words. Onomatopoeia is the formation of a word from an associated sound. Try to go off of that.
So what can you eliminate?
