Hi Montel,
I’d recommend when you copy definitions from the internet that you change the examples to words that you often use. This way you’re demonstrating that you understand the terms and you’re also adding something more useful to everyone to the body of knowledge on your blog.
Also, if you copy something, it’s important that you note where you got it from, with the URL and the date you accessed it.
Righto!

Hello Montel,
I agree with Mr Waugh’s words above. How can you make this work your own? I would suggest that you try to provide examples of these language devices that are your own – write your own metaphors, similes, examles of alliteration…
Good luck.
