Hahas, okies, enuf of the last min revisions, heh heh... been looking thru all the past notes on doing pc, hopefully, all will go well later;p i didn't know alot of the terms on the worksheets, so all these are what i've found out just now- turns out that i've been identifying all the structures blindly- no wonder there didn't seen to be any structure for my essays, since I couldn't group the literary devices as I didn't know what they were! hahaz...
