The word Aztecs is a proper noun, because it is a name of a certain nation.
Common nouns are words such as table, chair, desk, etc. Compound noun is just a noun that has more than one word, such as brother-in-law. Collective noun is a noun such as deer, sheep, etc.
This author uses many figures of speech:
1. Hyperbole means over exaggerating the sentence. From text " Don't get too close or he might bite!"
2. Metaphor means put words that are not related in a sentence. From the text "Ben growled at the man who parked too close to his car."
3. Personification means formal language in a sentence that has a sense of imagery. In text "He was always guarding his prized possession."
