I used to have a teacher who said this as well. The best way to understand would be to show examples of how to specify such terms as “stuff” and “things”. For instance: “The birds have lots of stuff.” That was not clear because the reader does not know what the “stuff” is. Instead, the text could be changed to: “The birds have lots of feathers.” Now the reader knows what the stuff is because it has been replaced with a more specific word. If you go over multiple examples in your head, it will become easier to comprehend and you will get used to doing it.

patriot [66]

alliteration

The line has the /w/ sound repeated three times. Alliteration is the repetition of the same sound within a group of words. A simile is a comparison using like or as. The line does not have either like or as. An echo is when the end of a line or stanza is repeated like an echo. This is not the case either. The line also does not have personification (the giving of human-like traits to a non-human thing).
