Answer 17

when you have a cliche, or any statement/sentence in literature even, its simply a notion expressed by a specific use of language (WORDS) words are powerful. examine the cliche, whatever it may be, and draw the overall message from it in your own words. aka, what the cliche is expressing: then all you havve to do is write that message/notion/ conveyed meaning as if it were your own... ps thesaurus will help you learn the power of words if you keep using it as you practice this
