Synechdoche is a literary device that uses a part of something to represent the whole. If a sentence reads "He asked for her hand in marriage", that's a synechdoche because obviously he doesn't want to just marry her hand, but her hand represents all of the person.

Metonymy is similar, but it is something new or related (not just a part of their body) that stands for the whole. For example, "the crown" refers to any person of royalty. If a sentence reads "The criminal got sent to the big house" it means they went to prison. "The big house" is a new name that stands in for the thing it describes.

The pair of eyes were watching her every move. (Here, “pair of eyes” refers to a person.)

Sentences that use metonymy:

I think it’s becuase while you turn left with the car your body wants to create a balanced force so you turn to the right. Which relates to inertia because Inertia is the property of an object to resist a change in motion.

Once when I was like 10 I was playing is my friend katies backyard and heard very faintly somebody yell my name. I figured it was my mom so i pretened like i didnt hear it so i could play a little longer. My concience got the better of me and i headed back like 10 mintues later to find my mom, bandeging my little sister who go stung by muptile wasps.

Read the speech.
belka [17]

The quotation from the text that best supports the inference that a dog will sacrifice its own comfort for the companionship of its owner is A) "He will sleep on the cold ground when the wintry winds blow and the snow drives fiercely, if only he can be near his master's side".

This part of the speech pronounced by Vest presents the dog as a loyal friend<u>. Here, the dog is conceived as an animal capable of doing anything just to be near its master, that is, its owner</u>. In this case, according to George G. Vest,<u> a dog is willing to leave a warm bed and to feel uncomfortable and cold in order to share a moment with its owner,</u> protect him/her and, at the same time, feel protected.
