Explanation:
SYNECDOCHE
-When a part represents the whole, as in the statement "hired hands" for workmen, or when the entire represents a part, as in the use of the word "society" to refer to elite society, a synecdoche occurs.
ALLITERATION
-The objective of alliteration is to generate an auditory pulse that provides a piece of writing a lulling, lyrical, and/or emotive effect by repeating the same sound at the start of a series of words in succession. Alliteration can be seen in this paragraph.
PERSONIFICATION
-When you give an object or animal human behaviors, you've personified it.
METAPHOR
-Figure of speech in which one word or phrase describing one type of object or thought is substituted for another to imply a similarity or analogy between them.
EPIPHORA
-An epiphora is a phrase or word that repeats itself at the end of a clause.
