Zorluk: OrtaLiterary Devices and Figurative Language

Read the passage below and complete the analytical statement by identifying the correct figures of speech.

Cevap:In the passage, 'The captain called for all hands on deck as the kettle boiled furiously in the galley,' the expression 'all hands' uses a physical part of a person to stand for the entire worker, which exemplifies 【synecdoche】, while describing the kettle as boiling 'furiously' attributes human emotion to an inanimate object, demonstrating 【personification】.

Cevap

blank_1: synecdoche, blank_2: personification
The term 'synecdoche' correctly fills the first blank because 'hands' is a part of a sailor used to represent the whole sailor. The term 'personification' correctly fills the second blank because human emotion ('furiously') is attributed to an inanimate object ('kettle').

Adım Adım Çözüm

1
Analyze the expression 'all hands'.
The word 'hands' represents the crew members (the whole) using a part of their bodies (the part).
A figure of speech in which a part is made to represent the whole or vice versa is defined as synecdoche.
2
Analyze the expression 'boiled furiously'.
The emotion 'furiously' (anger/intensity) is attributed to a non-human object ('kettle').
Giving human characteristics or feelings to non-human things or inanimate objects is personification.
