3. A tiny lesson on synecdoche (this is purely to make you feel better)
Definition: A figure of speech in which the part of something is used to refer to the whole of something, and that part is usually physically attached to the whole.
Examples:
Can you give me a hand?
Nice set of wheels!
Narrator from Invisible Man refers to policemen as "blue steel pistols and blue serge suits" (344)
Why do we care? Sometimes an author uses synecdoche to reveal an attitude towards a character or object. For example, by referring to the policemen as "blue steel pistols and blue serge suits," the narrator of Invisible Man dehumanizes them, associating them the impenetrability of "steel" and "serge," as well as identifying them with the constant threat of violence ("pistols"). The repetition of the color "blue" serves to distance the policemen from both black and white citizens, landing them in a cold, inhuman category.
3. Exploring the 2005 essay prompts together
