'''Synecdoche''' (sə-nek-də-kē; from the Greek synekdoche which translates to "simultaneous understanding"<ref>http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/synecdoche/ Merriam-Webster Online </ref>) is a literary device that utilizes a part of an object or the entire object is used to represent some part of the whole object. This trope can function in many ways as a literary device. It can allow larger groups to represent a smaller one or vice versa. It can also refer to a thing by the material it is made of or the packaging it is contained in (Mulvey 165).<ref>[http://books.google.com/books?id=1abNK-Ikq9kC&pg=PA165&lpg=PA165&ots=ZT64DBu2MH&focus=viewport&dq=synecdoche+can+be+the+material.something+is+made+out+of&output=html_text] </ref> | '''Synecdoche''' (sə-nek-də-kē; from the Greek synekdoche which translates to "simultaneous understanding"<ref>http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/synecdoche/ Merriam-Webster Online </ref>) is a literary device that utilizes a part of an object or the entire object is used to represent some part of the whole object.
