AssonanceO The repetition of vowel sounds.O I bomb atomically—Socrates’
philosophies and hypotheses can’t define how I be droppin’ these mockeries. (Wu-Tang Clan “Triumph)

AssonanceO Assonance is all about sound, not the
letters. Just because the letters are the same it doesn’t mean that it is assonance. The SOUND must be the same.O Treat the breadO Nothing gold can stay
O You can have assonance with different letters!O Should sugarO A queasy sweep

MetonymyO a figure of speech in which the
name of something is used to refer to something that that name stands for.
O "These lands belong to the crown." Obviously, a crown doesn't own these lands. The writer is using "crown" as metonymy – (s)he actually means "to the monarch" or "to the country ruled by the monarch.“
O "He is a man of the cloth." The writer is actually saying that he is a man of religion, such as a minister. "Cloth" is used to stand for "religion."

Synecdoche (suh-nek-doh-key)• A figure of speech in which a part represents the whole or, less commonly, the whole represents a part.• Ex. of part representing the whole= “hired hands” for
workmen • “Give us this day our daily bread” (bread represents food in
general)• Ex. of the whole representing a part= “society” to mean high
society

Metonymy vs. Synecdoche• Here is my best attempt to explain the difference:• If the image is actually a whole thing and represents another whole thing, it is metonymy.• The land belongs to the crown. (The crown is a whole thing
and represents another whole thing)• If you can see the image as part of a whole, then it is synecdoche.• I gave it to the hired hands. “Hands” are only a part of a
person, so this is synecdoche.
