The definition of synecdoche.
(Wording may differ, as long as meaning is the same):
A figure of speech in which a part of something stands for the whole (for example, “I’ve got wheels” for “I have a car,” or a description of a worker as a “hired hand”)
Repetition of any group of verse elements (including rhyme and grammatical structure) in reverse order.
Chiasmus
Explain how this is a chiasmus:
The maiden’s heart and the golden sea ;
For the maid had her love, and the sea her sun,
And life was joy with the morn begun,
And the tide running fast and free.
Some version of this answer:
The rhyme scheme is ABBA, seeing as "sea" and "free" rhyme and "sun" and "begun" rhyme. By reversing the rhyme in the 3rd line and putting B after B and A after that, the entire stanza's rhyme scheme is reversed, which makes this an example of chiasmus.
Give an example of a synecdoche. You are NOT allowed to look anything up.
Answers will vary.
