A synecdoche is a figure of speech/literary device that represents a phrase describing something as a whole.

From the chapter A Letter To God, an example of a synecdoche would be:

... The only thing the earth needed was a downpour or at least a shower. ...

Here, 'earth' doesn't necessarily refer to the whole earth. It just means that his part of the land, his village, needed some rainfall. He describes how he was dependant on his crops for making a living and that the land on which the crops grew were dry. He wished sincerely for some waterfall or rather, as mentioned above, says of how the only thing the earth needed was a downpour.
