Question

Synecdoche is a poetic device that uses a part to represent the whole. E.g. That’s

a great set of wheels! (Set of wheels has been used for car.)

Pick an example of synecdoche from the poem.

a) Has given my heart / A change of mood

b) The way a crow / Shook down on me

c) The dust of snow / From a hemlock tree

d) And saved some part / Of a day I had rued​

Answer 1

Option a) Has given my heart / A change of mood is an example of synecdoche.  

Synecdoche uses a small part to refer to the whole. Here, the poet uses the word ‘heart’ to refer to his entire being. When the poet says that the snow that fell on him changed the mood of his heart, what he means to say is that the snow dust actually changed the mood of his entire being. This also includes his mind. Therefore, option a is an example of synecdoche.
