Finally, your students will be able to understand the distinction between metonymy and synecdoche, the similarities of simile and metaphor, and the different varieties of irony—beyond just memorizing definitions. The three-tiered, progressively more difficult exercises in this book reinforce knowledge of each literary term. Students see the terms in action and can then explain how they function. This is not, however, a book for your lower classes; it is complex.
