Well, honey, a synecdoche is when a part of something is used to represent the whole or vice versa. In "Poisonwood Bible," an example could be when the character Nathan Price represents the oppressive nature of Western colonization in Africa. It's like saying "all hands on deck" when you really mean all crew members, but with a literary twist.
