Huck Finn...?

Dec 04, 2006 by Skye R | Posted in Books & Authors

Can anyone find personification, a metaphor, a hyperbole, a metonymy, and a synecdoche in The Adventures of Huck Finn?

I know what all of these are, but I'm having trouble finding them in the novel. Thanks!
Oh, also, I would need

metonymy.... i would use huck's frequent desision to 'go to hell' rather than follow societies rules. ( because he associates the phrase with doing something he shouldn't rather than actually going to hell, i'd consider it metonymy)
synecdoche....

High temp record set in 1995 falls

21.05.12

Mark Ogden Jr. climbed on the trunk of a tree overhanging the body of water in the center of Credit Island Park in Davenport.

The 13-year-old carried a stick to which he had attached fishing line and a sinker. Tossing the line into the water, Mark looked like the fictional Mississippi River character Huckleberry Finn.

He already had strung two regular fishing rods, cast the lines into the water, and propped them up, waiting for the fish to bite.

“He never seems to have enough lines out,” his dad, Mark Ogden Sr. of Davenport, said.

The older Ogden sat in a chair, his tackle box beside him, and cast his line into the water. Like many others, he has been amazed at the summer-like weather that has blessed the Quad-City region the past few days.

“When we get home, we’re going to fire up the grill,” Ogden said.

It’s a sure bet that lots of grills were fired up Wednesday as the thermometer climbed to a record high of 78 degrees. That beat the old record of 77, set in 1995.
