"He has plundered our seas, ravaged our Coasts, burnt our towns,

and destroyed the lives of our people"

This is an example of metonymy because it states "He has plundered our

seas" which means that he controls the seas militarily and takes charge.

The writer accomplishes a more deeper meaning and makes the sentence shorter and more interesting for the reader.

Pathos is enhanced in this case because the writer appeals to the reader by showing that the king is controlling the seas and they want to take that back because it is theirs.

Shakespeare’s “Julies Caesar”

“Friends, Romans, countrymen, lend me your ears.”

Shakespeare uses "ears" to say that he wants the people there to listen to him.

It is a metonymy because the word "ears" replaces the concept of attention.

The author accomplishes a more profound meaning to otherwise common

ideas and objects. Also, it gives the text a deeper meaning which draws readers.

Pathos is enhanced by the use of this device because this device is used

differently in every culture, so the audience has to relate to it and understand it.
