The term (“ghostly double”) refers to a ghostly counterpart of a living person. Hawthorne and Poe are among the many writers who have used this device commonly to dramatize the dual nature—the “good” and “bad” selves– of a particular character.
33
A reference to a well-known person, place, event, literary work, or work of art. http://images.barnesandnoble.com/images/7050000/7053060.jpg http://content.answers.com/main/content/wp/en/thumb/b/b1/350px-Da_Vinci_The_last_supper_detail_Da_Vinci_code.jpg http://www.sonypictures.de/landing/the-da-vinci-code/images/img_1.jpg
34

35
Directly addressing an imaginary person, place, thing, or abstraction, either living, dead or absent from the work. Example: Ophelia, in Hamlet, says, “O, heavenly powers, restore him.”

38
Metonymy (unlike metaphor) uses figurative expressions that are closely associated with the subject in terms of place, time or background. The figurative expression is not a physical part of the subject. Examples are: The White House declared (White House = US government / President) The land belongs to the crown. (crown = king / queen / royal family / monarchy) Empty pockets never held anyone back. Only empty heads and empty hearts can do that. (Norman Vincent Peale) (empty pockets = poverty; empty heads = ignorance / dullness / density; empty hearts = unkindness / coldness) the spit-and-polish command post (meaning: shiny clean) The name of one thing is applied to another thing with which it is closely associated: “I love Shakespeare.”
39
a word whose sound (the way it is pronounced) imitates the meaning. Examples: “roar,” “murmur,” “tintinnabulation.”
40

Anything that stands for or represents something else. An object that serves as a symbol has its own meaning, but also represents abstract ideas. http://wynn.house.gov/images/American%20Flag.gif http://www.homeschooloasis.com/wedding_rings2.jpg
45
This is a form of metaphor. A part or something that is used to the signify the whole: “Turning our long boat round […] on the last morning required all hands on deck” (hands = people) (4)(4) Whole used instead of a part: Troops halt the drivers (troops = soldiers) “Canada played the United States in the Olympic Hockey finals.” The container representing the thing being contained: “The pot is boiling” The material from which an object is made stands for the object itself: “The quarterback tossed the pigskin.”
46
A word choice intended to convey a certain effect. Example: “It was easy to use that laptop” or “It was effortless using that laptop”
47
A word that contains a set of ideas associated with it in addition to its explicit meaning. Based on the word, it can be personal and/or based on individual experiences. Example: “My bad” or “Sorry” “House” or “Home”
48

Example: *We shall not flag or fail. We shall go on to the end. We shall fight in France, we shall fight on the seas and oceans, we shall fight with growing confidence and growing strength in the air, we shall defend our island, whatever the cost may be, we shall fight on the beaches, we shall fight on the landing grounds, we shall fight in the fields and in the streets, we shall fight in the hills. We shall never surrender. Churchill. http://www.crab.rutgers.edu/~awoll/churchill.jpg
