Synecdoche
She is clever and bright
She is known as "the brain"
This is synecdoche, her whispering campaign
He is robust and tough
He is know as "the strong"
This is synecdoche, his practicing health song
She is serene and calm
She is known as "the cool"
This is synecdoche, her consoling peace school
He is tender and warm
He is know as "the good"
This is synecdoche, his looming brotherhood
She is humane and kind
She is known as "the heart"
This is synecdoche, her nurturing jump start
He is balanced and fair
He is know as "the judge"
This is synecdoche, his unrelenting trudge
