Exercise Your Figures > Exercise 1: Tropes

Word Hero Preface

"The Legend of Quote Boy" is a metonymy. Can you see how? But it's also a trope. Could you use another trope for the preface title? How about a synecdoche? How to Surf a Delivery Van.

Words of wisdom about the wisdom of words. Busting word blocks for blockbusting figures. Don't merely observe the figures of others, experience your own witness. Find the right words and write the fine words. The roots of shady speech. Words like stones for building or fighting.
