I'm not aware of a specific book titled "Fight for Justice" by an author named Lori Saigeon in my knowledge up to September 2021. However, I can provide you with an example of a literary device used in a novel to illustrate how it works. In many novels, authors use literary devices like symbolism to convey deeper meanings. For example, in a novel about social justice, a recurring symbol could be a "broken scale" to represent the imbalance or injustice in society. The broken scale serves as a symbol that underscores the central theme of the book, adding depth and meaning to the narrative. If you have a specific book or passage from the book you're referring to, please provide more details, and I'll do my best to discuss the literary devices used in that context.
