Question

what does hyperbole means in the terms of the literary devices?

Answer 1

Hyperbole means exaggerated sentences or statements which are not to be taken literary. Think of it as a rhetorical way of saying something Eg. ... and then it hit him... with the matrix and whirlwind of papers....he felt as if the ground beneath him cracked and hyperbole. Not a good sentence, but I really hope this helps you =^_^=
