➡️ Hyperbole Examples for Children. It was so cold I saw polar bears wearing jackets. I am so hungry I could eat a horse. I had a ton of chores to do.
➡️ An oxymoron occurs when two contradictory words are together in one phrase. In fact, oxymoron translates from the Greek words oxy meaning sharp, and moron, which means dull. Thus, the word itself is two contradictory words pushed together.
➡️ The effect is often paradoxical and leaves a powerful impact on the reader / listener. Better still, an oxymoron can sometimes add a whole new layer of meaning to the core concept.

Oxymoron > It is a figure of speech where words that have opposite or very different meanings are put together
Hyperbole > It is also a figure of speech. It is identified as an extravagant exaggeration, not to be taken literally but used figuratively to create emphasis.
