In the book "The Adventures of Tom Sawyer" author Mark Twain makes use of exaggeration and hyperbole to create greater emotion in the text, such as:
- They had been friends for centuries.
- They cried rivers of tears.
- Friends died laughing at the joke they heard.
<h3 /><h3>What is a hyperbole?</h3>
It corresponds to a figure of speech that conveys exaggerated ideas, that is, it is a resource widely used in literature to generate greater emotion and textual expression, through words that convey intensity.
Therefore, the author uses the hyperbole as a resource that generates greater intentional expressiveness to the text.

Answer and Explanation:
What "cage" did Lizabeth realize that her and her childhood companions were trapped in during the Great Depression?
Lizabeth is a character is Eugenia Collier's short story "Marigolds", set during the Great Depression. According to Lizabeth, who is also the narrator of the story, the cage in which she and the other children in story were trapped was poverty.
How did this "cage" limit Lizabeth and her companions, and how did they react to it as children?
<u>Lizabeth says poverty is a cage because it limits her and her companions. They know, unconsciously, that they will never grow out of it, that they will never be anything else other than very poor. However, since they cannot understand that consciously yet, the children and Lizabeth react to that reality with destruction. They channel their inner frustrations, project their anger outwards - more specifically, they destroy Miss Lottie's garden of marigolds.</u>
<em>"I said before that we children were not consciously aware of how thick were the bars of our cage. I wonder now, though, whether we were not more aware of it than I thought. Perhaps we had some dim notion of what we were, and how little chance we had of being anything else. Otherwise, why would we have been so preoccupied with destruction? Anyway, the pebbles were collected quickly, and everybody looked at me to begin the fun."</em>
Ray Bradbury was always scared of the future. Books that he wrote including the Pedestrian and Fahrenheit 451, were about the future and what it will become. I believe that if Ray Bradbury were alive today, he would feel very strongly about limiting our use of technology.
Hope this helps! Have a great day :)
