Summary. Walden is an account of the two years during which Henry David Thoreau built his own cabin, raised his own food, and lived a life of simplicity in the woods near Concord, Massachusetts. Thoreau's idea was that one's true self could be lost amid the distractions of ordinary life. Thoreau's attitude toward reform involved his transcendental efforts to live a spiritually meaningful life in nature. As a transcendentalist, Thoreau believed that reality existed only in the spiritual world, and the solution to people's problems was the free development of emotions ("Transcendentalism").

Hi there!
Thank you for posting your question on Brainly!
So, to put it simply, a hyperbole is a statement, but it’s not supposed to be taken literal. It’s an exaggeration. And you want one for thanksgiving... so it could be something like:
“The thanksgiving feast at my house was so big, it could’ve fed an army.”
Now we know that this person didn’t have enough food at that feast to feed an actual army, but from this hyperbole, we know that there was a lot of food at this feast.
Have a nice night and please contact me with any questions!

Answer:
Adverb
Explanation:
In the sentence "The street lights are shining brightly at my window" there is no participle, only verb, "shinning". The word "brightly" is acting as an adverb, modifying the verb, "shinning" in the sentence. Remember, adverbs modify verbs, nouns, adjectives, or pronouns. It describes the manner, degree, extent, such as brightly describes in what manner or degree to which the light shines.
