Masja [62]

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.
