"I am buried in homework", he told his friends. "I might suffocate under an avalanche of paper and books." The literary device that is used in this statement is Hyperbole. Hyperbole is a figure of speech or literary device that overstates or exaggerates a statement for emphasis or to make a point, but does not have to be taken literally. Hyperbole is a Greek word that means "excess".
