Which three parts of this excerpt from Mark Twain's "The £1,000,000 Bank-Note" contain hyperbole?

There are three hyperboles in this excerpt from "The £1,000,000 Bank-Note":

  • "They'll flock in droves". Here the word flock used as a verb means to gather together as a flock (word used to refer to a group of animals, specially birds). Therefore, the phrase is an hyperbole because it contrasts the idea of "a group of animals in a rush" to refer to "these rich Londoners" so as to cause a sense of exaggeration.
  • "I'm a made man forever". The use of the word "forever" here is used to add emphasis to the fact that the character will be a made man as long as he lives: everyone knows nothing lasts forever.
  • "In less than twenty-four hours London was abuzz!". Here the phrase "less than twenty-four hours" is employed to highlight how fast it took the rich Londoners to hear about the mine selling.

Can someone help me write a story with this prompt: (short story!)
tester [92]

Answer:

As I was walking home from school one day, I saw a lady bug. It was one of those red one's. The more typical color you would see here. I continued walking leaving the lady bug on the sidewalk. When I arrived home I opened the door to the smell of a very well cooked dinner. I walked into the kitchen throwing my backpack into the living room. "How was your day?" I heard my mom say over the stove's crackling noise's. "it was good I guess.." I said with a mix of sadness in my voice. "AW, does baby need a tissue?" My big brother yelled exaggeratingly from the kitchen table. I persuaded myself to ignore him, I walked into the living room to get out my homework. I analyzed it and let out a big *sigh*. I had to paraphrase someone else's words into a paragraph.

(that's not short.. is it?) (Also I didn't use negotiate)

CREATIVE WRITING ASSIGNMENT - Simon escapes to the forest at the end of chapter 3. Reread the last few paragraphs of chapter 3 a
svlad2 [7]
Carrying a stick sharpened into a makeshift spear, Jack trails a pig through the thick jungle, but it evades him. Irritated, he walks back to the beach, where he finds Ralph and Simon at work building huts for the younger boys to live in. Ralph is irritated because the huts keep falling down before they are completed and because, though the huts are vital to the boys’ ability to live on the island, none of the other boys besides Simon will help him. As Ralph and Simon work, most of the other boys splash about and play in the lagoon. Ralph gripes that few of the boys are doing any work. He says that all the boys act excited and energized by the plans they make at meetings, but none of them is willing to work to make the plans successful. Ralph points out that Jack’s hunters have failed to catch a single pig. Jack claims that although they have so far failed to bring down a pig, they will soon have more success. Ralph also worries about the smaller children, many of whom have nightmares and are unable to sleep. He tells Jack about his concerns, but Jack, still trying to think of ways to kill a pig, is not interested in Ralph’s problems.

Ralph, annoyed that Jack, like all the other boys, is unwilling to work on the huts, implies that Jack and the hunters are using their hunting duties as an excuse to avoid the real work. Jack responds to Ralph’s complaints by commenting that the boys want meat. Jack and Ralph continue to bicker and grow increasingly hostile toward each other. Hoping to regain their sense of camaraderie, they go swimming together in the lagoon, but their feelings of mutual dislike remain and fester.

In the meantime, Simon wanders through the jungle alone. He helps some of the younger boys—whom the older boys have started to call “littluns”—reach fruit hanging from a high branch. He walks deeper into the forest and eventually finds a thick jungle glade, a peaceful, beautiful open space full of flowers, birds, and butterflies. Simon looks around to make sure that he is alone, then sits down to take in the scene, marveling at the abundance and beauty of life that surrounds him.
