Jonathan Swift´s satirical essay "A modest proposal" is rife with hyperbole. The entire proposal itself is hyperbolic. A hyperbole is an extreme exaggeration that is used to emphasize an author´s point. In the case of satires, like "a modest proposal", hyperbole is often used to create humor and draw the reader´s attention to the ridiculous nature of an idea or situation.

Why were the villagers in the story hey come on out
dexar [7]

A story of social criticism with an ecological message, Hoshi’s “He-y, Come on Ou-t!,” begins with a mysterious hole that has been created after a landslide in a typhoon. The local villagers are trying to repair a nearby shrine, but the hole must first be filled in before rebuilding can start. A young man leans over and yells “He-y, come on ou-t!” into the hole, thinking that it may be a fox hole. When no one answers or exits the hole, he throws in a pebble, which never seems to reach the bottom.

Eventually the story of the bottomless hole attracts the attention of scientists and the media. The scientists can find no bottom and no cause for the hole, and the villagers decide to have it filled in. A man asks for the hole and offers to build them a shrine elsewhere, which the mayor and townspeople agree to do. The man who gained control of the hole begins a campaign, collecting dangerous nuclear waste and other unwanted objects, which he disposes of into the hole.
