The flowers withered faster than the speed of light.

Hyperbole (from Greek 'excess'), is a figure of speech that uses extreme exaggeration. The opposite of a hyperbole is an understatement.

Hyperboles are not comparisons like metaphors but extravagant and sometimes ridiculous overstatements, not meant to be taken literally. They are perfect for creative writing and communication, especially if one wants to make a story funny or humorous.

Some examples of a hyperbole are:

- I'm so hungry I could eat a horse.

- I have a million things to do.

- She is as skinny as a tooth pick.

What are some similarities and differences between literary nonfiction and poetry

GREYUIT [131]

Answer:

hey! im not very good with this type of stuff, but i'll try to help you! (also if im wrong, just tell me and i'll try to help you again!)

Explanation:

similarities:

Poems and fiction books have your world in them. The kind of world you imagine and the kind of world you want to live in. Second similarity: they hide your feelings. If you feel depressed some day, and you write a piece of poetry or a piece of fiction, both of them would still reflect your feelings.

differences: Poetry could be a short story of mixed emotions. Fiction is a type of story that is always fake, imagined, or made-up while poetry could be realistic.

hope this helped a little bit! :)
