One day I was in the kitchen, getting coffee like every day. I turn around and I see my friend! He says "I just met your sister." you freak out and check everywhere for a "sister" but there is nobody to be seen. When I check back my friend is gone. I find him outside playing baseball. He does that everyday for 2 weeks. You think to yourself "This has gone on too long!" and the next day you wait for him and you find a little girl. This little girl is lost! You help her find the way home, and you live a happy life.
Hyperbole is used to exaggerate a thought or idea. It often makes the tone humorous or overly dramatic. It's important to be careful when using hyperbole in writing because it can also make the speaker seem unreliable since a hyperbole is not a complete truth. A few examples of everyday hyperboles are: My homework is going to take forever. I'm so hungry, I could eat a cow. I'm so embarrassed, I could die.
