<u>Answer</u>:
This hyperbole, is also an example of Simile.
<u>Explanation</u>:
Simile is a figure of speech which is used for comparison of 2 unlike things using like or as for example : white as snow , red as an apple. Similes are like metaphors. But metaphors are not the same as similes. Authors use simile to present their writings as exciting as a spontaneous show of fireworks. Here in the statement "They leaped like deer on the moon" which is an exaggeration but the use of direct comparison showing excitement.

An example of a moral dilemma using direct characterization would be :
<span>Jake, brave, pitiful, and older than his years, gazed down at his starving family. His mother had passed on a few months ago, and her dying wish was that the family stay together. Jake knew the foster system; it was unlikely that they could all stay together, especially with his track record with the law. Yet, he knew that they would not survive long without more food and money. He felt torn between fulfilling his promise to his mother and that other promise he made, the promise to himself. He had vowed to change his life when his mother was diagnosed with cancer. Stealing would fulfill her promise (as long as he didn't get caught) but break the promise to himself that made him a new man. This new man cared for his siblings; what would happen to his family if he became a thief?
