Answer:

A hyperbole is a figure of speech where the word choice is greatly exaggerated to emphasize the impact or meaning.

EX: I'd love you for a thousand lifetimes.

^

While obviously not, the exaggeration emphasizes my meaning.

A hyperbole in the poem could be "Till a' the seas gone dry..."

Burns emphasizes that he will still love thee, even when the seas dry up, which both acts as a metaphor and hyperbole.

Which poetic techniques does Lowell use in the first three lines of this poem?
gladu [14]
Enjambment - the sentences do not finish with the end of the line.
Simile - "like a slackened drum"
Maybe even hyperbole, since it is an exaggeration.

oksian1 [2.3K]
In two different settings, there may be different trials to be faced or different rules. Depending on where the character is will affect the way they act. For example, if a character was at a fancy restaurant they may act differently than they might've if they were at a crime scene. I hope this is helpful!!
