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.

Take shorthand notes as you listen critically to part of President Barack Obama’s inaugural address.
fiasKO [112]

Answer:

On President Barack Obama's inaugural address, he exalts America ancestors, and forty-four presidents before him. Their strength in the face of adversity. Also reflects on the prosperity and calm that America has lived through these presidents, but it calls attention to the times of crisis in which sometimes the oath was made.

He speaks of wars, times of violence and hatred, and of a weakened nation. That it is necessary to make difficult choices to prepare the nation for a new era.

Also he remembers that generations have faced  wars, fascism, communism, but had won not only with missiles, but alliances, convictions, and values. Qualities like humility and moderation. Power alone can't change things, but is necessary prudent use; that security emanates from the justice, and strength of their example, as a nation.
