Writing Technique - Hyperbole
Writing Technique - Hyperbole
Hyperbole
is the writing technique of over-exaggeration to make a statement, idea or
point much stronger than it would be if written normally.
Usually, hyperboles don't make natural sense if taken literally. So this writing technique is expected to be over-the-top to strengthen the feeling the writer wants to express.
