A Hyperbole is a rhetorical literary tool meant to evoke strong feelings or emotions by using exaggerated figure of speech. It is a comparison emphasizing something obvious and is not to be taken seriously, as it is a huge overstatement. It is used in fictional literature and as a marketing technique.

**Examples of Hyperboles:** //"Her brain is the size of a pea."// //"If I can’t buy that new game, I will die."// //"I have a million things to do."// //"They ran like greased lightning."//
