entire life.
Explain this hyperbole. What is it’s purpose?

Till China and Africa meet,
And the river jumps over the mountain
And the salmon sing in the street.”

-As I Walked Out One Evening, by W. H. Auden


Explain this hyperbole. What is it’s purpose?
“Continuous as the stars that shine
And twinkle on the milky way,
They stretched in never-ending line
Along the margin of a bay:
Ten thousand saw I at a glance,
Tossing their heads in sprightly dance.”

I Wandered Lonely as a Cloud by William Wordsworth

To see such sport,
And the dish ran away with the spoon.

The sky is low, the clouds are mean,
A travelling flake of snow
Across a barn or through a rut
Debates if it will go.

How some one treated him;
Nature, like us, is sometimes caught
Without her diadem.

2. Copy down the words that show alliteration
(Hint: Say the words out loud!)
I ate a spicy pepper I dove right in the freezer
From my brother on a dare. To relieve the burning feeling.
The pepper caught my head on fire
And burned off all my hair. I drank a thousand soda pops
And chewed a ton of ice
My mouth erupted lava To try to stop the scorching
And my tongue began to melt. Of that spicy pepper’s spice.
My ears were shooting jets of steam.
At least that’s how they felt. At last, the flames extinguished,
I admitted to my brother,
I ricocheted around the room. “That pepper was the best one yet.
I ran across the ceiling. May I please have another?”
Onomatopoeia
