A topic from this weeks reading that interested me the most
is the use of hyperboles. Hyperboles
are a figure of speech, which exaggerates emotions and adds emphasis. I found
this interesting since everyday I hear different types of hyperboles whether I am
at work or at school. An example of a
hyperbole is when someone says “my eyes are going to burn out of my skull”,
when really the person could have just seen something disturbing that they may
have not wanted to see. A time when I
use hyperboles the most is when I am at work.
I often say, “I love working here at Costco so much I think I’m going to
come in and work on my day off”, when really I absolutely hate that place and I
will be no where near my work on my day off.
I use hyperboles at work to add emphasis on how much I don’t want to be
there, and a lot of people feel the same way so they joke the same way.
