Hyperbole Worksheet

The document provides examples of sentences and how to change them into new sentences using hyperbole by asking "HOW" and providing an exaggerated description. Some examples of hyperbolic rewrites included describing a girl as being so sad she could swim in her tears, claiming to be so hungry one could eat a horse, and stating a package was so heavy it could be used as a dumbbell. The document demonstrates how to take simple descriptions and rewrite them in an intentionally over-the-top, exaggerated way through the use of hyperbole.
