The person above me is right, it is a Hyperbole. An Exaggeration of figurative speech. Here’s what to look for when you’re trying to identify what type of figurative speech is in a certain poem or passage. A simile used “like” or “as”. A metaphor uses “is” and “a”. A Hyperbole uses exaggerated sentences expressing how hungry someone is or how angry another person could be. It’s generally used in our language today because most of the youth is dramatic.
