Hyperbole

Hyperbole derived from a Greek word meaning “over-casting,” is a

figure of speech that involves an exaggeration of ideas for the sake of
emphasis.
“Man has learned to control
many of the scourges which
once threatened him. He has
learned to consume distance.
He has learned to project his
voice and his picture across
oceans and continents. He has
probed deep into the secrets
of nature and learned how to
make the desert bloom and
the plants of the earth
increase their bounty. He has
learned how to release the
immense forces locked in the
smallest particles of matter..”
Symbolism

Symbolism is a figure of speech that is used when an author wants to

create a certain mood or emotion in a work of literature. It is the use
of an object, person, situation or word to represent something else,
like an idea.
