Hyperbole Of My Dog
by Autumn Jones


Some example of hyperbole in this poem are "Little girl is my dog", "She sleeps like a log", "she has a huge mouth" and "hers eyes start to spin".

I think that "Little girl is my dog" means that she is a cherish person. And "She sleeps like a log" means that she sleeps peacefully and heavily. "she has a huge mouth" means she likes to eat. "hers eyes start to spin" means that the eyes shinny with excitement.

I think that this poet used those hyperbole to show ecstatic and excitement her little girl is.
