Slaughterhouse - Five Literary Term: Hyperbole

Hyperbole
  • Def.- over exaggeration
  • Ex.- pg. 178, "Dresden was like the moon now, nothing but minerals."
  • C.- The Americans and their guards come out of their shelter to see the devastation of Dresden and Billy remarks that it looked like the surface of the moon.
  • C.- The hyperbole that Dresden resembled the moon serves to reveal
  • C.-both the theme of the destructiveness of war and that Billy felt isolated from other humans, that he would imagine that he was on the moon, which is also evident in his content life on the planet Tralfamadore.

  1. Greetings from California! I'm bored at work so I decided to browse your website on my iphone during lunch break. I enjoy the info you present here and can't wait to take
    a look when I get home. I'm shocked at how fast your blog loaded on my cell phone .. I'm not even using WIFI,
    just 3G .. Anyhow, fantastic blog!

  2. First of all I want to say excellent blog! I had a quick
    question that I'd like to ask if you don't mind. I was interested to find out how you
    center yourself and clear your thoughts prior to writing.

    I've had a difficult time clearing my thoughts in getting my thoughts out there. I do take pleasure in writing but it just seems like the first 10 to 15 minutes tend to be lost simply just trying to figure out how to begin. Any ideas or hints? Many thanks!

  4. I seldom drop comments, however i did some searching and wound up
    here "Slaughterhouse - Five Literary Term: Hyperbole".
    And I actually do have 2 questions for you if it's allright. Is it simply me or does it give the impression like some of the remarks appear as if they are coming from brain dead people? :-P And, if you are writing at other social sites, I would like to follow anything new you have to post. Would you make a list of every one of all your public sites like your Facebook page, twitter feed, or linkedin profile?
