  6. Example SlideHyperbole Definition: An exaggeration that if taken literally would be a funny or unusual image. Example:Casey at the Bat It looked extremely rocky for the Mudville nine that day; The score stood two to four, with but an inning left to play. So, when Cooney died at second, and Burrows did the same, A pallor wreathed the features of the patrons of the game. Explanation: This is a hyperbole because it is saying that Cooney died at second when he actually didn’t die, he just struck out of the game.
