Exaggeration

  Exaggeration is a statement that represents something as better or worse than it really is. It is often used as an important element in literature. I love to use exaggeration because it seems to make things sounds more interesting, and describes the words with imaginings in our minds. People sometimes talk with exaggeration but seldom find out, such as "I've answered this question once, in fact, I've answered it a thousand times." The sentence shows the inpatient of answering the same thing over and over again, though the person might didn't answer it a thousand times. Another example is " Its action was so funny that I was overwhelmed with laughter". I won't be overwhelmed with laughter unless there is a water flood in laughter. Therefore, it's an exaggeration.  In addition, exaggeration is famous to write imaginative poetry. When a person exaggerates in a poem, he or she usually picks one characteristic of the thing and overstates it as wildly as possible. The crazier the exaggerations, the more exciting the poem is. Exaggeration emphasizes the action and overstates it unbelievably. It seems to be more absorbing cause we readers think the action is incredible, and it often makes the sentence lively and vividly.
