Read the blog entry below and answer the question that follows:
At first I dreaded going to sixth grade camp. I was sure the food would be poisonous, I would freeze to death in my sleeping bag, and the other kids in my cabin would never talk to me. But was I wrong! In fact, it was the best week ever! I went horseback riding and participated in a ropes activity with a zip line course. After the course, I climbed to the top of a pole using only ropes and carabiner clips, and then I rappelled off the top. I even made a new best friend. Oh, by the way, the food was delicious. It tasted better than my mom's! (But don't tell her.)
Review the sentence below.
I was sure the food would be poisonous, I would freeze to death in my sleeping bag, and the other kids in my cabin would never talk to me again.
What type of language is the author using to make his/her point?
Technical language
Literal meanings
Denotative language
Hyperbole
Hyperbole is the figure of speech used to exaggerate one's point. For example, surely the food couldn't be poisonous because the camp would no longer be in business, but the author wanted to convey the idea that the 6th grader was very scared to go to camp, so the author used exaggeration.
