In the excerpt from An American Childhood, Annie Dillard uses hyperbole to describe how a chase might have turned out: “We could have run through every backyard in North America until we got to Panama.” Think of three circumstances or situations, such as being very hungry, very tired, or very cold. For each one, write a description that includes hyperbole. In both “Miracles” by Walt Whitman and “In Just-“ by E.E. Cummings the authors use imagery to appeal to the five senses. Develop a graphic organizer to compare the imagery within the two poems. Be sure to address all five senses in your comparisons.
