A hyperbole is an illustration that is a huge exaggeration.
Matthew 7:1-3 -- about why we would look at the straw in our brothers eye, when there is a rafter in our own eye. Therefore stop judging others; look at yourself first.
Matt 23:24 -- about straining the gnat, but swallowing a camel. It would take over 70 million gnats to weigh as much as a camel. It's about making a big deal over little matters; while 'winking' over more important issues.
A hyperbole is a statement of extreme exaggeration to show emphasis.

Some examples of hyperbole in "When You Reach Me" by Rebecca Stead include Miranda saying she "could have won a gold medal in rationalization," or when she jumps off a high platform and describes it as falling "a million miles an hour." These exaggerated statements help emphasize the characters' emotions and add humor to the story.
Sure! Examples of hyperbole in mass media and newspapers may include phrases like "it was the best day ever" or "this is the worst possible outcome." These exaggerated statements are used to create strong emotions or make a point more emphatically.
