Hyperbole is not a sound pattern; rather, it is a rhetorical device that involves exaggerated statements or claims not meant to be taken literally. It is used to emphasize a point or convey strong emotions. Sound patterns, on the other hand, refer to the arrangement of sounds in speech, such as rhythm, rhyme, and alliteration. While hyperbole can be used within a sound pattern in poetry or prose, it is fundamentally a figure of speech rather than a sound-related concept.

This exaggeration underscores the fragility of time and the interconnectedness of events, highlighting the story's central theme of cause and effect.
