One example of understatement in Barry's essay is when he states that men are scum when it comes to helping in the kitchen. Barry intends to be funny, but there is some truth to his statement, as stereotypes still exist between the sexes. Turkeys were being cooked when Barry devised his commentary and are used ironically in the title as a humorous jab at men.

Fresher and freshest

He was so full that he don't need eat for another decade.

spicier, spiciest

"He kept it as orderly and spotless as a military barracks"(22).

"...Chris McCandless was at peace, serene as a monk gone to God"(199).

A hyperbole is a figure of speech in which exaggeration is used for emphasis. Here are a few examples: * Im so hungry i could eat a horse. * There are millions of other things to do. * You're always doing that. * Running faster than the speed of light. * You could be Miss Universe. * He lives a million miles away. * I waited in line for centuries. * I've told you a million times don't exaggerate.

Usually the figure of speech which is called a simile compares two words, or two objects or ideas, that describe things which normally aren't a bit like one another.

An example of a simile is: 'My love is like a red, red rose.'

Or, you might say, 'My maths test was as prickly as a holly bush.'

cheaper, cheapest

more industrious and most industrious

Think of it as good, better, best. As you move from positive to comparative and superlative you are increasing the number of others in the class that are being talked about.

Ex. Soft, Softer, Softest: This toilet paper is soft. But between these two kinds, this kind is softer. And when we compare it to two or more others, we find that it is the softest.

It is a common mistake to think that an object you use the superlative with must be superior in that quality to an object you use the positive with. That is not true. A superlative is only superior in that quality with respect to the other objects it is compared to.

For example: "Rabbit fur is soft. I'd much rather have underwear made out of it than out of the softest sandpaper." The positive "soft" is applied to the rabbit fur, and the superlative "softest" is applied to the sandpaper. Of course it is superlative only when compared to other sandpaper.

Hyperbole in "The Absolutely True Diary of a Part-Time Indian" adds humor, exaggeration, and emotional impact to the story, enhancing the reader's engagement with the narrative. It helps convey the protagonist's unique perspective and the challenges he faces growing up on a Native American reservation.

most helpful, more helpful

The superlative of selfish is "most selfish" and the comparative is "more selfish".

Tuesdays with Morrie is a nonfiction story about a man named Mitch who reunites with his former teacher, Morrie after 16 years. Morrie has ALS, also known as Lu Gehrig's disease, which causes him to lose control over his body, one part at a time. Mitch learns priceless lessons through Morrie, who does not fear his own death, nor does he hide it.

I had sex at home when it was too hot outside. The feeling of sex felt nice. You should have sex soon!

The superlative of slim is slimmest.

Hyperbole is intentional and obvious exaggeration. Examples of hyperbole are "I'm starving", when you're only very hungry. "I'm dying to see you", meaning that you're really looking forward to it.

more amazing, most amazing
