Question

how can you identify hyperbole in a story?

Answer 1

A hyperbole is essentially an exaggeration that isn't meant to be taken literally. Here are some examples:

"It's raining cats and dogs outside"
"Cry me a river"
"That took you a million years!"
"She is as old as a horse"

None of these things are actually possible, but they explain a situation in an exaggerated manner.
