Joy is reading a passage from her favorite story. she enjoys the passage because of the deliberate exaggeration. the writer describes people, things, or events as if they were much greater than they really are. which literary device is the author using in the passage?

Hyperbole.

Explanation:

Hyperbole is the overstatement of things, making them appear more than they really are. This exaggerated form of expression makes the things seem more than they are in reality. So, with the description of people, things and events as if they were much greater than they really are, the writer is using exaggerated means to emphasize on them. This method is known as hyperbole, the deliberate use of extra details/ expression to describe the things.

based on the biblical principle proverbs 16: 32, i agree with the author of the passage "better is it that it takes longer to be angry than the strong " to the extent that i share the philosophy that the nobility of heart demonstrates the strength of a person. those who are very proud, get angry easily and show their anger toward others are really weak, but those who are noble and do not constantly obfuscate or contain their feelings of anger, are strong people
