Hi there! A hyperbole is a literary device, which uses exaggeration. The most common effects of a hyperbole would be emphasis (which serves to illustrate a point/argument).
Example: I'm so hungry I could eat a horse.
Hyperbole is employed in the phrase 'could eat a horse', which exaggerates how hungry the persona is.
