The first sentence, followed by the repetition of the high modality statement, presents the hyperbolic representation of a need to metaphorically pause time, as well as the urgent requirement to freeze communication through cutting the telephone. The use of a hyperbole has accentuated the sense of urgency as well as the human emotion of stress through presenting a frozen moment in time, free of all communication, which metaphorically connotes an impossible, urgent task, effectively revealing the human emotion of stress. ]]> 2022-08-24 01:53:37 UTC https://padlet.com/hiney44/89wrduhz6y9m9q1b/wish/2269516973 https://padlet.com/hiney44/89wrduhz6y9m9q1b/wish/2269517079 The writer uses Hyperbole throughout his story to create a sense of exaggeration.
