The garbage reached across the state,
From New York to the Golden Gate.
this is hyperbole because garbage cant reach across the state.
At last the garbage reached so high
That it finally touched the sky.
this is hyperbole because garbage cant reach the sky.
And none of her friends would come to play.
this is hyerbole because u always have friends
That I cannot now relate
Because the hour is much too late.
this is hyperbole because it is neveer 2 late 2 fix anything
1. This line she did take the garbage out.
Would not take the garbage out!
2. This line is hyperbole because I didn’t touch the sky.
That it finally touched the sky.
3. This is a hyperbole because it didn’t roll down the hall
The garbage rolled on down the hall
4. This line is hyperbole because it didn’t broke the wall
It raised the roof, it broke the wall.
(And so it piled up to the ceilings,
The garbage reached across the state,
From New York to the Golden Gate.It cracked the window and blocked the door,it covered the floor )
this is a hyperbole because she is exaggerating about how much garbage there was from not taking it out. but in reality that wouldnt happen her dad would of took it out.
1 It filled the can, it covered the floor,
It cracked the window and blocked the door
Reason- if the can was over filled and block the door it would have to go out
2 The garbage rolled on down the hall,
It raised the roof, it broke the wall. . .
Reason- that ridiculous they wouldn’t live there by then
3 At last the garbage reached so high
That it finally touched the sky.
Reason- ok that’s not eeeevvvveeerrr happening.
4 And none of her friends would come to play.
Reason- who would want to play with her.
Pedro, Yera
1) The garbage rolled on down the hall, It raised the roof, it broke the wall. . . Greasy napkins, cookie crumbs, Globs of gooey bubble gum, Cellophane from green baloney, Rubbery blubbery macaroni, Peanut butter, caked and dry, Curdled milk and crusts of pie, Moldy melons, dried-up mustard, Eggshells mixed with lemon custard, Cold french fried and rancid meat
This poem is so out of hand they talk about how full the trashcan gets, they even use one line saying how the trashcan went out of state. But the poem I wrote in the top of the page shows how out of hand it is.
