Hyperbole In 'Angelica's Blasphemous'

298 Words2 Pages

Paragraph 1 It wasn’t my fault that Eliza decided to acquiesce (1) away my free time. She seemed to have an affinity (2) for meddling with other people’s lives. In addition, she is never circumspect (5) with any of her actions. My patience with her is starting to deplete (7), but calling her inconvertible (15) would be hyperbole (14). She does her best and her heart is always in the right place, that’s what really matters in the end. Paragraph 2 Angelica’s blasphemous (3) behavior still wasn’t enough to make father irascible (16). She has graffitied the buttresses (4), destroyed the scrupulously (21) ordered bookcase, and has acted much to surreptitious (23) for her own good. Yet father remains magnanimous (18). It’s unfair to say the least.
