Definition:
A hyperbole is a literary device wherein the author uses specific words and phrases that exaggerate and overemphasize the basic crux of the statement in order to produce a grander, more noticeable effect. The purpose of hyperbole is to create a larger-than-life effect and overly stress a specific point. Such sentences usually convey an action or sentiment that is generally not practically/ realistically possible or plausible but helps emphasize an emotion.
Example:
“I am so tired I cannot walk another inch” or “I’m so sleepy I might fall asleep standing here”.
is “the air is shattered” a hyperbole
Is “she doesn’t feel the same about us in her bones” a hyperbole?
“But there’ll be one who will collect my soul” , is this an hyperbole?
i think that’s a metaphor
Is this a hyperbole “but again there was only a soft hissing bubble of blood on his
mouth.”
What about “a sigh heaved by an aggrieved woman”?
No that is a onomatopoeia because of the word hissing
personification id say

I think so
Yes , it places emphasis on the emotion
is “I could not contain my excitement” a hyperbole?
Is a cold fear crept up my body churning my stomach and tightening its grip on my throat hyperbole?
That is personification because it is depicting the actions of fear as if it were a person

Is “i watched you slip through my hands a hyperbole”

What about “her love makes me strong”?
Hyperbole is an extreme exaggeration. Her love makes me strong may be a fact, but it’s not necessarily an obvious exaggeration. Her love makes me swim oceans, climb Everest, and jump to the moon, is a hyperbole.
