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”.
If stares could kill i would be dead by her stare.
She was so angry that she could burn the whole world.
I feel strong I could carry a mountain.
Fear stood in the way.
What about “butterflies flying in my stomach”
Metaphor I think
What about the glittering of the glass?
I am so lazy i can’t reach the door.

I’m so hungry I could eat a horse!
