We have already worked on: similes, metaphors, and personifications.
Today, we’ll work on 2 new terms
Watch the video : Allusion
Watch the video: Hyperbole
Now that you understand what ALLUSION and HYPERBOLE mean, can you find examples in “Romeo and Juliet”?
Can you find examples in songs that you like?

Romeo and Juliet
Hiperbole:
“bring me my Romeo and let me hold him in my arms. And when he dies, take hima and cut him in to little stars. He will make the face of heaven look very fine. Everyone will love the night.
Allusion:
She is as beutifull as Look for me tomorrow and you will have to find my tomb.
My Songs
hyperbole:
Take me through the night
Fall into the dark side
We don’t need the light
We’ll live on the dark side
Allan Waker, Song “Dark Side”
allusion:
And I was ’round when Jesus Christ
Had his moment of doubt and pain
Made damn sure that Pilate
Washed his hands and sealed his fate
Sympathy for the Devil, The Rolling Stones
Thank you pat!! I realy have fun with the videos, But I don’t now what to put!!
Maybe later you come up with something!!
Hyperbole: “she is looking up at the stars, but her eyes are brighter than they are.
Allusion: “ you behave wildly like an animal”.
Tomi, the allusion is not right, it has to be more specific
Romeo said to Juliet that he love her like the moon, but she didn’t want that their love be like the moon because the moon changes every month.
Also, in Romeo and Juliet, She said ‘These words mean death to me’ What Juliet means is that the words that the Nurse told to her, hurts Juliet very much.
One of my favourites songs is “Something just like this” from Coldplay and I could find some allusions there when it says “Achilles and his gold, Hercules and his gifts, Spiderman’s control, and Batman with his fists”.
An example of an hyperbole could be “Cry me a river” from Justin Timberlake. The title is already a hyperbole because it is impossible to cry a river.
In Romeo and Juliet an hyperbole could be when Lady Capulet says to Juliet: “He needs a wife, and yo will make his life complete”.
Facu!! so many great examples!! Congrats!!
When Juliet said she couldn t live without him, it was a HYPERBOLE.
When Romeo and Benvolio are talking, and Romeo is complaining that Rosaline does not return his love. According to Romeo: “She’ll not be hit with Cupid’s arrow; she hath Dian’s wit” (I, i), Cupid was the ALLUSION.
Song Allusion : Better than words by 1D
The second verse after the chorus has song titles as lines.
Up all night by 1D names Katy Perry before the chorus.
Song Hyperbole : Through the dark by 1D
In the beginning of the chorus says ‘Oh I would carry you over fire and water for your love’.
Good examples Mateo! Congrats!
1, allusion: “But all so soon as the all-cheering sun
Should in the farthest east begin to draw
The shady curtains from Aurora’s bed,
Away from light steals home my heavy son”
explain: Lord Montague refers to Aurora – the Roman goddess of dawn. Lord Montague expresses his concern for his son Romeo, stating that he has often seen
HYPERBOLE: There are no world behind Verona walls. explain: It means it is the east, and Juliet is the sun. Airse, fair sun, & kill the envious moon, Who is already sick and pale with grief.
HYPERBOLE song: the song so happy,” So happy I could die” it mean that she has a lot of happier.
Excellent work Fran!!
I really like the song intentions from Justin Bieber and it says“gorgeous make em’ ,drop dead, you’re a killer”and that’s a Hyperbole because it’s not saying that she kills literally people with her beauty she is overreacting to her beauty.
Great example Juani!!
Juliet: “These words mean death to me”
It is a HYPERBOLE she is saying the words that her Nurse is saying to her hurts her very much
kryptonite.
“if I go crazy then will you still call me superman”
Matute what is this allusion or hyperbole?
1-In Romeo and Juliet, Romeo said to Juliet that her love is like the moon but Juliet said to Romeo she dont want to be like the moon because the moon change every day.
2-In the song ‘’jumy’’ the singer said jumy, jumy, jumy jumy but he was referring to the food.
Juani, the second example is not clear. al allusion would be the mentioning of “doritos” for example..
I know a song called “De ellos aprendí” that it says “desde el león que se hizo rey” and that is an example of allusion.
Alullions: Ive got moves like jagger. Maroon five
Hyperbole: we only said goodbye with words i died a hundred times. Amy winehouse
Killing me softly with his song. Roberta flack
Great work Ciro!!!
I know a song called from them I learned that it says “desde el león que se hizo rey” and that is an example of allusion.
Rewrite the Stars ⭐️
Hyperbole:
But fate is pulling you miles away
And out of reach from me.
Great example Viole!!!
yes “the world hasn´t seen a girl as beautiful as rosaline”
yes “you make me feel!!, INVINCIBLE” no one is invincible.
Good!! 2 hyperbolic examples!!
Thousand Years – Christina Perri:
I have died every day waiting for you.
