    In Anzia Yezierska's Bread Givers of 1952, the author writes the book of a family of immigrant parents living in poverty in the ghetto of New York City. Yezierska’s use of a hyperbole and irony really emphasize the fact that Sarah's parents have been holding in their grudges for each other, leading to poor communication that later leads to an epic dispute. For so long, Sarah’s mother has been keeping her anger with her husband inside, but after he lost their family a fortune and had no remorse, she went ballistic. Mother’s hyperbole provokes the conclusion that Jeb’s confusing ideas of religion make her resent him, as Mother says, “That is why I am so deeply buried in the ground by you,” (Yezierska 125). Thereby, with this hyperbole, the author…

    Besnik stood at the door of the tent in which he had been a guest for the past few days. He had decided to leave as the sun was peeking over the horizon, because he would have hated to say goodbye to the gracious family that had taken him in, and wanted to wake before the dog. He slung his brown sack over his shoulder, and started his long trek down the dusty snaking path that made its way laboriously from the suburbs and rural areas to the cosmopolitan urban areas through the unrelenting brown, barren plains. He sighed with a heavy heart set, loping slowly with long strides. As he walked along, he tried to distract his mind from the challenge that lay ahead of him with all the wonders of nature around him.…
