Respuesta :
The writer of the excerpt above used Metaphor, Hyperbole and Idioms. The second sentence, "She was all bones and angles" is an Idiom which indicates that Calpurnia is thin with no curves. The second figurative language used is Metaphor in which the narrator referred to Calpurnia as a "tyrant" which shows that Calpurnia is bossy towards the narrator. The third figurative languange used is Hyperbole, where the narrator exaggerated her relationship with Calpurnia as "a one-sided epic battle".
