There is an example of an hyperbole on page 79, near the bottom. Lige Moss says "Ah rather be shot with tacks than tuh hear dat 'bout mahslef,". Hurston uses this to highlight the situation and how others feel about it.
While heavily styalized dialogue appears throughout the whole book, a great sample of it appears on page 111. Hurston uses this to emphasize location and its impact on how the story plays out.
On page 112, we see Janie's confidant, Pheoby, once more. Hurston uses a confidant in this story to provide the reader with events through a relatively flat character who serves as a medium between them and the character.
