I don't understand Hyperboles, Metaphors, Similes, or Foreshadowing! :'(
Hyperboles: An extreme exaggeration, for example “She is a million feet tall” or “That test almost killed me”
http://www.englishclub.com/vocabulary/figures-hyperbole.htm
Metaphors: are a comparison of two unlike things, for example “The dinosaur’s fence of teeth was terrifying” the dinosaurs teeth are being compared to a fence.
http://grammar.about.com/od/qaaboutrhetoric/f/faqmetaphor07.htm
Similes: Are very similar to metaphors with the exception of using like or as. “The dinosaur’s teeth were like a fence of daggers.” Here it is comparing the two things using like or as.

Foreshadowing: includes hints or clues to let you know what is going to happen in the story. For example a black crow is almost always a symbol for death in a story, and it often is used to give you insight into the fact that one of the characters is going to die in the story. This is a very important concept to understand because is appears frequently in classic literature, modern literature, and modern film that one encounters regularly.
