Explanation: A hyperbole is a type of figurative language that consists in exaggerating an event or a statement. In the given excerpt from "To Koll a Mockingbird" by Harper Lee we can see an example of a hyperbole, because when the speaker says that "there was nowhere to go" and "there was nothing to buy" it isn't meant to be taken literally, he is exaggerating to create an impact on the reader.
