Question

What type of figurative language is used in this sentence from To Kill a Mockingbird by Harper Lee?

People moved slowly then. There was no hurry, for there was nowhere to go, nothing to buy, and no money to buy it with, nothing to see outside the boundaries of Maycomb County.

Answer 1

It may be a hyperbole because it is exaggeration, it is not true there was absolutely nowhere to go, and nothing to buy, and no money to buy it with, and nothing to see outside the boundaries of Maycomb County.
