Answer 1

the hall sounded like a packed foot ball stadum

Answer 2

One example of hyperbole in the book "Speak" by Laurie Halse Anderson is when the protagonist, Melinda, describes her math teacher's voice as a "pin that jumps off the linoleum and nails me to the wall." This exaggerated description conveys the intensity of Melinda's discomfort in the classroom. Another example is when Melinda says, "The whole face is melting off her skull and all her teeth fall out. Just my luck to have geometry on Doomsday." This hyperbolic imagery emphasizes Melinda's dread and exaggerates her feelings about attending math class.
