Metaphor- a colorful image portrayed through a relationship with a generally unrelated object.

A metaphor that is commonly referred back to throughout the entire novel is that of "heavy boots." This phrase becomes such a static part of the story you tend not to notice it after the first section of reading however it is constantly brought back up. It refers to the "heavy" feeling one might obtain when an important or burdensome event occurs.
