1) Petty Officer Third Class Nathan Brukenthal- Hero
General David Petraeus- role model
Alex Rodriguez- Lier
Barack Obama- leader
Michael Phelps- athlete
2)The picture of the door knob/lock was the strongest metaphor in my opinion. A lock is a barrier that separates people from things. Oskar and the other characters are separated from things that they want through barriers in life. In Oskar's case he is separated from his father by the natural barrier of death. The lock is symbolic of what keeps them apart.
A metaphor is a figure of speech where one word is used to represent something that it is not. For example Fifty Cent claims to have chosen this name because "its a metaphor for change". Fifty Cent uses a name that usually represents coined money(pocket change) to mean change in the sense of transformation or conversion.
