The clock is a metaphor for a person, whose life is ending. This 'clock-person' ticks to their death, like the clock's last tick-tocks before it dies/stops.
In "The Great Gatsby," the clock is a metaphor for the passing of time and the inevitability of change. It symbolizes the idea that time is constantly moving forward, regardless of the characters' desires or actions. The clock serves as a reminder of the fleeting nature of life and the impermanence of human endeavors.
It means that the sound of the crowing of the rooster (cockerel) in the mornings woke the soldiers up. The rooster acted like an alarm clock. 'Alarm clock' is therefore a metaphor for 'rooster'. Had the sentence read 'The far-off rooster was like an alarm clock for the sleeping soldiers' it would have been a simile.
