In "Rocket Boys" by Homer Hickam, one metaphor is when he describes the rockets as "the little stars that could" (page 37), which symbolizes the boys' dreams and aspirations. Another example is when he refers to the town of Coalwood as "a black hole" (page 75), illustrating how the town's struggles and limitations seem to pull its inhabitants down, much like the gravitational pull of a black hole.
