Long Answer
1. (Note: Part of this answer is close reading and part is from inference) Possible answers include disagreeing with Birdy’s future plans; concerned that Birdy is continuing with Richie’s path as a military man; unable to handle emotions, etc. Since the answer is not clearcut, general responses concerning how relatives of those who have enlisted deal with processing their emotions is also appropriate. (Various Chapters)
2. The novel’s figurative language is primarily in the form of similes. Most of these similes involve comparisons with death. (Various Chapters).
