This post is going to focus on what I think represents each character, and the characters I want to focus on are the main hero Joe Leland and the villain Anton Gruber and also I want to focus on Joes daughter Stephanie. To start off with I think that Joe Leland is best represented by an old west old gun fighter because he is an old world war 2 veteran that is on his way out and he wants his life to just be over and done with so it takes a lot more risk as a character in his last outing as a hero. The old west gun fighter also represents him as he wants to get out of the life he is in because he wants to retire and spend time with his grandkids and again to restate he is at the end of the line and he ends up at the wrong place at the wrong time and does what he can to save the people he tries to save and he realizes that in the end his age will be the biggest obstacle he has to overcome. The symbol that represents Anton Gruber is best represented by a bee because he acts as a pain in Joes thigh constantly badgering him when he gets to close to the hostages or one of his men and he end up pulling one over on Joe and tricking him with fake guns and other things like fake killing people. He is also represented by a bee because he is acting like a yellow jacket were he goes any were close to him he executes a hostage without any mercy and he hunts the main hero with all force. The symbol that represents Stephanie is a ghost of the past because she made a mistake that is what causes the events in the books to occur when the terrorist take over the building because she made a shady business deal that made the company look greedy. This also represents her because she is the reason why Joe shows up in the wrong place at the wrong time as she goes through her divorce and she wants to see him for Christmas and that comes back to bite everyone in the rump. To go out of the norm I think I should come up with a symbol that represents the Klaxon Oil company in which the story takes place because it represents greed because the whole story takes place around greed because the company made a shady business deal that made them greedy and the terrorist wants to dump 600 million dollars out the building then kill all the hostages so the setting in of it self is one of the main characters as it plays a part in every aspect of the book.
