I need two metaphors from the book.

Wade writes that in the time between the opening of the contest and the winning of the Copper Key, Anorak's Almanac became his "bible." This metaphor underscores the fanaticism with which Wade approached the contest, as well as the cultural and spiritual importance of the game. The contest came to embody every dream or aspiration Wade had for his future.

Metaphor:

“For a bunch of hairless apes, we've actually managed to invent some pretty incredible things.”
