What are the options? I've read this book plenty of time so if you told me the options I could give you the answer.
To finish the analogy there should be a synonym of homage such as: allegiance, loyalty, duty, tribute, deference, respect, honor. Any of these should work. Hope this helps.
It relied most heavily on the Character element of
literature. Of you have noticed, this book was written through the narrator’s
point of view. This is regarding all his experiences which in the end points
out the message of the author. It used the person or the main character itself
to portray all his life experiences.
