Practice 6-D
In the short story Black Elvis, the titular character is called shockingly enough Black Elvis. This character's name is metaphorical in that he, like the real Elvis, plays the guitar. Oh yeah and he's black. The theme of the story seems to be that life is full of regrets and that everyone dies eventually.

according to your explanation of the title's metaphoric nature, any African American playing a guitar could be called Black Elvis. What about Elvis, king if Rock-n-Roll, makes the author use the name in the title?
