Revolver Post 3

This passage is explaining how the revolver works and why Einar believes it is perfect, ““Imagine I took this cartridge, and lifted back the gate on the back of the cylinder here. It slides into one of the six chambers, a perfect fit. Everything measured and made to perfection. I pull back the hammer on the back of the gun, just halfway at first, so I can rotate the cylinder into place. Now the cartridge we loaded is sitting directly under the firing pin, on the underside of the hammer.” While Einar spoke, Sig gazed at the gun, and the gun alone. Einar pulled back the hammer to its full extent, which set into place with a tidy click, and now Anna couldn’t help looking at the gun as well.” This passage is very very descriptive, it hooks the reader by using a lot of detail to describe how the gun works; Einar thinks it is the most perfect machine on earth, so he explains how the contraption works with a lot of detail. It helps the reader to picture the gun and the actions that Einar is taking to load the gun and what is happening inside of the gun when he does so.
