Interesting Part Of Book





                                 an interesting part of the book is when sig and his sister had to run from wolff and they walked across the snow. I think it is interesting because i have always thought that if you run across snow really fast than you would make it across without falling in but when they walked across they made it and when wolff ran across he fell in the snow and bled out all over the snow. and also i thought it was interesting because wolff tried to ask them to help him out of the snow and sig turned and said "is that my problem".

Good part of book Revolver

A interesting piece of the book was the part where Wolff starting joking about the death of Sig's father Einar, and Sig was getting very angry but did not do anything because Sig was really scared of Wolff.
It really showed how Sig was very scared of Wolff, and did not want to mess with him, but was very angry at Wolff. Which later leaded up to Wolff pushing Sig's limits and Making sig point a gun at Wolff. Which made his sister escape and, that concludes up to the ending of the book which is Wolff going to jail for many years, and all because Wolff pushed Sig over the limit.

First Half Of The Book






                              my summery of the book is that at the beginning of the book his dad dies from freezing on the ice and also his stepmother and his sister leave the cabin to go get help and a man named wolff comes to their cabin looking for gold that sigs dad stole from him and so wolff starts to beat on sig because he doesn't know where the gold is and then his sister comes back home and knot the mom, and so know the sister runs into the problem named wolff and so now the sister is being tied up so wolff and sig can go and find the gold.

Blog #5

I would chose the paragraph when Einar Andersson, the father in the book died because he froze to death. He probably would have survived if he probably didn't take off his glove. Once he took off his glove he died instantly. I think this was a significant point in the book because if Einar didn't die then his son, Sig Andersson wouldn't be sad. So that's why I think's it's an important event because his son was very sad when his father died. Also Sig lost his mother actually made him even more depressed. Hopefully he will get over it. Thank you for your time.

1ST HALF OF BOOK SUMMARY

Sig a boy starts off with his father dead, Einar laying on frozen ice, with papers strung out everywhere trying to light a fire.  He died because he took off his  gloves, and this makes Sig very sad about his dad because now he is lonely, and depressed.

After this he has many flashbacks of memories he had when he actually had a family, and when his dad told him info about the family gun. How the gun was pure beauty, but was not a toy. Sig's other family members did not like having a gun, and thought guns were made by satan. Soon after that Sig and everyone got to shoot the gun, and there was even more flashbacks from Sig.

Soon Wolff a strange man comes in Sig's home, and says that Sig's dad owes him gold from a while back, and has been looking for Einar for years. He soon threatens Sig, due to not finding the gold and uses Sig as a slave.

Summarize 1st half of the book

I think that the first half of the book was very depressing. First, Sig Andersson, the main character in the book witnessed the death of a lot of people like his father, Einar Andersson, his mother, and a group of people he didn't even know. 

Also, A weird, mysterious person named Wolff who never got along with Sig Andersson, Sig got hit by Wolff and Sig was gushing out blood out of the back of his head but during the end of the book he started to be less afraid of him.

So basically life for Sig Anderson is basically just a big Sad emotional, awful life but hopefully life will start to turn around for him.




      he wants to make sure his family is not hurt. Always goes outside with his sister before his dad left he asked if he could go. But his dad does not let him because it is dangerous.his stepmother and sister leaves and do not come back for months. 

His dad is dead and his mom is dead there is someone creeping around there house that is not someone friendly.He starts to step up to the stranger with a gun saying kill me kill me but he does not. And sig knows his gun is broken the stranger ends up blowing his hand off and sig and his sister run. 

He chases them now sig is strong tho and knows what to do. The theme all goes to a quote the quote is "even the dead tells stories" sig try's to decode this. When they find the gold there dad leaves them they do not tell us what they used it for. But at the end it has them really old but not rich with all that gold are they going to pass it down?

Most Interesting or exicting thing

I don't think there's really anything exicting thing that happen in Revolver but I think there's an interesting thing that happens in the book Revolver. When Einar Anderson died, he took off his glove because it said in the book that he laid there with one glove on. I still wonder why did Einar Anderson took off his glove? Why didn't he take off the other glove? Did the gloves help prevent frostbite? I think that some of these questions will be answered as I progress through the story.


                 


                                Cool events in Revolver.


                   I think the most interesting part in the book is when the son found his dads body on top of the ice and his rib cages where all tore out of him because the birds started to eat him. Why because for one I have never heard of birds eating people besides vultures. And I like to learn about like how people die and what happened to them when they were dyeing and stuff like that. Also in the book it like tells what happened to the body after words like how it started to relax and dethay. and thats why I like that chapter in the book.
I think the most interesting part of the book is where Sig finds his dead dad laying motionless on the ground, in the freezing weather. And the birds picked out his insides and his chest and stomach was just pulled out. Which was pretty cool, and it really changed the book a lot because Sig thinks about his dad 99.9% of the time. It also cuts back to times with Einar his dad, so we get to know more about him. Because you don't really know what happened to his dad in the beginning of the book. So my favorite part of the book so far, was when Einar died because it really just sets the tone for the book.


    the saddest part in the book is when the father dies.Sig is there by himself with a stranger because his mom and sister went some where.The stranger says he has business with his dad but the dad died so he said the son can still do the work him and his dad had then sig notices the revolver in the strangers pocket and he thinks there business is suddenly more dangerous.Sig thought the stranger
was dangerous from the start sig can not read his expressions he seems dangerous and sig is afraid that he may not be able to see his mom and sisters again before i mean they have been gone for 3 months no

How Does The Setting Effect the Story's Mood

It effects it a lot. One of the Reasons is because the setting takes place in a very cold place and his father was laying on the ice my guess is because he almost froze to death. He's still alive but if he would have been laying there for a little while longer then he probably would have froze to death and the story would probably not make that much sense. So it effects it by it being really cold weather and it almost killed Einar Anderson the father of Sig Anderson. So that's how I think the setting effects the story's mood.
The story cut to different times and places throughout the book so I can't do 50 settings at a time. I can do the main setting though, or the one that appealed to me the most. Which was the setting where Sig the main character, was in the freezing woods with his dead father.  I think the setting effects my character by freezing his butt off, and he is always so cold that he could barely think of what was going on. Also in the setting of the freezing woods his dad was laying dead on the floor so that adds some sadness to the setting. And the setting is what killed Sig's father, so that really makes Sig think about the setting, and give thoughts. His thoughts were scared of the cold, and sad about his dad freezing to death.

how does the setting affect the mood of the story

the setting of the story affects the mood by the intense cold.The way his father died is by taking off his gloves to start a fire because he fell into the river that was covered in thin ice.Which can affect the son and the stepmother and other siblings.With how careful they have to be one thing done wrong and they all can die with the son at the house by himself because the stepmother and other kids go somewhere and still have not come back he may be having the feeling he is all alone the feeling that there dead and the feeling of regret.

setting effects mood


                                   Revolver setting


                         I think the setting of the story makes it more suspenseful. I think it does that cause if the kid lived in a city where everyday people walk past you the dad wouldnt have died cause he wouldn't have had to go to town for supply's and the guy who came to their house probably wouldn't be acting so weird cause the whole city would see him do something he wasn't sapposed to do and he wouldn't be acting so weired cause the dad would be there. Also if the dad didn't die the mom and sister wouldnt have to go to town for help cause the dad didn't die.
