Summer Assignment Entry 1, "Revolver"


                 In my book Revolver by Marcus Sedgewick, There are not as many main characters as you would expect. But that doesn’t make them any less important. One main character is Einar Andersson, The father of Sig and Anna and husband to Maria and then Nadya. Einar’s two children are also important main characters named Sigfried and Maria. In this book Sigfrid or also known as Sig is the protagonist while the antagonist is another main character named Gunther Wolff. Einar’s wife is also a main character. She is a god loving woman named Maria. In Revolver there are three different settings, with two being far more important than the other. This book is placed in Nome and Giron, Two cities that lay far up north. This book includes flashback chapters to try to give you clues as to what’s happening now and why it’s happening. The flashbacks, which usually happen every other chapter go back and forth ten years at a time.  The final setting is 57 years into the future with Sig as an old man. It is placed in the Warwick Hotel in New York City.

                The main conflict in the novel is between Sig and Wolff about a deal Wolff struck ten years ago about sharing gold with his Einar, Sigs father. Einer evades Wolff for ten years but finally he catches him, and then it’s no longer Einars problem, now it is Sigs. Revolver reminds me highly of The Outcasts because of its wintery setting and how it shows the conflict between two people and the one who is expected to win doesn’t always. https://www.commonsensemedia.org/book-reviews/the-outcasts-brotherband-chronicles-book-1
