7th Floor: Metal Candy Bar

hola como te llamas

hola muy bien

hi

Chocolate is viewed as a treasure and a pleasurable food and so maybe buck or any person in the book view a gun in that same way.

The guns clip is a precious part of the gun because it holds the bullets. This is used in relation to a candy bar because they are also very sought out.

Candy is something sweet and desirable, and is often related to kids loving and eating it. Guns are bitter and unwanted, and even though kids play with pretend guns in pretend wars, they're delusional games are nothing compared to the reality of the real world.

hello

I think he compares it to a candy bar because some can be bittersweet and it's similar to the gun because once you let that bullet go into someone you can either be really relieved and maybe feel happier because you got revenge or its bitter and it leaves you feeling weird or guilty

Maybe because the candy bar is the clip, and the wrapper is gun gun itself idk

Maybe because it is a metal part and it's hard, the phrase candy bar makes me think of a little kid wanting that candy bar like tentation, also like a candy is composed of many things.

 I think he compares the gun clip to the candy bar because certain things are valuable to certain people. The ammunition might be like candy to a child, They're eager to have it.

Candy bars are delicious and people are usually willing to get their hands on one, making them somewhat valuable. The gun’s clip is like a “metal candy bar” since it holds bullets, which are valuable for the shooter.

Why is it striking that Reynolds compares the gun’s clip (where ammunition is stored) to a “metal candy bar”? (p. 103)
