1. Dina has this persona she intents to show the world. I think that by saying revolver she showed herself as a strong, tough, delinquent girl and that nobody should mess with. We know however that she is far from that, she is a honor roll student who came from a low income family, and lived in a neighborhood of violence. I also think that she used this revolver comment as a way to get people away from her. I’m pretty sure she didn’t mean for the comment to get her a year of counseling however she did get the point across. She was a loner, and didn’t really welcome company. We know that by simply analyzing her reactions towards the counselors unexpectedly showing up. She didn’t like that so she started waiting for them naked to intimidate them into stopping the unexpected visits.
