Make Time Move Slowly

I think that the author used small details to make it seem as if the experience was longer than it actually was. He described each movement with the finest details making the action seem as if it was done slowly and carefully, when all the actions could have just taken place quickly. He also uses flashbacks which makes the reader think that during the time the character did the two things separately, but in reality people could think about something while doing something else. So the readers are seeing that the character has stopped and thought about what happened before, but when really the character was moving forward while thinking about the event at the same time. Also the author uses comas and ----s to stretch sentences and create a pause in time was if the character was waiting for what to do next.
