Treasure Island: Imagery

For my outside reading I chose to do Treasure Island and I think that imagery is the best literary element to describe the book. It uses a lot of jargon and and descriptive language to create pictures and images in my head. The author uses imagery because it creates more of a distinct feel to the book so it doesn't just go on and on like some books tend to do. It just makes it an easier read.
Imagery helps the reader be more involved like he/she is actually there. That kind of thing helps me get more into a book than something like if they used point of view. In many parts of the book I was able to feel the emotions the characters were experiencing and made me feel like I was really there. The way the author describes the pirates just puts these scary, dirty men in my mind. I wouldn't want to mess with them.
Overall, I am glad that imagery was a big part in the book. It helped me see things more clearly and helped me enjoy the book more.
