Treasure Island

For my outside reading book i am reading Treasure Island, by Robert Louis Stevenson. So far, I am enjoying it very much. After the first page, I thought that it was very easy to get into. It grabbed my attention right away by the way the author describes things, and also just what is going on in the book. It is very interesting to me.

Out of the five elements, imagery is what stood out the most. Everytime i pick it up to read, I get these pictures in my head of what the words create. I knew that this was going to be the literary element right away just by reading the first few pages; it was pretty obviouse to me.

The reason I think that the author chose to right this way is because it helps the reader get into the book easier. It's more captivating than if the main literary element was foreshadowing or something that did not have a lot of descriptive writing. I am glad this book contains a lot of imagery.

I think that the tone of the book so far is informative and partially zealous and somber. It is a little somber because it just seems a little dark. The pictures that the imagery give are mixed emotions for me. So far the tone has stayed the same through the chapters. But, I am sure it will be different as I keep reading. I can't wait to see what happens next.
