Outside Reading

For my outside reading assignment I am reading Treasure Island by Robert Louis Stevenson. So far I am enjoying this book. It grabbed my attention from the first page. It describes a seafaring man with a big sea-chest beneath his arm approaching the inn that the main character’s family owns. At this point I could tell that the story would be full of pirates and adventure.
So far, I think the dominant literary element is imagery. There isn’t a lot of it but I haven’t found very many cases of the other elements so imagery is probably the best choice. I am only about one fifth of the way through the book so I’m expecting this to change. I think the author used imagery in the way he did to enhance the setting of the story. For example, when something sad or bad is going to happen, he foreshadows it by creating a bitter cold or dreary, rainy atmosphere.
The tone in Treasure Island­ shifts from chapter to chapter but the chapter that sticks out with having the strongest tone would be Black Dog. In this chapter vexed would be the obvious tone. When Black Dog comes to visit the captain, the meeting is full of anger. They soon begin yelling at each other and then they each draw their swords and battle.
