I am reading Treasure Island for my outside reading book and so far I think it is pretty good and it does grab my attention from the start. It is fairly interesting because it starts right out with adventure.
I believe the dominant literary feature is imagery. I think the author includes it to describe what is going on and it paints a picture in my head. I believe it wasn't to hard to figure it out but at the very beggining there are several different ones.
The tone switches alot for the first chapter I think it is informative, it is informing you about the characters. Then it switches almost every chapter like a different chapter may be dramatic or zealous.
