Outside Reading

Rebecca by Daphne Du Maurier

When i first started this book i did not like it all. It was very slow and i just couldn't get myself into it at all. I think this is because i like getting books that bring me in right away! And not so slowly. I thought that it could have started of in a different way instead of the way that it did.

I think that Imagery is a big literary element so far in the story because she explains everything in great detail to where you can actually picture things in your mind very well! Also Motif would be another literary term that is going on in this book because Rebecca is a symbol that is constantly in the story and never goes away.

I think that the author may have used these literary terms because she didn't want to start the book too strong but not way to boring that you didn't want to quit reading the book right away, so she threw in imagery to keep you interested in what is going on at that time.

I think that the theme in this book would be somber, just because it doesn't seem like Rebecca ever smiles or laughs, or adds any happiness to her life in any way. And there haven't been any happy parts to take it out of the category of somber so far.
