OUTSIDE READING.
Treasure Island.
-So far, i am actually enjoying the book. It's very accurate and doesn't sound like some corny pirate book which is good. It's grabbing my attention than most books but so far its not amazing. It's not very hard to get into because it starts off quick and tells about the past.

Right now I cant really tell very well exactly what the dominant term is but it seems like either point of view or conflict.

I think the author may have written the book this way, to be either conflict prone or with different point of views to show the life of different people in the time of pirates and from the pirates view.

The tone right now hasn't changed much and is basically kind of somber. Its not very upbeat and seems kind of gloomy. With a family living on the top floor of the bar they run and not much money. Sickness and disease endanger them and the pirates also.

When I first pick up a new book and start into it, I usually look for important themes or symbols right off the bat that are intriguing or interesting to me. Things that have a special point or meaning to the book from the start. Usually a lot of books don't interest me very much but I try to find something important to me in them. If I do that and within the first few chapters I still get nothing, then sometimes I'll either read ahead so I have something to look forward to later in the book and so its a mystery for me from the point where I start to how the plot ends up forming later in the story and it gives me something to think about. And something to figure out. If I don't have the opportunity to find a quiet or calm environment to read in, I'll try and block out the sounds with either music or running everything I read through my head a few times to make sure I get it.
I tend to read books that have a confusing, twisted, and morphed plot because they're easier to understand to me and catch my attention much easier than anything else. Also books that are sports and action filled but also a little creepy and weird too. Books about forensics and old things are always alluring as well. I read fiction because nonfiction books are all fact and there isn't any creativeness or any twists in any non-fiction books. Fiction books can be create any way the author wants and in the way the writer feels fascinates them. Fiction books can relate to the real world or be almost exactly like our world or they can be like J.R.R. Tolkiens books with Hobbits and Orc Warriors and whatever else. Or about aliens or about non-existent wars and encounters that as put in a context just as if they were real.
