behold outside reading

At this point in the book(treasure island) the literary element that has struck me the most is motif. the book is fairly easy to get into because there is quite a bit of action and suspense. being halfway into the book i know there is a lot in store for me. i think the author put motif in the book many times to get a point across to the reader. since the book is fantasy there is normally a very important theme so i think the author gets the theme across to the reader very well as a motif. in this novel the tone does shift almost every chapter. sometimes the chapter will start off happy and nice and whimsical and by the end it will be dramatic and somber. its an all around great book!!!!!!!!!
