Outside Reading Response

I am reading The Jungle by Upton Sinclair. It is a good book and I am really getting into it. When I started reading it I couldn't get into it, and I really wanted to put it down but I was forced to read it for the project and it is actually getting good.The obvious dominant literary feature of the novel is imagery. Even in the first chapter that the main thing the author wrote. I think the author wrote using imagery the most because he was describing what the conditions were like in Chicago in the first part of the twentieth century. The tone of the book is neutral concrete diction. It has some formal words but is filled mostly with normal diction.

Usually when I open a book, I look forward to the exiting parts of the story. I convince myself that it is going to start on the next word or sentence and try to find it. Most of the time, however, I learn all I can about the setting,the characters and ect. in the first few pages. Soon enough, the story picks up and I can read and focus on the book without much distraction.
As for the ideal place syndrome, It is very hard to find the ideal place to read. this summer I had the ideal circumstance often, but I also had a lot of time on my hands. now as i am starting to do more and more things the ideal place is getting rarer so i have to try to get used to it, and not desire the ideal place to read.
