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.
