My book, A Farewell to Arms by Ernest Hemmingway has been all right for me. It hasn't been drop dead boring, but it has been kind of slow and hard to get into. The book didn't really grab my attention until he was hit by a bomb, then things started to pick up a little but. It is a romance story, so it has to explain alot in the beginning, that I understand. I just want it to become a little bit more interesting right now, it hasn't grabbbed me yet. There isn't as much action as I expected.
There isn't one dominant literary element from the list yet. The two that stick out the most though are imagery and irony, which makes sense because there is a lot of imagery and irony in war. The author is using these literarty elements to show us in a word picture what is happening during the war, and what is happening during his time in the hospital. Imagery gives us the best pictures of what is happening. He uses irony to put a whimsical twist to the book, so it is kind of a funny romance.
The tone of the book is whimsically dramatically informative. the tone does not shift from chapter to chapter because I think that the author is trying to make a point out of the constant tone. This is unsure, but it is what I have observed so far.
If anyone that has read this book has had the same feelings I do toward the book, tell so in a comment about it. It would be appreciated.
Thank you for reading my blog!
