Outside Reading

I'm reading Rebecca. Yeah, by Daphne Du Maurier or something. I'm too lazy to get my book right in front of me. Actually I'm not. And yes, I spelled it right. So anyways, I'm reading Rebecca by Daphne Du Maurier. The book is actually pretty good. It was super hard to get into and was boring in the beginning like most books are to me, but because it was a required read, I forced myself to read it more and eventually I got to a good part. When whats-her-face gets married to the rich dude. It never mentions her name in the book. I keep on thinking it's Rebecca because its always mentioned. But Rebecca is creepy 'cause she went out to this boat thing and drowned because the water was choppy. Choppy isn't exactly enough to toss you off the boat. Whatever. After the main girl got married the book started to actually make me want to read.

There's tons of imagery in the book. There's so much that sometimes when I'm reading I don't even notice it to mark it with those little sticky notes. I don't really mark much other stuff because its not poppish enough for me to see it. Poppish, you say? I make up words when I can't think of one to use. This one for instance, means something that is very noticeable. Yeah. I'm very sure that imagery is the one that is most obvious and dominant. The author is obviously just trying to make everything seem more detailed with all that imagery. That's why she was using all of it. It enriches the text and forms a picture in your mind. But that's why some people like books; it puts them into a world unlike their own. You could be jealous of this, or lucky from this, or any other emotion from the pictures that form in your head from imagery.

The tone. Erm... I can't really find a tone. Its basically like the author is impartial about the situation. I think she's trying to say that she felt that Rebecca was way more important that the main girl could ever be. She made Rebecca loved by everyone, made her beautiful, made her just overall awesome. And the main person's just like, 'bleh' and drab and simple and shy and not caring and stuff. Actually, now that I think about it, the tone isn't exactly impartial like I said, its more of nostalgic. Everyone is longing for Rebecca. Since nostalgia is when you desire for the past. And everyone is always "Rebecca always did things like this, Rebecca always ate this, Rebecca always went here at this time of the day, You should be like Rebecca, You are nothing like I thought your would be, I don't know why Maxim chose you after Rebecca, blah blah blah and such. And no, the tone doesn't shift with each chapter. Well, at least I don't think it does.
