Outside Reading

I am reading the book Metamorphasis by Franz Kafka. I am really enjoying this book! A lot of books are hard to get into for me, because they have slow, boring begginings. But this book is captivating from the very first words. It starts out saying he woke up as a monstrous cockroach. This made me wanna keep reading to find out why this happens.

the dominant literary element, i could tell righ tfrom the start was imagery. The author uses imagery a lot because it really describes how he looks now and how he sees things as a cockroach so he needs to decribe that all. I also the tone is a lot of curiousty as to why he is a cockroach, but i just started so i'm not sure if the tone will change later on in the book.
