Outside Reading

When I was listening to presentaions of the books people read over the summer, I was most intrigued by Ahlora. I love adventrous, exiciting books and I think vampires would be great to read about for our english class. but again, "Don't judge a book by it's cover!" When I first started reading Dracula, it immediately grabbed my attention. It seemed a little spooky and mysterious. But with all those huge words and that sky high diction, it immediately made me want to throw the book across the room. But I tried to skim over the pages picking out the juicy parts of the story. Finally, I got to the good parts where the narrator meets Dracula and when Harker discovers Dracula's unusual diet and his out of the ordinary daily "naps". But now since I've gone past that part in the book, I've discovered a vast, space of boring. I'm stiil trying to push through the book.

I'm very unsure of the literary elements in Dracula...

I would think that Dracula is somber. It just has a dark feeling to it. I mean, vampires have a dark, evil thing about them that by thinking about them is probably going to give nightmares tonight. And I think it will probably stay the somber for the rest of the book (I read the thing on the back).
