"The Bean Trees"

So far I really like the book "The bean Trees", in my opinion it is not the kind of book that grabs and rips your attention into the book, but I also think that it is not a hard book to get into. The book starts out by describing how the main character is afraid to put air into tires ever since she saw one blow up and fling a man into the air. The way that it was written makes it interesting s that the reader wants to keep reading, but not so interesting that the reader feels they can't put the book down.
The literary term that is most obviously dominating my book is the element of imagery. Of all of the elements it is the one that is standing out so far (half way) through my book.
I think that the author might be using this element most frequently, because she wants the reader to feel like they are a part of the book. I think that the book was written this way because the story is kind of slow, not the unbearable droning on type of slow, but slow enough that the writer feels the need to give the reader mental pictures of things that are occurring throughout the book
The tone in the story from my perspective is what i believe to be satirical. The main character Taylor, makes fun of a lot of people and things throughout the book. I think that in the chapters the tone is almost always satirical or is written in a satirical manner. I don't think that it varies often.
