The dominant literary element in Treasure Island is imagery. It appears in the story countless times and adss a great effect. The author used this element because it adds so much more insight for the reader and allows the author to more easily explain deatil (characters, landscape, ect.). Another reason why the author used imagery so frequently is because this is a pirate story. Everyone has their own perspective on pirates, on what they look like, how they smell, work etc.
By using imagery this author is personifing his persective.
