Long John Silver's Change In Treasure Island

“Upon docking, I called Eurylochus and two others who were the smartest of my men to the shore to see the state of the island and its inhabitants. The land to the north, I assigned Eurylochus. The western domain I gave to the soldier in command behind Eurylochus, and the southern territory was handed to the soldier fourth in command. The eastern area, which was the largest in size and most populated with dense forests, I took for myself to explore. Any information the men acquired while searching, they were

John escapes from the sack by having a toad cut open a part of the sack and placed a soft-shell and two big bricks in the back. Ole John went into town again and made his money from telling people their fortunes. The master saw Ole John and was very impressed. He was so impressed that he asked John if he could make that much money if he threw himself in the river and every other time that John was asked that question he always replied "ah reckon so." With this final time Ole john knew he could have the ultimate revenge, so this time he replied "ah know so" (Gates, pg.64). John threw his master into the river just like how his master tried to throw him in the river, but with the weights. While John is throwing him in the river he gives him a last farewell with "Goodbye, Massa. Ah hope you find all you lookin' for" (Gates, pg. 64). This is the moment when Ole John felt his revenged was finalized and he finally felt his freedom. Tricksters use their wittiness and intelligence to gain their freedom; even if it is for the worst. Like, in this case, John killing his master. Not only did John do all of this to gain his freedom, but because he wanted his revenge. He wanted to show his master that he was not as low class as he thought. In the end, Ole John won this

Lastly, John's imagination plays an important role because it contains some truth to it. In one of the chapters John describes Kathy peering at him from under the water with an alert expression in her eyes but is unable to speak. This is stated when the author says:

John still feels as though he can relate with his brother on a new level of trust and respect. “But where was I? Who was I? How did I miss so much (Wideman 687)?” John admits to himself here that the situation with Robby had gotten so out of hand for him and his family most of the time they chose to look away. He has blocked so many wrongful actions from his mind that Robby’s “confession” made him realize all that he had been suppressing for years. John feels like a “hypocrite” because when the TV was stolen his father in law bought him and his wife a new one. With their homeowners insurance though they were refunded 100 dollars. Instead of giving it to his father in law he chose to keep it. When the truth came out his father in law was hurt and felt that John had manipulated the situation. Though this is a small mistake compared to Robby and his crimes,

In Of Mice and Men by John Steinbeck, George, one of the main characters, showed significant growth from beginning to end. At the start of the novel he had a different way of living and outlook on life than he did towards the end. At the start of the novel he was an idealist, and had been motivated, antisocial, short tempered, and much more.

Lastly, he could have changed by his language because he never cares about other people but himself. I think that he was very selfish about caring for himself and not other. In the beginning of this book he usually never watches his language he always swears like “FUCK OFF”, and “SCREW U ALL BITCHES”. He never had any manners to anyone including his own friends sometimes to Jink and Bigger. I believe that this is all Reefs fault because when he was young he should have taken care of his grandparents so they could have taught him some manner but he never cared about

John does whatever he wants, no matter what Hattie wants him to do or does not want him to do. John still has not matured because a responsible man and matured man do what they're supposed to do the right way. John seem to always want to be an a relationship but not really with someone he truly love. Hattie says “ Well if you do not want me you made lak yuh did.”(143). Showing he give signs that he need someone to be around him. Eventually John no longer want Hattie anymore and also hits her. He tries to be on his own for awhile to get his mind straight after all the drama and court dates with Hattie. John after a while goes right back to

	To just make things a little harder for John when he arrived at his old job, winter was close behind and he got snowed in for eight months. He took advantage of this time and wrote A Cup of Gold, a biography of the pirate Henry Morgan. A publishing company called McBride and Company agreed to publish A

There is a mystery that brings together the Holy Grail, a band of pirates, William Shakespeare, and Franklin Delano Roosevelt. This mystery is the Money Pit located on Oak Island. People have thrown millions of life savings hoping to get their hands on the treasure in the Oak Island Money Pit, and all have met with failure.

Jim Hawkins is the main character in Treasure Island. Jim playes many roles including a spy, a cabin boy, a son, and many others. He is very honest and loyal. For example, when he was held hstage at the stockade, Dr. Livesey told him to run for the woods and escape, but he wouldn't do it because it wasn't a honest thing to do. In the beggining of the book, Jim was just a shy boy who helped with the family inn.

The main character in the story is Jim Hawkins. He is a young boy who looks for adventure. He and a few experienced men search for Ben Gunn, and want to have him enlist in their cause. They steal the Hispanolia (a ship) and return it to the captain to which it rightfully belongs.

it is still a greater evil to me that I am self-educated: for the first fourteen years of my life I ran wild on a common and read nothing but our Uncle Thomas' books of voyage” (19). The nature of every young boy is to be outside and play with their friends. But, since Walton enjoyed reading his Uncles books, he spent a lot of time alone and did not have many friends. This continued throughout his life and even up to the point on the ship. Also, reading about his Uncles voyages gave Walton an ambition to go out and explore his World. Yet, Walton’s father was dying, and his guardian, Walton’s Uncle, did not let him have an adventure of his own, "These volumes were my study day and night, and my familiarity with them increased that regret which I had felt, as a child, on learning my father's dying injunction had forbidden my uncle to allow me to embark in a seafaring life" (16). After reading his Uncles books, Walton wanted to live a life like his, to go out and make his own adventures. But since Walton’s father was dying, he was held back from what he truly wanted. This made his ambition for adventure greater and greater. Once Walton had inherited a large sum of money, it made his dreams possible. Walton had listened to his Uncle and been secluded his entire life, but when the opportunity arose, he was able to go to sea, "You are well acquainted with my failure and how heavily I bore the disappointment. But just at that time I inherited the fortune of my

As soon as they get to Treasure Island, Jim and his comrades escape from the wrath of Silver and hide out in a bunker in the forest. Silver soon realizes this and declares war on Jim and his men. While exploring the forest, Jim comes across a man by the name of Ben Gunn. Ben is the only inhabitant of Treasure Island, and was marooned there three long years earlier. Ben decides to stay hidden in the woods while Jim goes back to the bunker. While at the bunker, Jim and his men are repeatedly attacked by Silver. The next day, Jim boards the Hispanola and beaches it miles down shore

Following the death of his father, Jim took this opportunity to discover himself on the open sea. It was at this time that Jim would embark on a journey he would never forget. “I said good-bye to my mother and the cove where I had lived since I was born, and the dear old Admiral Benbow” (Stevenson 59-60).

In a way, the journey in the canoe in itself contradicts the idea of providence. The purpose of the journey for Crusoe was to obtain more knowledge. Prior to this journey, however, he states "Thus I liv'd mighty comfortably, my mind being entirely composed by resigning to the will of God, and throwing myself wholly upon the disposal of his Providence." (108) Very shortly after this declaration of his submission to Providence, when referring to his exploration of the island on foot, Crusoe says that "the discoveries I made in that little journey, made me very eager to see other parts of the coast; and now I had a boat, I thought of nothing but sailing round the island." (109) As illustrated by the canoe journey, Defoe shows us that Crusoe's longing for knowledge, and for more than what God's Providence has provided him, almost costs him his life.
