Treasure Island Connections

In Treasure Island by Robert Louis Stevenson, Jim Hawkins develops a growing sense of integrity and eventual ability to do what is morally right, no matter what the personal cost. In the beginning of the novel, Bill, Jim’s friend dies and still owes money to Jim’s family. Jim wants to take all of his money instead of what he is owed. Jim exclaims, “‘Mother’, said I, ‘take the whole and let’s be going.’”(25) Here, Jim’s impulsive actions demonstrate his greediness, especially because no one is watching him rob a dead man. Later in the novel, on the boat, Jim hears his fellow crew member Long John Silver plan a mutiny and tells Captain Smollett. Jim “did as [he] was bid”, sat down, and “told the whole details of Silver’s conversation”. This

I would definitely recommend this book to a fellow student. If I had to rate this book from one to five stars, one being terrible, and 5 being It was amazing, I would give it 4 stars. The reason I would give this book 4 stars is because there are some parts of the story that aren’t explained, such as why the ships did not come back from England with supplies. I also give it a 4 star because it is not the most difficult book to read and it is not very challenging to read. This book can definitely compare to other books of it’s size, it has excellent word choice , when the author describes something, she uses great word choice to describe it. This quote from the book is a prime example of the detail portrayed in this novel, “ Each afternoon the wind came whistling in from the Sound a little earlier. Low, chilling fog lasted a little longer each morning.” This book is definitely a book that explains the colonists travels and hardships of trying to settle

What’s more, is that it seems as though the Islands are intentionally, by the author, kept serene and sacred, so to speak. At a point Rodya intends to bury that which he has stolen from Alyona under a bush somewhere on the Islands, because they are far away from people, and he feels that no one will ever find his goods there. He never makes it to his destination, however; as the book describes it, “he was not destined to get to the Islands” (108). On his way there, he finds a hiding place that he deems suitable, and hides his stolen treasures there. It is as though some outer force is ensuring that the Islands remain a place of stability and rationality- the complete opposite of the taverns.

Island hopping was the Marine Corps strategy to fight the Japanese during World War 2. It was effect in winning the war. One island, Iwo Jima became one of the most important events that has taken place in American history. One of the most historical battles marines fought during the pacific campaign lead by General Douglas Macarthur.

But, the way the author used symbolism, foreshadowing, and relatable quotes stood out to me the most. When I was reading and even after, I found myself making connections and thinking deeper into the books

A book is something that opens the door to our inner minds and shatters the boundary between our imagination and reality. The book that I read is called The Sea of Monsters has been a trail of adventures and laughs as the characters soar through obstacles and triumphs. Percy Jackson, might seem like an ordinary kid that goes to an ordinary school along with his ordinary classmates. But, Percy is a little special himself. His very father is the god of the sea. This book told a tale of Percy and his companions, rescuing their beloved camp, and also Grover, an old friend. What I love about the book is that each of the characters have different and fascinating personalities that made them unique to each other. For instance, Percy and Tyson with their good hearts; Polyphemus and Luke with their obsessions with revenge; and the monsters who tried to annihilate the Camp Half Blood.

Another aspect that attracted me to novel was they way it was written. Although the book did have separate chapters, the way that it is written make the novel flow as if it was one big paragraph. There are moments in the story where characters converse but speech is not noted by quotation marks or paragraph breaks. This is a type of writing that even the most experience authors fail to accomplish, but Cole made it seem so effortless. Such a style of literature is bound to keep readers interested. If felt as if the reader was reading a diary versus a novel. Included in the novel includes forms of

He had taken me aside one day and promised me a silver fourpenny on the first of every month if I only keep my “weather-eye open for a seafaring man with one leg,” and let him know the moment he appeared. Change can be positive or negative, it is unpredictable, and it is inevitable. Silver in the book Treasure Island changes in positive and negative ways such as standing up for Jim when the rest of the mutineers want him dead, turning on Jim and the rest of the non-mutineers, and taking off with a sack of gold. Long John Silver from Treasure Island by Robert Louis Stevenson changed by the forces and his identity changed because of friends such as Jim and fellow buccaneers, the greed for the buried treasure, and the conflicts between good and

Rich! Rich! I says. And I’ll tell you what: I’ll make a man of you , Jim. Ah, Jim, you’ll bless your stars, you will, you was the first to find me!”

As the years have gone by there have been some successes in finding articles in the pits, including a small piece of parchment that said vi

Treasure Island is a novel by Robert Louis Stevenson. The story is about a boy named Jim Hawkins who finds a treasure map that leads to Captain Flint’s treasure. Jim takes the map to Dr. Livesey, who puts together a crew, who set sail on the Hispaniola to Treasure Island. One theme that is shown throughout Treasure Island is greed. Greed is an intense and selfish desire for something, especially wealth, power, or food. (greed,1) The theme exhibited in this book, greed, causes dishonesty and betrayal. Three characters that vividly portray characteristics of greed are Long John Silver, Benn Gunn and Israel Hands.

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.

These examples show both the author’s and the protagonist’s challenge to the order of things and the complete belief the character has. The best example of this is on line eight when the king says that he ‘shall not give you the boat’ the man replies ‘with calm assurance’ ‘you will’.
