What Happened To John Silver's Treasure Island?

This research paper discusses the Three Mile Island incident to include what started it, the results in the aftermath, and how it could have been prevented. The Three Mile Island Unit 2 (TMI-2) reactor, near Middletown, Pa., partially melted down on March 28, 1979. This was the most serious accident in U.S. commercial nuclear power plant operating history, although its small radioactive releases had no detectable health effects on plant workers or the public. Its aftermath brought about sweeping changes involving emergency response planning, reactor operator training, human factors engineering, radiation protection, and many other areas of nuclear power plant operations. It also caused the NRC (Nuclear Regulatory Commission) to tighten and

Buried treasure, eye patches, and walking the plank are all words and phrases that often appear in stories involving pirates. Tales about the voyages of pirates are often adventurous and riveting ones. It is very awe-inspiring to think about the daring lives those pirates once led. However, it might not be safe to assume that these stories are close to the truth or even based on genuine facts. In 1881 Robert Louis Stevenson wrote a book entitled Treasure Island, which in return would forever change the way people looked at the term "pirate." Due to this book there are several different movies that have been created to interpret the term pirate in different ways. Black Pirate, The Dancing Pirate, Sea Hawk, and Captain Blood include some

John's life seemed to be one major drama after another; he didn't have a good male role model as a kid, and it seems he never was able to get on track. What was amazing about his life was the number of problems that he seemed to get into and how he wriggled out of them (with the help of a friendly person who just happened to meet him) only to run into more problems.

In 1587, one hundred ten people, including seventeen women and nine children, sailed from Plymouth, England, during the reign of Queen Elizabeth I to start a new life on the Outer Banks. This colony of over one hundred people disappeared from the Roanoke Island region, never to be seen again (Kramer 2). For over 400 years, historians and archeologists have attempted to determine what happened. Although there are several popular theories regarding the disappearance of the Lost Colony, the theory with the most evidence for being accurate is the migration theory.

The major development seen in John’s character takes place near the end of the story, as he seeks a more pure life in a remote location. John feels as though he’s been poisoned by this new civilization “I ate civilization. It poisoned me; I was defiled. And then, I ate my own wickedness.” (241). He wants to not only live a noble life, but to make this life on his own, so chooses an abandoned lighthouse, far enough away from the disaster of a community he views Brave New World as a negative place with negative ideas. This is a major change from the identity he showed before being poisoned by this civilization, but once again he stays true to his values by leading this new life on his own. John’s strong moral values prove to be the one constant in his character.

Toward the end of 1948, the Harpenau’s realized that the new technology was advancing past their old mining practices; the crew began to remove the equipment and track from the Christmas Mine. The once believed, “safe mine,” now shows signs of just the opposite. One story that proves the mine unsafe was that a wooden pole propped gently against the ceiling one day wouldn’t budge just days later. On the calm morning of December 16, 1948, the 12 employees of the Christmas Coal mine, continued to remove the expensive metal track along with the last layer of coal. Jacob Harpenau, in charge of the Christmas Mine, had a reputation that is one to look up to. He was known to never send anyone to do a job that he wouldn’t do. He held true to his reputation

What I really liked about him was his ability of adaptation to new and scary situation that he faced, and his capacity of deciding what was the best risk to take despite being in full stress and fear. His good manners to the others has also been a way of saving his life because he fell into the good will of Long John Silver, who protected him when the other pirates wanted to kill him. - Long John Silver: This character is like a chameleon and this is what i like about him, his astuteness to play with the others around him and make him go along with his stories, which most of the time where nothing but lies. When things start to get darker for him he manages set himself on a double side game where he starts to work on his salvation from hanging by being good to Jim and his fellows but also keeps the pirates straight in case he finds the treasure.

He has only one leg and usually has his parrot, Captain Flint, who always says “ Pieces of Eight, Pieces of Eight.” Silver shows paternal liking and kindness for Jim. Other times Silver shows cruelness and extreme brutality in executing other sailors.

Treasure Island is about more than an isle of riches, but the sense of adventure is almost palpable. Imagine being young and just trying to figure out the puzzle of life. Having someone to model off of or look up to is important, and that is a key point to this story. Following through with any commitment is primary. Having an obligation to complete the duty that is delegated. Drugs and alcohol are a huge factor in this story. The men with this addiction have a negative effect on a young boy such as Jim. Being young is a vulnerable part of life they are malleable. How they are shaped is important.

In the classic novel Treasure Island, Scotland's Robert Louis Stevenson leads us through a harrowing tale. This once creative fantasy has now been overplayed in today's literature and movie scenes. It seems that their are countless movies and books on treasure hunting and pirates now a days.During the author's era from 1850 to 1894 these types of pursuits were common in real life. People would actually go treasure hunting and have conflicts with pirates. In 1882 when this book was originally published, many of the accounts of these types of adventures were first hand. I was hoping for more items of historical significance to be weaved into the story, but it seems to be more like the stories I see all the time from Hollywood.
