Robert Louis Balfour Stevenson was a Scottish novelist, poet, eayist, and travel writer.His most famous works are Treasure Island, Kidnapped, and Strange Case of Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde.A literary celebrity during his lifetime, Stevenson now ranks among the 26 most translated authors in the world.His works have been admired by many other writers who said of him that he \"seemed to pick the right word up on the point of his pen, like a man playing spillikins.\" Treasure Island is his first widely popular book.This is an exciting adventure story about a poor boy that lives in a small inn, the Admiral Benbow, run by his parents in Black Hill Cove.The boy’s name is Jim Hawkins.One day, unexpectedly, he finds a treasure map which indicates the treasure hidden by the pirates in Skeleton Island.Then Jim, Dr.Livesey, Captain Smollett and his friends, with a group of sailors, set out for the treasure.After a short time, some greed sailors who are led by Long John Silver rebel for the map.These two groups fight fiercely.Evil can never prevail against good.Jim and Captain Smollett win the battle.And later then they go back home with the boat filled with treasure.At the end of the story, Silver runs away with one of the bags of coins, perhaps three or four hundred coins.Captain Smollett no longer goes to sea.Jim’s friend Gray saves his money and become a half captain of a ship.Ben Gunn who is marooned by pirates gets a thousand pounds.However, he spends all his money in three weeks.Then he has to beg.Luckily, he is given a job as a gatekeeper when he comes back.
After reading this book, I admire the little dramatis personae very much.And it makes me feeling more.Jim Hawkins is a timid and shy boy at first.At the beginning of the voyage, Jim is only a waiter in the cabin.But he is able to fight with enemies, and recapture the ship from the enemies at last.His courage and kind-heart are admirable.I have learned many things from him, like brave, resource, accommodating and so on.If we also have the spirit that Jim has, many difficult questions must have been already solved.What I can only find from the pirates are cruelty and selfishne.But Silver is even more cruel hearted.He kills people without mercy and his hands are full of blood.His eyes are green.He reminds me of the selfish one who only focuses on himself and can be immorality and even crimes when trying to protect his own interest.Money sometimes can be the power when we are working.And sometimes can be the most evil thing in the world.As long as we make a balance between money and desire, money can be the most beautiful thing in the world.As a saying goes, “No pain, No gain”.If we try our best to do things like Jim, I think we will make more progre in many fields.
