I.Introduction Robert Louis Stevenson was a British novelist, poet, travel writer and eayist.He was born in Edinburgh Scotland in 1850.Since he was young he broken in health.When he grow old he had planned to inherit his father’s career as an engineer.But because of his illne, he changed his major into law.However, his interest was in the literature actually.In 1878 and 1879, he published two works about the journey one after another.And since then he never stopped his writing.In 1879, he went to United States and married Fanny Osborne who was ten years older than him.Stevenson still had the serious lung disease and this condition forced him to take his wife and his adapted son, Lloyd settling in California.The mild climate there was beneficial to his health undoubtedly.In 1880, he returned to Scotland.He began to design the story, Treasure Island for his son and later it was published in 1883.What’s more, this book was regarded as the best works of children’s adventure story.And Stevenson has also become a famous writer.Due to the health problem, he and his family had to move to the Pacific island.In 1894, Stevenson died suddenly.In the 19th century, England was famous for her seafaring and was remarked as the sea overlord.At that time, many people dreamed about finding treasure at sea.Stevenson has been greatly admired by many authors, including Ernest Hemingway, Rudyard Kipling, Vladimir Nabokov and J.M.Barrie.His best-known books include 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.The book, Treasure Island was translated into many languages and has been adapted for film, television for many times.It has very far-reaching impact.II.The Story of the Book Jim Hawkins was a ten year old boy.He lived in the inn named Admiral Benbow with his parents.One day, an old pirate, Flint came to the tavern.And the whole story began.Flint was the leader of the pirates.He leaded them gathering manytreasures and they put the treasure on the Treasure Island.But only Flint knew the place exactly.And he recorded everything in his map.This map was locked in his chest and nobody had seen it.Flint’s followers were thirsty for the map that recorded the treasures’ place.So they kept finding Flint all the time and did everything poible to get the map.Eventually Jim got the map with the price that his family was broken.For getting the help from others, Jim gave DrLivesey, who was the magistrate of the town, the map.And there was another person who knew the accident.He was the squire Trelawney.Trelawney and DrLivesey decided to go to sea and find the treasure.After about one month, the squire employed one captain Smollett, one cook, Silver and many sailors.So they began their voyage soon.At the beginning, everything went very well except for the captain Smollett’s diatisfaction.The captain thought that the squire didn’t arrange the job distribution well and the members on the board was not well known each other.The behavior that the captain did not mince matters caused the others’ abominate for him, especially the squire.But in the end, the squire listened the advice of the captain.The cook, Silver, was kind to everyone and full of energy.Although he was a cripple, he could move as a normal person even better than a normal person.He had been the cook on the Flint’s boat.And he was very popular in the Hispaniola.But in fact, Silver was very cunning.One night, Jim jumped into the barrel to eating apples.By chance, he heard that Silver wanted to persuade the other sailors to join his plan, betraying the others.Later, Jim Hawkins succeeded in fleeing the barrel and told what he heard to the DrLivesey and the squire.This finding made them have the mental preparation for what would happen in the next.When the Hispaniolaarrived at the Treasure Island, Jim tailed with other pirate land the island without the Silver’s permiion.On the island he saw the conflict between Silver and the honest pirate and the maacre.Because of the horror, he was afraid to come back to the Hispaniola, so he kept going forward.And to his surprise he met a person who lived in the Treasure Island for three years alone.The man called Ben Guna.After going through sufferings, Jim brought Ben back to his group.Later, Jim steered the coracle lonely, leaving the wounded captain and the other members.Luckily, he succeeded in finding the Hispaniola and steered her into the sand beach where was safe.And then Jim came back to the block-house, where they hided themselves.But beyond his expectation, the block-house had been occupied by Silver.Then Jim was captured by them.The other pirates wanted to kill Jim except Silver.At last, Silver succeeded convince others to keep Jim alive.What’s more,Silverand Jim reached an agreement that Silver saved Jim’s life and Jim should give him a way to live if they came back to the Hispaniolasafely.Afterwards, they were lucky enough to escape the dangerous condition.But a leopard cannot change his spots.On the way they came back to home, Silver escaped with lots of treasure.But the other people all thought it’s better for him and themselves.III.My Views on the Book Treasure Island’s succe relies not only on the plot but also the depiction of the characters.For example, in the very beginning the description to the captain, “his tarry pigtail falling over the shoulders of his soiled blue coat, his hands ragged and scarred, with black, broken nails;and the sabre cut acro one cheek, a dirty, livid white.” This can easily lead people thinking of a murderous pirate.Secondly, although this novel’s name was Treasure Island, what it wanted to pa on was not the gold and silver.What it really wanted to transmit was the love of the humanity and justice.Among the group of combative pirates, Jim was on the contrary.He was friendly to people and he could distinguish the good from the bad.His witty and brave was inspired in the conflict of the seizing treasures.Finally, they won the game.The opposite of Jim was Silver.He was also a distinctive character.And we can also say that he was a man with courage and plans.However, the way he chose was a way full of sins, so eventually he was cast aside by people.Thirdly, we can feel the seduce of the money through reading this novel.The direne for money can change the attachment between people.It can cause the dog-eat-dog.But in reality, the money is innocent.What makes the money terrible is the human’s desires.In a word, we should treat money rationally.Only in this way can money become the most useful items.
