Welcome Post

Shiver-me-timbers and welcome to my captain’s log. Join me crew matey, and help me plunder the depths the bookTreasure Island, written by Robert Louis Stevenson. I am on a hunt to find out if Treasure Island is, was, and will be literary loot (in landlubber’s terms a classic novel.) From now until December look into your spyglass for my four posts navigating themes and experiences in the book, which I will relate to my own personal experiences and opinions. Then, I will compose an apologia of why this book is to be considered a treasure, or if it should walk the plank. You can find a bounty of useful links in a column on the starboard side. So grab your peg legs, parrots and swords because we are about to dive into a swashbuckling adventure of piracy, treasure where “X” marks the spot, and men stranded on deserted islands. Come aboard me hearty and lets set sail for Treasure Island.

  1. This is great. I love how you have played with the language - appropriate for the theme and time period of the book.

    You have included a wide variety of sources in your links list.

    A strong start Connor.

  2. Very well done! Short and too the point. No nonsensical stuff in here may have to shorten some of my posts now! One suggestion: make the picture at the top smaller it makes me scroll down too far, or make it a link in your list?

  3. Nice idea to leave the map for the real treasure hunters. By the way, if you need the help with your writing paper, go to special-essays.com and do not forget to save your money with this coupon code g6oa39rW
