Adventure and Friendship

As a young child, you begin to ask that question to yourself. That question is, “Do you think there is buried treasure out there waiting to be found?” I have asked myself that question many times a young boy. I never found out the answer, but I had belief that there was actually treasure out there waiting to be found. As I began to grow up, I had begun to read many novels that reveal treasure, such as “Treasure Island,” written by Robert Louis Stevenson. There were many adventurous moments throughout the novel as well as the relationship towards every being, such as pirates.
The novel “Treasure Island,” written by Robert Louis Stevenson, explores about a young boy named Jim who sets out to find buried treasure. Jim lives at his parent’s inn, the Admiral Benbow. Jim is a very calm young boy who is very loyal to his parents, causes no harm. Things begin to change when an old sea captain, Billy Bones, stations himself at the Admiral Benbow Inn. At first, Jim and his mother are surprised and a little scared, but then begin to settle down. Billy Bones is accompanied by a blind man in whom he is given a black spot, quoting “You have until 10pm.” This meant, at 10pm, Billy Bones will be killed. After the moment the black spot occurred, Billy Bones stands up and out of nowhere and drops to the ground and dies. Jim is stirred into action by this mysterious black spot. Jim then opens the chest that Billy had brought to the Inn and finds something very valuable that leads him on an adventure.
The clock strikes 10pm. Jim hurries out of the Inn with his mother before Billy’s pursuers destroy the Inn looking for what Jim had found. As you can realize, Jim had found a logbook containing a map inside which leads to a distant island where treasure is buried. Jim gathers up a bunch of captains and pirates to go and find this treasure. The moment he gathers up captains and pirates to look for the treasure, you begin to think “What if something goes wrong?” “What if everyone doesn’t get along with each other?” That is the risk you have to take when it comes to going on an adventure to look for something very valuable. Most people are in it for themselves, but after a while traveling, Jim begins to gain the trust and friendship of others, such as Long
John Silver. Friendship is where you gain the trust of another human being who is there to hang out with you, help you out at any time and be by your side when something goes wrong. This is the type of friendship Jim and Long John Silver have.
