FRANK BAUM, AUTHOR OF THE WIZARD OF OZ Performance ‘‘ NMCCSS SYNOPSIS ELA-Literacy.SL.2 Treasure Island is one of the most famous adventure stories in English literature and is noted for its atmosphere, characters, and action. It is one of the most frequently dramatized of all novels. Its influence is enormous on popular perceptions of pirates, New Mexico including treasure maps marked with an “X,” schooners, the Black Spot, tropical Content islands, and one-legged seamen bearing parrots on their shoulders. Standards: Fine Arts/Theatre: Content Treasure Island is a quest story. Jim Hawkins, the hero, goes on a journey to a Standards 3 & 5 strange and dangerous place in pursuit of something valuable. On the surface, it is the treasure buried on the island, but it is also the process of coming-of-age and determining one’s own moral compass. Other themes in the story include the search for a heroic role model, escapism (from poverty, one’s limitations, geography), and greed. The story, set in the mid-eighteenth century, is mainly narrated by a young boy named Jim Hawkins. An old sailor comes to stay at the seaside inn owned by Jim’s parents. When the sailor dies, Jim searches his belongings and finds a map revealing the location of an island with treasure buried on it. Jim’s friend, Mr. Trelawney, buys a ship to search for the treasure. During the voyage, Jim discovers that there are many pirates among the crew, and that they are led by Long John Silver. When the ship reaches the island, a battle begins between the pirates and Mr. Trelawney’s men. Jim befriends an old pirate who lives alone on the island and has already found the treasure. After many adventures, Jim and his friends defeat the pirates and sail back to England with the treasure. 2 Treasure Island TEACHING GUIDE DREAMCATCHERS the intention of attacking other vessels in Pirates usually did not live long, full lives, Vocabulary order to steal gold or cause trouble and tended to spend all of their riches quickly. buccaneer - a piratical adventurer of the privateer - an armed vessel sailing under sea; a person who plunders at the sea, or the commission of a sovereign power There’s no historical proof that pirates land from the sea against an enemy were ever made to walk the plank.

The following code of conduct was taken from one 18th century pirate ship and offers interesting insight into pirate affairs. 1. Every man shall obey civil command; the Captain shall have one full share and a half in all prizes; the Master, Carpenter, Boatswain, and Gunner shall have one share and quarter. 2. If any man shall offer to run away, or keep any secret from the company, he shall be marroon’d with one bottle of powder, one bottle of water, one small arm and shot. 3. If any man shall steal any thing in the company, or game, to the value of a piece of eight, he shall be marroon’d or shot. 4. If at any time we should meet another mar- rooner (that is pyrate) that man that shall sign his articles without the consent of our company, shall suffer such punishment as the Captain and company shall think fit. 5. That man that shall strike another whilst these articles are in force, shall receive Mose’s Law (that is 40 stripes lacking one) on the bare back. 6. That man that shall snap his arms, or smoke tobacco in the hold, without a cap to his pipe, or carry a candle lighted without a lanthorn, shall suffer the same punishment as in the former article. 7. That man that shall not keep his arms clean, fit for an engagement, or neglect his business, shall be cut off from his share, and suffer such other punishment as the Captain and the com- pany shall think fit. 8. If any man shall lose a joint in time of an en- gagement, he shall have 400 pieces of eight; if a limb 800. 9. If at any time you meet with a prudent woman, that man that offers to meddle with her, without her consent, shall suffer present death. 4 Treasure Island TEACHING GUIDE DREAMCATCHERS Interesting Facts About Treasure Island • Treasure Island was originally a board game for Stevenson’s stepson on a cold and rainy holiday in Scotland during the sum- mer of 1881. They drew, colored, and annotated the map of an imaginary “Treasure Island.” The map stimulated Stevenson’s imagination and he began to write a story based on it as entertainment for the rest of the family. • This was Stevenson’s first volume-length fictional narrative, and the first of his writings “for children.” • Treasure Island was written as a series with every chapter coming out weekly, and each having a title. There are 34 titles in all. • The story was amazing because of the fact that with the opening sentence of the book, Stevenson sets up the point of view, introduces the first person narrator and his subject, establishes the setting, and launches the plot. • Silver’s tavern is named “The Spyglass,” which is also the name of a hill on Treasure Island. • The acknowledgement in the story that sometimes crime does pay, and that luck is as necessary to success as courage and virtue, prompted contemporary reviews of the novel to wonder whether Treasure Island was immoral. An early reviewer pre- dicted that boys would like the book, but didn’t think it would be wholesome reading for them. 5 Treasure Island TEACHING GUIDE DREAMCATCHERS Notes on Author Robert Louis Stevenson He was… • born in Edinburgh, Scotland to a prominent family in 1850. His father was an engineer. • a fragile and sickly child suffering from severe respiratory ailments. • motivated by a love for adventure and his need for a climate that would not impact his health. This encouraged him to travel extensively throughout his life. • involved in sailing, diving, and climbing, despite his physical limitations. • enrolled at Edinburgh University at the age of 17 to study engineering with the goal of going into the family firm.

Long John Silver and the Hispaniola Narrator: Three weeks after Jim Hawkins escapes the pirate gang with Billy Bones’ treasure map, he arrives in Bristol on a hot Sunday morning. What a city. The gateway to the Oceans of the World. Tea, sugar, cotton, coffee, slaves - aye, slaves - fill the streets and the docks. The great masts of a dozen fleets tower over the quays. Sailors, travellers, the rich and the poor throng the busy streets all of them hungry for money or food - or adventure. Jim has a note - he must find a Mr Silver who will show him to the Squire’s ship. Jim finds him all right down on the quayside - and there’s a shock, for as he comes up behind the man, he sees he has only one leg. Could this be the pirate, so feared by Billy Bones? Jim: Mister... Silver... sir? Long John Silver: Silver? Long John Silver you be intending to say, I’m sure, and who may you be? Narrator: Jim stares up. Tall and strong, with a face as big as a ham, intelligent and smiling, Long John Silver winks down at him. Jim relaxes - this man’s no pirate. Jim: Jim Hawkins, sir. Cabin boy to the new ship. Long John Silver: Is that so? Jim: Squire Trelawney’s ship. Sir. Long John Silver: Well, pleased I am to see you my boy. I’m ship’s cook - and now you’re come, we must go aboard. Hop in now.

  • Going on the Account: Examining Golden Age Pirates As a Distinct
    GOING ON THE ACCOUNT: EXAMINING GOLDEN AGE PIRATES AS A DISTINCT CULTURE THROUGH ARTIFACT PATTERNING by Courtney E. Page December, 2014 Director of Thesis: Dr. Charles R. Ewen Major Department: Anthropology Pirates of the Golden Age (1650-1726) have become the stuff of legend. The way they looked and acted has been variously recorded through the centuries, slowly morphing them into the pirates of today’s fiction. Yet, many of the behaviors that create these images do not preserve in the archaeological environment and are just not good indicators of a pirate. Piracy is an illegal act and as a physical activity, does not survive directly in the archaeological record, making it difficult to study pirates as a distinct maritime culture. This thesis examines the use of artifact patterning to illuminate behavioral differences between pirates and other sailors. A framework for a model reflecting the patterns of artifacts found on pirate shipwrecks is presented. Artifacts from two early eighteenth century British pirate wrecks, Queen Anne’s Revenge (1718) and Whydah (1717) were categorized into five groups reflecting behavior onboard the ship, and frequencies for each group within each assemblage were obtained. The same was done for a British Naval vessel, HMS Invincible (1758), and a merchant vessel, the slaver Henrietta Marie (1699) for comparative purposes. There are not enough data at this time to predict a “pirate pattern” for identifying pirates archaeologically, and many uncontrollable factors negatively impact the data that are available, making a study of artifact frequencies difficult. This research does, however, help to reveal avenues of further study for describing this intriguing sub-culture.

He was lying very much as we had left him, only a little higher, and he seemed both weak and excited. “Jim,” he said, “you’re the only one here that’s worth anything, and you know I’ve been al- ways good to you. Never a month but I’ve given you a silver fourpenny for yourself. And now you see, mate, I’m pretty low, and deserted by all; and Jim, you’ll bring me one noggin of rum, now, won’t you, matey?” “The doctor—” I began. But he broke in cursing the doctor, in a feeble voice but heartily. “Doctors is all swabs,” he said; “and that doctor there, why, what do he know about seafaring men? I been in places hot as pitch, and mates dropping round with Yellow Jack, and the blessed land a-heaving like the sea with earthquakes—what to the doctor know of lands like that?—and I lived on rum, I tell you.
