Treasure Island recap In the most recent part of the story, we found out that the pirates were working for Long John Silver and searching for the treasure on the island. Jim sneaks onto the island with the pirates, but then runs away from them. He sees Silver kill some of the sailors who don’t go along with his plan and realises he is in big trouble. As he wanders the island, Jim meets a man named Ben Gunn who has been marooned there for three years. It turns out that Ben Gunn knows Long John Silver and sailed with him, Captain Flint and his crew when they buried the treasure on the island originally. At the same time, the Doctor, Squire and Captain try to escape the ship and set up a base at a stockade on the island. As they are doing so, some of the pirates on the ship spot them and fire the cannon at them, while pirates on the beach run after them. You can watch the video recap here: https://www.bbc.co.uk/teach/class-clips-video/english-ks2-treasure-island-pt5/z77tcqt Tuesday - Treasure Island… In Chapter 14 & 15, the ‘good’ crew get to the stockade and have a pistol fight with the pirates. One of the pirates and one of the good crew get shot and killed. Jim runs to the stockade and joins them, but Ben Gunn runs away. Long John Silver approaches the stockade to make a truce with Jim and his friends, offering to take them back safely on the boat in exchange for the treasure map. Captain Smollett and the rest refuse to deal with Silver and he leaves, saying his pirates will kill them all within an hour. In Chapter 16, the pirates attack the stockade. Jim and his friends manage to fight them off, killing five pirates while they lost just two of their crew. Unfortunately though, two others are injured, including the Captain. On the school website (in the Year 3 home learning section) you will see a new video of me reading this exciting chapter from the story. https://www.bbc.co.uk/teach/class-clips-video/english-ks2-treasure-island-pt6/zv346v4 In Chapter 17 & 18, Jim leaves the stockade and his friends to find a small boat that Ben Gunn told him about. He uses it to sail out to the main ship (The Hispaniola) and cuts the anchor free, hoping the ship will end up on the beach. He then climbs aboard the ship to see what he can do. Tuesday - Inference Read this extract from Chapter 19 and then have a go at the tasks. Key Vocabulary: despair: without hope dastardly: cruel to and fro: backwards and forwards stock still: completely still, not moving I crawled onto the deck and I froze as my eyes took in a sight of disaster and despair. Mud was caked everywhere and a broken bottle rolled about, to and fro. Two men lay in a heap on the deck. One, the dastardly Israel Hands, moved slightly giving me goose bumps all over. Sweat dripped down my face as I looked over to the other man, who was stock still on his back and clearly dead. I trembled as I approached them, when Israel suddenly began moaning and I saw with wide eyes that he was wounded, sick and bleeding. Task 1: What are Jim’s thoughts and feelings as he sees what has happened on the ship? Thoughts Feelings Task 2: Find and copy any words and phrases that tell you Jim is feeling scared / fearful. Go Deeper: Imagine you are the author of Treasure Island. How else could you write that Jim might behave to show he is scared / fearful. Think about what he might do, or what his body language might be like if he was afraid. Wednesday - Inference Read the extract from the end of Chapter 19 then answer the questions. “You’ll call me Captain from now on,” I told Israel Hands as I took charge of the ship, “and I’ll drop that flag as well.” He looked at me sourly, but said nothing as I scampered up and cut down the Jolly Roger. As we were the only two aboard and it needed us both to control the ship, I warily struck a deal with Hands to sail the ship back to shore, but as we got on our way I saw his wounded look turn to a crafty sneer and he began to watch me closely. A little later we stopped for something to eat and Hands asked me to get his glass from belowdecks. It was clear to me that he was up to something however I thought I could outsmart him, so tentatively agreed. I ran belowdecks, then quickly sneaked round to a place where I could see what Hands was doing without him seeing me. I was right. I spied him crawling across the deck and pulling out a knife from behind the mast. Then he wiped off the blood and tucked it into his sleeve. I knew he needed me to steer the ship ashore, but once we were back near the island he would come for me. Paragraph 1 1. Why does Jim tell Israel Hands to call him Captain? 2. Hands looks at Jim but says nothing. Which word tells you how Hands is feeling about it? What does it mean? 3. Does Jim climb up slowly or quickly to cut down the Jolly Roger? How do you know? Paragraph 2 4. Does Jim trust Hands? Which word tells you? 5. What does Hands do as they begin to sail the ship? Paragraph 3 6. Why does Jim agree to go below decks? 7. Find and copy the word that means ‘cautiously’. Paragraph 4 8. How might Jim be feeling after he sees Hands gets the knife? Thursday - summarising Summarising is when we give a short statement of the key ideas of something. We can summarise a text by answering three key questions: Who: Who is doing the main action? (usually 1 or 2 characters) What: What is the main thing that happens? Where: Where does the action happen? Task 1: For each extract, summarise the three key points. Be specific e.g. Where - don’t just say ‘the ship’, if you can say which part of the ship 1. As we neared the shore, I was so caught up in the work I was doing that it wasn’t until the last moment that I sensed Hands behind me. I wheeled about and saw him lunge at me. I dodged and ran away, grabbing one of the guns from my belt. I pulled the trigger but it didn’t work. The seawater had made it useless. 2. Suddenly the ship struck the beach and we were both jolted up into the air. I scrambled to the top of the mast and made my guns ready as Hands climbed up towards me, sneering and gripping a knife between his teeth. Hands got to the top of the rigging and started towards me. 3. “One more step and I’ll blow your brains out,” I shouted. He stopped. I could see his mind working and he took the dagger from his mouth to speak. “I would’ve had you if not for that bump,” he growled “but I don’t get no luck!” He reached his knife and let loose right at me, pinning my shoulder to the mast. I 4. cried out in pain and, firing both pistols in shock, dropped them into the ocean.

Loechle ALL RIGHTS RESERVED iii Acknowledgments I am indebted to many people for the help and encouragement they have given me during the long duration of this project. From academic and financial to editorial and emotional, I was never lacking in support. I am truly thankful, not to mention lucky. Sarah Burns, my advisor and mentor, supported my ideas, cheered my successes, and patiently edited and helped me to revise my failures. I also owe her thanks for encouraging me to pursue an unorthodox topic. From the moment pirates came up during one of our meetings in the spring of 2005, I was hooked. She knew it, and she continuously suggested ways to expand the idea first into an independent study, and then into this dissertation. My dissertation committee – Janet Kennedy, Patrick McNaughton, and Beverly Stoeltje – likewise deserves my thanks for their mentoring and enthusiasm. Other scholars have graciously shared with me their knowledge and input along the way. David M. Lubin read a version of my third chapter and gave me helpful advice, opening up to me new ways of thinking about Howard Pyle in particular.

Lighthouse design was his father's and his family's profession, so at age seventeen, he enrolled at Edinburgh University to study engineering, with the goal of following in the family business. Lighthouse design never appealed to Stevenson, though, and he began studying law instead. His spirit of adventure truly began to appear at this stage, and during his summer vacations he traveled to France to be around young writers and painters.

  • Archaeology of Piracy Between Caribbean Sea and the North American Coast of 17Th and 18Th Centuries: Shipwrecks, Material Culture and Terrestrial Perspectives
    Journal of Caribbean Archaeology Copyright 2019 ISBN 1524-4776 ARCHAEOLOGY OF PIRACY BETWEEN CARIBBEAN SEA AND THE NORTH AMERICAN COAST OF 17TH AND 18TH CENTURIES: SHIPWRECKS, MATERIAL CULTURE AND TERRESTRIAL PERSPECTIVES Jean Soulat Laboratoire LandArc – Centre Michel de Boüard, Craham UMR 6273 Groupe de Recherche en Archéométrie, Université Laval, Québec 29, rue de Courbuisson 77920 Samois-sur-Seine – France [email protected] John de Bry Center for Historical Archaeology 140 Warsteiner Way, Suite 204 Melbourne Beach, Florida 32951 – USA [email protected] The archaeology of piracy in the 17th and 18th centuries remains a poorly developed discipline in the world. American universities in connection with local authorities were the first to fund and support such research programs on the east coast of the United States and the Caribbean. The study of the shipwreck of the pirate Edward Teach (Blackbeard), the Queen Anne's Revenge 1718, is a very good example of this success. However, a work of crossing archaeological data deserves to be carried out for all the sites brought to light, in particular in the Caribbean area, on the North American coast, without forgetting the Indian Ocean. The synthetic work of Charles R. Ewen and Russell K. Skowronek published in 2006 and 2016 by the University of Florida is an important first step. They treat shipwrecks as well as land occupations, and go back for a long time on the percceived ideas related to the true image of Pirates. However, there is a lack of material culture studies from these sites probably related to the lack of scientific publications of these objects.

  • From Braemar to Hollywood: the American Appropriation of Robert Louis Stevenson’S Pirates
    humanities Article From Braemar to Hollywood: The American Appropriation of Robert Louis Stevenson’s Pirates Richard J. Hill 1,* and Laura Eidam 2,* 1 English Department, Chaminade University, Honolulu, HI 96816, USA 2 Rare Book School, University of Virginia, Charlottesville, VA 22904, USA * Correspondence: [email protected] (R.J.H.); [email protected] (L.E.) Received: 30 October 2019; Accepted: 24 December 2019; Published: 11 January 2020 Abstract: The pirate tropes that pervade popular culture today can be traced in large part to Robert Louis Stevenson’s 1883 novel, Treasure Island. However, it is the novel’s afterlife on film that has generated fictional pirates as we now understand them. By tracing the transformation of the author’s pirate captain, Long John Silver, from N. C. Wyeth’s illustrations (1911) through the cinematic performances of Wallace Beery (1934) and Robert Newton (1950), this paper demonstrates that the films have created a quintessentially “American pirate”—a figure that has necessarily evolved in response to differences in medium, the performances of the leading actors, and filmgoers’ expectations. Comparing depictions of Silver’s dress, physique, and speech patterns, his role vis-à-vis Jim Hawkins, each adaptation’s narrative point of view, and Silver’s departure at the end of the films reveals that while the Silver of the silver screen may appear to represent a significant departure from the text, he embodies a nuanced reworking of and testament to the author’s original. Keywords: Robert Louis Stevenson; Treasure Island; pirate; film; illustration 1. Introduction Piracy has shaped modern America. Four hundred years ago, in late August 1619, the privateer ship White Lion sold several captive Africans from Angola into servitude to the fledgling English colony of Virginia (National Park Service 2019).

  • TREASURE ISLAND Reimagined! Based on the Book by Robert Louis Stevenson SYNOPSIS
    TREASURE ISLAND Reimagined! Based on the book by Robert Louis Stevenson SYNOPSIS Act I (50 minutes) Ahoy, Mateys! Join Jim Hawkins, Ben Gunn, Long John Silver, and the whole crew as they tell the classic story Treasure Island in an original and exciting version debuting at Dallas Children’s Theater! The play begins with Jim and Ben simultaneously telling their stories. Although their stories begin ten years apart, they were both deceived as young boys by the same scurvy pirate, Long John Silver. Year: 1871 Ben Gunn needs work after being abandoned by his father. He hears about a potential job working on Captain Flint’s pirate ship. Ben is dismayed when turned down by Flint, but soon meets Long John Silver who brings Ben on board Flint’s boat as the cabin boy. Year: 1881 Jim Hawkins and his friends are playing pirates when they are approached by an actual pirate, Billy Bones! Billy, protecting a chest he’s brought with him, tells the kids about Captain Flint’s lost treasure, the fifteen pirates who died burying it, and the pirate they need to beware of: the man with one-leg. When Jim’s mother approaches them, Billy asks for a room in the Hawkins’ inn. As she prepares his room, Billy warns Jim to look out for the one-legged man. That night, Jim has nightmares about a giant one-legged man. Year: 1871 Ben Gunn and Long John Silver sit together on the ship, looking at the stars. Long John tells Ben about the importance of constellations and the story of how proud Orion defeated every dangerous creature the gods sent his way until the gods sent a scorpion that killed Orion.
