Created by: Supported by: Reading/Writing/Communicating Connections: Treasure Island Reading/Writing and English Content Standards Activity 1: Read Treasure Island aloud in class then have students find as many words describing the book as they can using letters from the following words: “pirate” and “treasure” and “cheese.” Activity 2: Have students write a letter to their favorite actor in the show. Or have students write a fan letter to Imagination Celebration that expresses how they feel about being able to attend events at the Pikes Peak Center. We have several sponsors that help support the season and we love to share your thoughts with them. Send letters to 1515 North Academy Boulevard, Suite 200, Colorado Springs, CO 80909. Activity 3: While the story comes to a conclusion, it’s easy to imagine many more adventures for Jim, Long John Silver and even the doctor. Have students write and illustrate a new adventure for any of the characters from the performance. Reflect, Connect, Respond 21st Century Learning questions provided by the framework of the Colorado Department of Education (CDE) are meant to deepen this theater experience. The questions below are modified from the CDE examples. Touch Points for Kindergarten In many books about pirates, they have parrots as pets. If you had a parrot as a friend who could talk, what do you think it would say? What words do you think your friend might use to talk to you and what do you think might be important to hear about from your friend? We call pet friends by names—what letters are in your pet’s name? Are those letters in other places in the room? Touch Points for 1st Grade There are many new words in the play—why is it important to know what those words mean? Why do you think the playwright (the person who wrote the play) used those words instead of different words? How do you think the playwright began writing the play? What tools did he/she need? When reading the book, what do you imagine the characters look like? Why? How do the characters look on stage? Is it the same as what you imagined? Touch Points for 2nd Grade There are many new words in the play—why is it important to know what those words mean? What can you do to remember the meanings of the new words? Do you learn more by talking or listening? Why? What does the title of the book tell you about the story inside? How do the pictures on the front of the book help tell you about the story inside? What age of reader do you think the author was trying to tell this story to? Why? Touch Points for 3rd Grade The play’s script is written using different writing patterns/styles than the book. This is because the script is written for the actors to read to learn how the playwright wants them to act the story; the book is written in a style that has pictures to help children read and understand the story. Do you talk differently to your friends than your family? How? Why? Cover up the words on a page of the book. Try to describe what you think the picture is telling you. Now read the words on the page as fast as you can. Is the first description you created from the picture the same as the fast description you just read? Finally, read the page carefully. Is it still the same message? What are the differences? What tools do you think the author needed to write this story? What tools do you think the playwright needed to write this play? Touch Points for 4th Grade What tools do you think the author needed to write this story? Why? What tools do you think the playwright needed to write this play? Why? When you first read the book, were the characters what you expected in the play? If the author changed any of the settings in the story, how would it have change the story? Touch Points for 5th Grade Speaking volume and patterns are different when directed to an audience from a cast on stage. How is volume different? How is eye contact different? Why? How do the actors know you are listening to the play? How do you think the author might have written this story for adults? What would be different and why?.

  • TRAVEL and ADVENTURE in the WORKS of ROBERT LOUIS STEVENSON by Mahmoud Mohamed Mahmoud Degree of Doctor of Philosophy Department
    TRAVEL AND ADVENTURE IN THE WORKS OF ROBERT LOUIS STEVENSON by Mahmoud Mohamed Mahmoud Degree of Doctor of Philosophy Department of Scottish Literature University of Glasgow. JULY 1984 ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS I wish to express my deepest sense of indebtedness and gratitude to my supervisor, Alexander Scott, Esq., whose wholehearted support, invaluable advice and encouragement, penetrating observations and constructive criticism throughout the research have made this work possible; and whose influence on my thinking has been so deep that the effects, certainly, will remain as long as I live. I wish also to record my thanks to my dear wife, Naha, for her encouragement and for sharing with me a considerable interest in Stevenson's works. Finally, my thanks go to both Dr. Ferdous Abdel Hameed and Dr. Mohamed A. Imam, Department of English Literature and Language, Faculty of Education, Assuit University, Egypt, for their encouragement. SUMMARY In this study I examine R.L. Stevenson as a writer of essays, poems, and books of travel as well as a writer of adventure fiction; taking the word "adventure" to include both outdoor and indoor adventure. Choosing to be remembered in his epitaph as the sailor and the hunter, Stevenson is regarded as the most interesting literary wanderer in Scottish literature and among the most intriguing in English literature. Dogged by ill- health, he travelled from "one of the vilest climates under heaven" to more congenial climates in England, the Continent, the States, and finally the South Seas where he died and was buried. Besides, Stevenson liked to escape, especially in his youth, from the respectabilities of Victorian Edinburgh and from family trouble, seeking people and places whose nature was congenial to his own Bohemian nature.

Grey the cloudland drifted o'er us, When these ears first heard you talking, When these eyes first saw you smiling. Years of famine, years of plenty, Years of beckoning and beguiling. Years of yielding, shifting, baulking, ' When the good ship Clansman ' bore us Round the spits of Tobermory, Glens of Voulin like a vision. Crags of Knoidart, huge and hoary, We had laughed in light derision. Had they told us, told the daring Tusitala, What the years' pale hands were bearing, Years in stately dim division. II Now the skies are pure above you, Tusitala; Feather'd trees bow down to love you 1 This poem, addressed to Robert Louis Stevenson, reached him at Vailima three days before his death. It was the last piece of verse read by Stevenson, and it is the subject of the last letter he wrote on the last day of his life. The poem was read by Mr. Lloyd Osbourne at the funeral. It is here printed, by kind permission of the author, from Mr. Edmund Gosse's ' In Russet and Silver,' 1894, of which it was the dedication. After the Photo by] [./.

  • Memories and Portraits by Robert Louis Stevenson
    Memories and Portraits By Robert Louis Stevenson 1 TO MY MOTHER IN THE NAME OF PAST JOY AND PRESENT SORROW I DEDICATE THESE MEMORIES AND PORTRAITS S.S. “Ludgate Hill” within sight of Cape Race 2 NOTE This volume of papers, unconnected as they are, it will be better to read through from the beginning, rather than dip into at random. A certain thread of meaning binds them. Memories of childhood and youth, portraits of those who have gone before us in the battle—taken together, they build up a face that “I have loved long since and lost awhile,” the face of what was once myself. This has come by accident; I had no design at first to be autobiographical; I was but led away by the charm of beloved memories and by regret for the irrevocable dead; and when my own young face (which is a face of the dead also) began to appear in the well as by a kind of magic, I was the first to be surprised at the occurrence. My grandfather the pious child, my father the idle eager sentimental youth, I have thus unconsciously exposed. Of their descendant, the person of to-day, I wish to keep the secret: not because I love him better, but because, with him, I am still in a business partnership, and cannot divide interests. Of the papers which make up the volume, some have appeared already in The Cornhill, Longman’s, Scribner, The English Illustrated, The Magazine of Art, The Contemporary Review; three are here in print for the first time; and two others have enjoyed only what may he regarded as a private circulation.

  • The Stevenson Circle
    The Stevenson Circle Archer, William (1856-1924), journalist and critic. He was dramatic critic for Figaro, and later for the World and the Star. An admirer of Ibsen's work, he was instrumental in introduc- ing Ibsen's plays to the British public. Archer and RLS fre- quently corresponded, and Archer wrote a perceptive obituary, 'In Memoriam R.L.S.' (New Review, January 1895). Balfour, Dr Lewis (1777-1860), grandfather of RLS. RLS took his middle name of Lewis (later Louis) from his grandfather. As a boy RLS delighted in visiting Colin ton Manse, the home of his grandfather from 1823 to 1860. In his essay 'The Manse', included in MP, he gives an affectionate tribute to his recol- lections of the house and of his grandfather. Balfour, Sir Thomas Graham (1858-1929). One of RLS's many cousins, Balfour made his home at Vailima during the last two and a half years of RLS's life. His biography, published in 1901, is an extremely readable, competent and well-researched account. It suffers, however, from having been prepared so soon after Stevenson's death and is insufficiently detached from the protective influence of his widow. It remains an in- dispensable account of RLS and his circle, though inevitably some of Balfour's judgements have been superseded by later scholarship. Barrie, Sir James Matthew (1860-1937), novelist and playright. His first novel The Little Minister (1891), was much admired by RLS. Barrie was also the author of A Window in Thrums, Margaret Ogilvy, and Sentimental Tommy. His plays include The Admirable Crichton, Peter Pan and What Every Woman Knows.

  • Robert Louis Stevenson
    Published on Great Writers Inspire (http://writersinspire.org) Home > Robert Louis Stevenson Robert Louis Stevenson Robert Louis Balfour Stevenson (1850-1894) was born in Edinburgh on the 13 November 1850. His father and grandfather were both successful engineers who built many of the lighthouses that dotted the Scottish coast, whilst his mother came from a family of lawyers and church ministers. A sickly boy whose mother was also often unwell, Stevenson spent much of his childhood with the family nurse, Alison Cunningham. She told him many ghost stories and supernatural tales which seem to resonate throughout Stevenson's later fiction, reappearing in several of his short-stories, such as 'The Body Snatchers', 'The Merry Men' [1], and 'Thrawn Janet'. In 1867, Stevenson enrolled at Edinburgh University to study engineering. The choice of subject was influenced by Stevenson's father, who wished his son to continue the prestigious family tradition. Stevenson however had other ambitions, and even at this early stage, expressed a desire to write. He shortly changed courses and began to study law, but soon gave this up to concentrate on writing professionally, much to the displeasure of his father. [2] By alberto (Ana Quiroga) [Public domain], via Wikimedia Commons Stevenson married Fanny Osborne in May 1880. The newly-married couple set off on honeymoon together, accompanied by Fanny's son, Lloyd Osborne, from her previous marriage. The three started their trip in San Francisco, traveling through the Napa Valley to eventually arrive at an abandoned gold mine on Mount St Helena. Stevenson would later write about this experience in his travel memoir The Silverado Squatters (1883).

  • A Comparative Study of the Main Characters' Successful Grips of Their
    Appendix I The Biography Robert Louis (originally Lewis) Balfour Stevenson was born in Edinburgh on 13 November 1850. His father was a lighthouse engineer with a comfortable income. Louis was a delicate child, was frequently ill and had to stay indoors. At the age of seventeen, Stevenson entered the University of Edinburgh to become a lighthouse engineer like his father. Stevenson was never interested in this, did not finish the course, took up the study of law, and did manage somehow to take up the degree of law. Stevenson's health never strong at any time became especially bad around 1837. His doctor then ordered him to go to milder climate in Europe. During his travels in Europe, he wrote some essays, mainly about literary topics in various periodicals. Stevenson was spending his time in France when he met a married woman, Fanny Osborne who was ten years his senior and spent much time with her. Two years later, Fanny returned to America and apparently, she was not very happy there. Knowing this, Stevenson decided to join Fanny to California. Then in 1880, they married soon after Fanny divorced. In 1881, in order to amuse his stepson, Stevenson commenced Treasure Island and it became one of the best books of Stevenson. The following years, in 1884, Stevenson wrote which soon became an immediate success when it was published in 1886. Also in the same year, due to Stevenson's fascination in Scottish history, he decided to write an adventure book with Scottish history's element, titled Kidnapped. It also was proved to be his great success.
