Jim Hawkins is the principal narrator of the story. He gets involved in the adventure because his parents own the Admiral Benbow inn where Billy Bones comes to stay. Jim is a young boy who is forced by events to mature very quickly. After his father's death he begins to make his own way in the world. He is cabin boy on the Hispaniola, and through his initiative, impulsiveness, curiosity and daring, he plays a crucial role in the eventual defeat of the pirates: he retrieves the map of Treasure Island from Billy Bones; he becomes aware of Silver's plot and informs the ship's officers; and he meets Ben Gunn, which leads him to Ben's boat, which enables him to reboard and recapture the Hispaniola, killing Israel Hands in self-defense. Many times Jim is in danger of his life, but he survives..

I read on the internet that the time period was the 1700's. Between 1730 and 1750. Below is what I found on Yahoo. The fourth major character presented is Jim Hawkins himself, the narrator and apparently the novel's protagonist. What do you discover about Jim? His age is not immediately obvious, but you know something about the century in which he lives: "17__," he writes, and from later evidence in the book, you may put the events of this first chapter at no earlier than 1730 or so and no later than around 1750 or '55. it was set in 1754 to be excart

Terrified but curious, Jim looks out from his hiding place. He sees seven or eight men running toward the inn, among them the blind man who had visited before. The eight men are surprised to find the inn door open and Billy dead. They are concerned about the chest and seem disappointed that it contains only Billy's money: clearly they are more interested in something else that belonged to Flint. The blind man, whom the others address as Pew, orders the men to scatter and find the fugitives. He reminds them that they could be as rich as kings if they find the missing object.

Enraged, Pew starts screaming at his men, and they all begin to quarrel violently. Hearing a pistol shot, however, the men panic and flee, leaving the blind Pew alone on the road. Pew is accidentally run down and killed by men on horseback who have come to investigate. Returning home, Jim finds the inn ruined. He realizes that the oilcloth-wrapped papers in his pocket may be what the pirates sought, but he is reluctant to hand them over to the officer, Dance, who tries to take charge of the situation. Jim says he would prefer to show the papers to Dr. Livesey, and he sets off with Dance's party for Livesey's house.

Was Captain Smollett Jim Hawkins father in Treasure Island?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

No, Captain Smollett and Jim are not related. Jim's real father was ill so he was taken to London by Doctor Livsey. Long John Silver and Flint kidnapped him on a voyage with his crew to bury Flint's treasure. Six of the crew who bury the treaure all get shot by Flint, so they do not know where the treaure is. That is how Jim's father died. Throughout the story, Jim and Silver's relationship grows, and Jim comes to think of Long John as his second father.

What are some differences of the book and the movie from Treasure Island?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Since books and movies are very different mediums there is usually some discrepency

between the book and the movie form. Many of the racing statistics were rejected for the book. Statistics are not visually appealing. In the movie Charles Howard had only one son, who died in a truck wreck. One of Howard's son's did die but as an adult and he had at least four other children. But the integrity of the story was never compromised when transformed into the movie.
