Describe the setting (place, weather and mood) in the 3rd and 4th part of the the Novel Treasure Island
Answers
Answer:
Robert Louis Stevenson's adventure novel, Treasure Island, begins in southwest England, moves to the Caribbean, then on to Savannah, Georgia and, finally, back to the West Country of England. The site of the actual Treasure Island is probably based upon the small, uninhabited island of Dead Man's Chest (or Dead Chest Island) in the present day British Virgin Islands. Blackbeard the pirate supposedly isolated a group of mutinous crew members on Dead Chest with a single bottle of rum--thus the origins of the famed sea shanty.
Treasure Island is one of the greatest pirate stories ever told, and it has been retold and used as the basis for many films, including the recent Johnny Depp Pirates of the Caribbean series. Action, murder, deceit, and tropical climes are just a few of the alluring attributes of the novel.
The story takes place in a few places:
It starts out in England, somewhere on the South coast near Bristol. Then the scene shifts to the ship. After the voyage on the ship, the scene is Treasure Island itself.
The mood of the whole story, in my opinion, is pretty dark. Until the very end of the story, there is always a sense of mystery and danger that is lurking just around the corner. When Billy Bones comes up to the inn with a saber scar on his face) and starts acting mysteriously and as if he's worried about the man with one leg, the mood of mystery and danger is set.
