Treasure Island
The novel begins with much action and conflict. As one keeps reading the pace of the story begins to slow down. For the first couple of chapters their is an enormous amount of chasing for "Billy's treasure chest". The novel contains a couple of deaths in the first couple of chapters. As I am reading I realize that the infamous treasure that everyone is speaking of is established in the first couple of chapters. As I advance with my reading I learn that their was a specific item in the chest that was missing. Now the chase is begins again. The novel maintains its fast action pace for a couple of more chapters. The protagonist and his crew soon set their view points toward an island that contained more loot. The protagonist soon begins to flourish as a courageous hero. The novel's fast pace soon reaches a halt as the protagonist and his crew members reach the island. Though their all together the protagonist realizes that not all of his crew members are loyal and trust worthy. This can bring forth some controversy but we will have to wait and see how exactly that plays out. The protagonist is enrolled in a very messy dilemma because their is a group of people trying to execute everyone on the search for the treasure because they want it for themselves. Even without the fast pace of constant deaths one feels the excitement in the novel and realizes that the killings aren't the only dilemma in the treasure island. They are in a very poisonous environment with an enormous competitive crowd of people all containing the same motives that will do anything in their power to accomplish it.
