Book Report of <Treasure Island>

Lots of people may read the masterpiece called <Treasure Island>.

This is an exciting adventure story about a poor boy who lives in a small inn, the Admiral Benbow, run by his parents in Black Hill Cove. The boy’s name is Jim Hawkins. One day, unexpectedly, he finds a treasure map which indicates the treasure hidden by the pirates in Skeleton Island. Then Jim, Dr. Livesey, Captain Smollett and his friend, with a group of sailors, set out journey for the treasure. After a short time, some greed sailors who are led by Long John Silver rebel for the map. These two groups fight fiercely. Evil can never prevail over good. Through each justicial person’s effort, Jim and Captain Smollett win the battle. And later then they go back home with the boat filled with treasure.

At the end of the story, Silver runs away with one of the bags of coins, perhaps three or four hundred coins. Captain Smollett no longer goes to sea. Gray, Jim’s friend, saves his money and now is a half-owner and captain of a fine ship. Ben Gunn, who is marooned by pirates, gets a thousand pounds. However, he spends all his money in three weeks. Then he has to beg and luckily is given a job as a gatekeeper when he comes back.

Though I don’t have a chance to adventure as Jim does, the face of Jim often appears in my mind. Jim is a kind-hearted, brave and ambitious boy. He can always find a good way to solve the problems or beat the pirates.

And this book shocks me when I read this part: You are in trouble. Ship lost, treasure lost, men lost. And if you want to know who did it—it was me! I was in the apple barrel the night we saw the island, and I heard every word you said. And the ship? It was me who cut her ropes and killed the men aboard her……Why am I shocked? Because I can’t believe a young boy has such great courage to say those words, and this is admired by me.

There’s someone I admire, and of course, there’s someone I hate, like Silver. What I can only find from the pirates are cruelty and selfishness. He kills people without mercy and even becomes crueler. His sole pursuit of treasure results in his red hand never dry.

Although it is only a novel, the scenes of the novel always come to my mind. It gives me a lesson. We can’t be selfish, because the selfish one only focuses on himself and can commit immorality or even crimes when trying to protect his own interest. We can see the justice of the spiritual wealth from Jim.

What’s more, in my point of view, we should save money in the bank instead of wasting it in our daily life. Wasting money is a bad behavior. The less money we use, the higher spirit level we will have. If we use up our money like Ben Gunn one day, we will be in a big trouble.

As a saying goes, “No pain, No gain”. If we try our best to do everything as Jim, I think we will make more progress in many fields.

That’s all. Thank you.

第二篇：Go Ahead and Brave(金银岛英文读后感)

Go Ahead and Brave

This winter holidays, I read many books,some of them are science class books,and the others are literary class books.Among them,what impressed me most was the novel named Treasure Island.The book was written by Robert Louis Stevenson.

Once Kant said: "I have chosen the way for myself, I will go along the way firmly.Since I have chosen the way,nothing should stop me."Yes,if a person always avoids the difficulties instead of facing it,this action is a waste of his life.His life will be meaningless,and he will never have any success in the future.On the other side,if a person has a strong sense of responsibility,he will be a successful owner.

A long time ago, I was afraid to face difficulties,but since I read this story <Treasure Island>,I have been determined to do a successful owner like Jim Hawkins.Although he was always prone to get excited,his courage and wisdom make me admire.I have learned many things from him,like bravery,knowledge,savvy and so on. If we also have the spirit that Jim has, many difficult questions must be readily solved.

The first person was Jim Hawkins in the story,whose mother kept the Admiral Benbow Inn,and who shared in the adventures from start to finish. An old sea dog came to the inn one day and hired Jim to keep a watch out for other sailors, but he was hunted out and given a "black spot". Jim and his mother almost escaped death when some pirates came to the inn for the sea dog’s map. Jim snatched up the treasure map , when they were forced to retreat from the inn. The map showed the location of the pirate Flint’s buried treasure,which Jim, Doctor Livesey, and Squire Trelawney determined to find.Fitting out a ship, they hired hands and set off for their adventure. Unfortunately, their crew included one pirate,who was also in search of the treasure,as well a number of his confederates. Jim overheared the pirate's plan to mutiny and warned his comrades. The battle began.After a soul-stirring battle,due to the efforts of the various crew members, the victory downed to this side of Jim.Finally the victors came back home safely with the treasures.

After reading this book, I admire the little hero very much. And it makes me feel more. Jim Hawkins was a timid and shy boy at first. At the beginning of the voyage, Jim was only a waiter in the cabin. But he was able to fight with the enemies, and recaptured the ship from the enemies at last.Although I did not go to the adventurous there personally.But in my mind,his honest face always appears,around me.On his side,he looked so noble, kind, brave.He was always able to beat pirate,win the victory.How brave he is!I have benefited immensely from him.I have learned a lot,I know what the spirit of tenacity is and courage are the treasures of life,I also understand that we should not bow our heads when we get into the trouble.Instead,we should face the difficulties bravely.Only in this way can lead to the success.

There was a blind man named Pew.He was a very cunning and ruthless person.At last,he died under the feet of a horse.This makes readers very happy.Many people would think this would be a punishment for him.But some of his words still give me a deep impression."There will be a opportunity to make a fortune in your eyes,you are still hesitant!... ...You know clearly the map was taken away not very far,however you has no courage to continue looking for it... ...”.This

statement gives me a question.If you are the memeber of these men,there is a chance of success in front of you.Do you have the courage to move on? In our real lives,we run after knowledge,we run after all the things that we like.Then we must encounter various difficulties and failure.At first,it needs the courage.The courage can increase a person's confidence,and with confidence we can face all the setbacks and solve them.Of course,in addition to courage, but also has the same indomitable spirit,as Jim.When we encounter the difficulties,we must not say: "NO!"Otherwise, your life will be wasted.To be brave enough to face difficulties.

Marie Curie once said: "If you can follow the ideal life,a true free spirit,brave determination and honest idea,you will be able to reach the realm of perfection and beauty."

Let us learn from Jim's spirit-to be brave enough to face difficulties and has an indomitable spirit to overcome difficulties.
