Brave Jim

Treasure Island is an adventure novel by Scottish author Robert Louis Stevenson, narrating a tale of "pirates and buried gold." And It was first published as a book on May 23, 1883.
The story happened in the 18th century. Jim Hawkins was a little boy who was eager to sail to sea and search for treasure. Once, he hunted treasure on the Treasure Island. During that time, he had dealings with pirates and sailors, and experienced sincerity and faithfulness, hypocracy and tyranny between sailors. Besides, he also witnessed a lot of thrilling stories.
In this story, what impressed me most is the protagonist—Jim. Jim once was a timid and shy kid, but he changed after his father died. He began his expedition. At first, Jim was just a waiter in the cabin, but he had the courage to fight with the enemies. Finally, he even recaptured their boat from pirates and appointed himself to be a new captain. Although Jim was apt to impulsiveness, but what he presented was extraordinary bravery, courage and insight, which makes me admire him. At the end of the story, Jim returned, and never mentioned how much treasure he had collected. Instead, he swore he wouldn't hunt for treasure again, for he was often scared by nightmares which were filled with of the sea and gold. Gold brings nightmares to Jim, not dreams of wealth, and he knew greed and desire never bring a better life.
In general, Jim is a real brave. By courage and insight, he changed from a timid little boy to a hero; by calm and staid, he received not only treasure and reputation but also friendship and love. And what we can learn from Jim is that when faced with difficulty, don't be afraid; and by calm and patience, we can win.
