End of watch is a twisted scary book. It starts out with a flashback 7 years back of when a man in a mercedes drove through a crowd of people at a convention. In the present there is a bunch homicide/suicide that Hodges (the guy called in to help) is trying to solve. He believes that they’re all connected. He and his helper holly are doing there best to solve the suicides. They find out that a man named brady is behind these suicides, the same man who drove through the convention also known as the meradese killer. He can move things with his mind and control people with hypnosis as if they were a vehicle. He started off by controlling a few people including Doctor babineau whom he has controlled to by zappit consuls in bulk. Brady has started handing out the consuls to people that attended the roundabout concert in which he attempted to detonate a bomb meant to kill everyone at the concert and himself. He has a demo game called fishing hole that he uses to hypnotise the people from the concert into killing themselves. Brady is racing Hodges and messing him up to kill all the people little does brady know, Hodges is also racing with his life for he has been diagnosed with pancreatic cancer. This is a very good twisted book. I recommend it to people who like murder suicide books.
This a review of Treasure Island by Robert Louis Stevenson a Scottish born author was written in 1883. Treasure Island is one of Stevensonâs most famous works, and a renowned pirate classic and adventure story of the 1900 Century. The book is 134 years old and Treasure Island is a book for all ages to read. It was originally published as a series in a childrenâs magazine called Young Folks between 1881 and 1882. Currently there are no literary awards to its credit. Treasure Island has six parts and about thirty-three chapters in the work. The six parts include: The Old Buccaneer,The Sea Cook, My Shore Adventure,The Stockade, My Sea Adventure, and Captain Silver. Multiple recreations of the book have been made into like named movies, plays, and TV shows.
Treasure Island starts off in Bristol at the Admiral Benbow Inn where a dead captain, Bill tells secrets of his sea chest to Jim Hawkins. The story progresses in the Sea Cook section as a new crew, with an eager desire to find loot and treasure, is hired to sail the Hispaniola, including the the Captain Smollett and a deceitful cook Long John Silver. Following the voyage to Skeleton Island the Hispaniola lay anchored until Jim sets it adrift one evening. The crew disembarks from the anchored Hispaniola and then the mutiny begins as the groups fight for possession of the treasure map. The pirates lead by Silver hide in the jungle and appearing under a white flag at the stockade, Silver leads an attack on Smollett, Trelawney and Livesey to obtain the treasure map following their refusal to surrender the map. With battles on land and on the sea the pirates obtain the map and set out to find the famous Pirate Flintâs treasure.The cache was found empty by Silver and later the treasure was discovered in the possession of Ben Gunn(who had moved the treasure to a cave).The treasure was then loaded in the final chapters onto the Hispaniola and she set sail for Bristol.( Her first stop was in Spanish America, in modern-day Mexico, where Silver escaped into history with a sack of coins.)
The many characters play important roles in the plot of Treasure Island. Jim Hawkins, the innkeeperâs son, a thirteen year old boy on the voyage, and first person narrator of the tale become the owner of the famed treasure map. Captain Smollett is captain of the Hispaniola, Smollett is savvy and takes his navigation role seriously. Dr. Livesey is the town physician and doctor on board. Then there is the deceitful and trickster antagonist called Silver(Long John) who is the cook on the Hispaniola and the leader of the pirate band.The pirate crew includes characters Ben Gunn (Pirate in Flintâs Crew), OâBrien, Israel Hands, and other unnamed specific characters or mutineers.
The dialogue of Treasure Island is similar to many other pirate and treasure tales and adds depth to the story. You can find many phrases like âshiver my timbersâ (an expression to show shock), âblack spotâ (a death threat) and âaye captainâ throughout the chapters. In addition, one leg pirates and pirates with parrots riding their shoulders help round out the tale. The plot is also similar to famous pirate stories like Black Beard and Pirates of the Caribbean where the ultimate goal is to find treasure and loot on some deserted island with wild savages or mutilist inhabiting the area. The violence present in Treasure Island, like in other similar tales and behavior which most people believe to be as true pirate behavior, is extensively described in Treasure Island. Various bar scenes with rum drinking, the mutiny/betrayal of the Captain on the ship as well as the murder of various crew members and various references to weapons including swords, muskets, flintlock pistols, and other melee (or hand) weapons add to the pirate life images we all think of today. In many cases Treasure Island is the first pirate tale most people read. Treasure island is a classic meant for anyone who loves action and adventure on the high sea.
This class just keeps getting weirder and weirder as time goes on…
