Impression
This Treasure Island story is good and interesting to read. It is easy
to understand. We can comprehend the story just in one reading.
However, the story is not so challenging. The story is too flat and
the end of the story is predictable. It makes me bored to read it.
Probably, if the ship was gone or destroyed because of the battle, it
would make the story challenging. Then, from this story, we can learn
history in different way. We know how people in eighteen century
interest in sailing or treasure hunt
