Biography of Jim Hawkins

It is the actions of Jim Hawkins that spin the plot of Stevenson's story. Jim Hawkins is actively involved in all events: it was in the tavern of his parents that Pirate Billy Bons settled, he stole a map of the island of treasures from the chest of this pirate, which he handed over to Dr. Livsi and Squire Trela; He discovers a conspiracy on the ship, finds Ben Gann abandoned on the island of Pirate, kills Israel Hends, leads a ship of pirates to the northern parking lot and becomes an apple of discord in the confrontation between John Silver and the remnants of his gang.

A boy, most likely a teenager, aged 11 to 16 years. The date of birth is years. In the Russian Wikipedia article, Jim's expected age is indicated - 19, but, it seems to me, to be enrolled by Yung, and not a sailor, at this age is quite humiliating. In addition, the indicated age does not converge with the occupation of Jim - in such years he had not only to help the household, but to own some craft or study him - which, again, would not allow him to enroll in the Espanyola crew with a simple young [Jung from him.

Junge- "Boy" or Nether. And a couple of indirect evidence from the work: “Of the twenty -six people, we could only rely on seven. And one of these seven was me, a boy.

If you count only adults, there were six of us against nineteen. ” Dr. Livsi, when visiting a blockhaus engaged by pirates and many more events indicate that the hero of Jim means a boy, and quite restless and not particularly obedient - this confirms the dear manner of Jim to disappear in the most inappropriate moments, finding herself in the epicenter of various events, as a result of the plans of both parties, although it is as a result Hawkins saves from the death of the expedition members behind the treasures except for pirates.

And do you really think that now we will let you die under a knife? It would be a bad reward for everything that you did for us, my boy. You opened a conspiracy. You found Ben Ganna. You won’t do the best thing in your whole life, even if you live up to a hundred years. ” Probably, most adults, whether it is pirates or their opponents, do not perceive seriously a boy spinning near them.

The surname Jim, just like many other characters in the novel, "speaking." A person who is well acquainted with English history, having heard the surname Hawkins, immediately recalls his namesake - John Hawkins or John Hawkyns, - an English sailor, shipbuilder, admiral, talented organizer, commercial, slaveor, pirate. For courage in the battle with an invincible armada, it was granted chivalry] - it is noteworthy that the mother of this historical personality in girlishness wore the surname of Trela, which is also found on the pages of the “Treasures of Treasures”.

After that, many traits of the character of the boy become easily explainable. Holds this word, even if it threatens his own life. Hawkins, you can give me honestly a young gentleman, because you are a gentleman, although your parents are poor - that you won’t take anywhere? I willingly gave him the honest word Jim Hokins Silver when visiting a blockhaus by Dr. Livsi. ” It should be noted that Jima is surrounded exclusively by male characters.

Femalers are only implied and the mother of Jim Hawkins-hostess of the tavern and the innkeeper “Admiral Benbow” is not influenced by what is happening; John Silver's wife, "not belonging to the white race." In addition to Jim’s personal charm, like a cat from Schrek, it is possible to cause sympathy for almost everyone who communicates with him, including both pirates - for example, Silver, Billy Bons - and gentlemen - Livsi, Trela, and Hawkins discovering a literary talent - because it is his main characters that the stories are asked to write memoirs: “Squire Trelaoni, Dr.

Livsi and other gentlemen asked me to write everything that I know about the island of treasures. They want me to tell the whole story, from the very beginning to the end, without hiding any details other than the geographical position of the island. ” I must note that Stevenson has not yet been filmed by a truly good film adaptation of this story? For some incomprehensible reason, everyone filming the story, the director, wanted to add something that, by no means, did not make the film better.

Stevenson, instead of Jim Hokins, is Jenny Gokins, actress Claudia Pugacheva, who, having changed clothes by the boy, enters the ship Yunga under the name of Jim.
