Treasure Island Post

Young Jim, our narrator, is very careful to give us details about what he sees and hears. Because he renders those observations is such detail, readers tend to believe that the details he provides are reliable. However, Jim is young and inexperienced. He seems to have particular trouble interpreting the motivations of people he meets. Please post examples of Jim's youth and inexperience under the comments to this post.

Independent Reading

Reading on your own is an important part of becoming a better reader. I expect you to read for 20-30 minutes a night. Tell me about what you are reading on your own. Explain the main conflict to me. Who is the protagonist(main character)? Remember, make your post no longer than two paragraphs.
