<p class="ql-block">Robert Louis Stevenson is a great English novelist in the second half of the 19th century.</p><p class="ql-block">His representative works include the novel "Treasure Island", "Dr. Incarnate", "Kidnapping", "Katrina" and so on.</p><p class="ql-block">In his early years, he traveled everywhere and accumulated resources for his creation. In his later years,</p><p class="ql-block">he devoted himself to the creation of novel and made great achievements. His style of work was unique and changeable,</p><p class="ql-block">which had great influence on modernist literature in the 20th century. By the middle of the twentieth century, critics had made a new evaluation of Stevenson's works,</p><p class="ql-block">began to examine Stevenson and put his works into Western classics, and listed him as one of the greatest writers in the nineteenth century.</p> <p class="ql-block">Jim is brave, resourceful and adventurous. However, the formation of his character comes from</p><p class="ql-block">both life experience and learning from examples. By Jim's side were Dr. Livsey, a calm and dignified squire,</p><p class="ql-block">Trelawney, a careful and agile captain, Smollett, and Silver, a cunning but shrewd pirate.</p><p class="ql-block">During his constant adventure, Jim absorbed some of the qualities of the adults around him. Later, he was as sophisticated as his adult partners.</p><p class="ql-block">He even absorbed Silver's analytical and thoughtful characteristics. So he dared to slip the pirate's boat secretly; when he felt that his friends on board ignored him,</p><p class="ql-block">he impulsively went ashore with the pirates; and when confronted with the pirates on the shore,</p><p class="ql-block">he left the group again and took back the boat through all the hardships. Through hardships and adventures,</p><p class="ql-block">Jim's maturity at the end of the story was quite different from his ignorance at the beginning.</p><p class="ql-block">The portrayal of Jim's image lies in the author's call for heroic ideals, not necessarily the Achilles-like</p><p class="ql-block">heroes in ancient mythology, but the heroic spirit that can bravely explore the unknown world in ordinary</p><p class="ql-block">times and overcome cowardice and courage under the threat of great danger.</p><p class="ql-block">This spirit was particularly valuable in the late 19th century, when money worship prevailed and heroes gradually faded away.</p>
