• He thinks he is going to make a truce with Long John Silver.

• He thinks he is going to see if he can find the treasure.

• He thinks his going to get more firewood.

After Dr. Livesey leaves, what is it that overcomes Jim almost as strong as fear?

• He is disgusted with the blood and dead bodies in the heat of the stockade.

• He is overcome with anger at the loss of so many lives.

• He feels very homesick and wishes he had never come on the voyage to Treasure Island.

• He is filled with happiness and joy over the victory against the mutineers.

After the doctor leaves, what does Jim make up his mind to do?

• To slip out unnoticed and go see if he can find Ben Gunn's little boat.

• To follow Dr. Livesey into the jungle.

• To go look for the treasure himself.

• To go find Long John Silver and try to make peace with the mutineers.

As Jim draws near to shore near the mutineers' camp, what does he hear?

• a horrible, unearthly screaming

• a cannon shooting

• beautiful singing

• a huge flock of seagulls calling

What is the source of the sound Jim hears near the mutineers's camp?

• Captain Flint, Silver's parrot

• One of the pirates being murdered

• The Hispaniola shooting its last cannon shot

• A wild goat that the pirates have captured

What is Jim's risky plan once he's out on the water?

• Jim plans to cut the anchor rope to the Hispaniola so the pirates cannot take her out to sea.

• Jim wants to try to catch some big fish to feed the men in the stockade

• Jim want's to lure the mutineers away from their camp and chase him.

• Jim wants to try and sink the Hispaniola.

What can Jim see as he looks back toward the shore of Treasure Island?

• He can see the mutineers around their campfire as they sing "Fifteen Men on the Dead Man's Chest."

• He can see the British flag waving over the stockade.

• He can see the North Star, pointing the way home.

• He can see smoke rising from Spyglass hill.

What is the danger in cutting the anchor rope while it is extremely tight with the weight of the ship?

• The massive rope could snap back and injure him or even sink the little boat he is in.

• The pirates would run to examine the cut rope and find Jim before he can get away.

• The ship would have no anchor and therefore no way to hold her still so people could climb onboard.

• It would make a lot of noise and attract the attention of the pirates.

What does Jim hear onboard the Hispaniola as he lies quiet alongside in Ben Gunn's little boat?

• Israel Hands and the pirate with the red cap yelling and cursing at each other with drunken cries.

• The soft creaking of the ship and the flap of the sails in the breeze.

• The sound of muskets being loaded in the cabin.

• The sound of the two mutineers singing and laughing.

Who said these words, "Well, shipmate, mad he may not be, but if he's not, you mark my words, I am"?
