 Describe the expository scene of the story.

 The story starts with the two-man (Evans and

Hooker) who went on a voyage with a unprovised
Canoe (boat) with an unclear map. They got this map
by robbing and murdering a chinaman. Evans study
the map by ran his thumbnail over the chart for the

 What does the map look like and how do Evan and
Hooker interpret it?

The map looks like a rough map of treasure/ingots.

Evan and Hooker interpret it by running a thumbnail
over the chart for the notion of different symbols on
the map. Like; the curve and twisting line is the
river. A man with the map(Evans) said to his partner
that you can see this dotted line which was straight
and ran from the opening of the reef (समद्री चट्टान) to a
clump(समुह) of palm trees. There is a blue star just
where it cuts the river where we have to go. But they
don’t pay much attention to the dotted line.
Why do you think Evan and Hooker took such a risk
of finding the buried treasure in a desert island?

Evan and Hooker are more interested in receiving

treasures and become rich and powerful in a short
time. There is greed besides his thought of taking
such a risk. Evan and Hooker kill the chinaman and
robbed the map of treasure because of his desire to
live like a king. There is no sign of poverty and
trouble in their life. Their family can live a good
happy life. There are the some reason Evan aand
Hooker took such a risk of finding the buried
treasure in a desert island.
 What do you think is the moral of the story?

This story represents that greed is the big enemy of a

person and also shows the weakness for money and
wealth on persons. The end of greed is destructive.
We must focus and understand each thing before
making any decision on it. Otherwise, it result is bad
like Evans and Hooker. We must prepare before
going anywhere.
