From Jim’s comments, we know that his leaving turns out to be a good thing. Why does Stevenson make each disappearance fortunate for Jim? What would that lead his audience of readers to think? Are they influenced by Jim’s boldness?
-Thank You for the help
Instead of having the characters reflect on the death or talk together on how things are going to proceed, Robert Louis Stevenson starts immediately on a new stage in the action, having Jim leave the compound and begin to get into danger again. By having him leave, however, the reader is able to glimpse the actions of the pirates and thus Stevenson is able to more effectively tell the story because the reader can realistically know at least a little of what is going on in both sides of the warring factions
