Treasure Island: Motif.
I think that the author used motif so heavily in the book, Treasure Island because its about pirates way back along time ago, not as modern as now, and a harder, rough time for people and they didn't have alot of money. When you bring factors like treasure into the picture, people get greedy because there isn't enough to go around and they want it all for themselves. Pirates, and even others around them all will struggle and fight for something if its something they like that They're not used to having around. If you throw a piece of bread at a bird they'll eight for it. Occasionally they'll have some but its not an every day thing for them.
Greed is still something that will effect alot of people today and in the future also and so it is a good topic to relate things to or write a book about. Greed can also come in many different ways so it is also a good expansle of a way that some things in life can take over our minds.
