1 Choose the problem that you see developing in the book . Explain the problem and tell what you think should be done or what the characters in the book should do .

David Balfour 's villainous uncle has him kidnapped in order to steal his inheritance . David escapes only to fall into the dangerous company of Rebels who are resisting British redcoats in the Scottish highland . David Balfour was kidnapped . He was on the ship and he tried to find any way to escape . I think he should not go with his cruel uncle because he did not know about him so much , so he was very brave when he went with him . He had to fight with many bad guys and got many difficulties . For example , his ship struck rocks , so he went down in the water . He was so lucky because he was holding on to a piece of wood from the ship . Moreover, a lot of dangerous things happened with him .


2 Explain why you chose this situation . If something like this even happened to you , explain about it .

I chose this situation because I think it is very adventurous . Moreover , it makes me feel thrilling because I don't know how how the characters will solve this problem . If I was kidnapped and fell down in the water , I would be very frightened . I don't know what they will do with me and I can not swim ,too . Actually, I have never been kidnapped , but I think it is more dangerous than I imagine .
