Robert Louis Stevenson Accomplishments

The story of Treasure Island was written by Robert Louis Stevenson in hope to find a better area for his health issues. Stevenson’s writings achieved the idea of good and bad being inseparable. The main theme in most of his stories dealt with good and bad. When there is good, there is bad and also vice versa. His stories are influenced by the good where he found his true dream, happiness and bad situations where he did not fulfill his dad’s dream. As he strive to convey his work all the way until his death, his writing career took him on an adventurous life where he can write his independent thoughts.
