Treasure Island Chapter 1

So I'm reading the book Treasure Island this summer. So far it seems interesting. It uses different types of speaking and metaphors to enhance meaning. The first chapter is about a man who just looks back to a certain time in the countryside at his father's Inn. An interesting person who came in was a big man with nutbrown skin and a pigtail who turned out to be a villainous captain. The captain was often very quiet at first and would hang around the Inn for the whole time. He was also looking for a treasure somewhere, but he wouldn't let anybody know that. He asked people about it, and for a while it seemed tat he just wanted some company. But they soon realized he was avoiding any company. He had also said he would give the father a monthly pay if he would keep a look out for a seafaring man with one leg. It gave the father nightmares. He would imagine him in a thousand different forms. The worst of these nightmares would be of the man pursuing and chasing him. The captain turned out to be absolutely terrible. He would also often tell stories of bad things like walking the plank, and he would sing and force everybody to do so as well. He would never even let anybody leave until he drunk himself to sleep with rum. He would also often rise up in anger if a question was being asked or even if there were no questions at all. He would assume that nobody was listening to him. He would also force people into silence and slam his hand hard on the table. One night though, when he was singing his song, a doctor, who turned out to be the controller of his district, turned to him in anger, making it clear he didn't like his song at all. When the captain slammed his hand against the table, which everybody knew meant "silence", the doctor kept talking. The captain yelled at him to be quiet. The doctor then mentioned that if he kept drinking rum, he would soon die. They broke into a long fight. The doctor then mentioned that he did rule the district, and that if he heard this kind of behavior from him ever again, he would have him hunted down, punished, and sent away. Because of this, the captain then kept quiet for many evenings to come.
