Hello! The JSHow is back! In today’s episode, we will continue discussing the novel Treasure Island by Robert Louis Stevenson. We will analyze chapters 9-19 with various literary lenses, such as the Feminist and Marxist lense.

Evidence: “would not consent to take a fraction more than what was due to her.” (22) “I’ll finish all of them in the island” (60) “Mate, it’s because I thinks gold dust of you-gold dust, and you may lay to that! (75)

Hope you enjoy the podcast and see you all next week!

I really like you guys intro and it was very unique, yall also did a very good job at taking turns talking. I feel like your analysis could have been stronger because it was a little wack tbh, but other than that good job, its all love tough :)

The beginning was really surprising, it was an eye-opener. I haven't read the book before, so maybe a little introduction as to what is going on in the book currently, so I can know what I am listening for and can generally keep up. The bringing up of quotes was really nice, nothing was choppy. I like that you guys were able to joke and have fun during the podcast, makes it better to listen to. Lastly, the use of questions that you guys came up with during the podcast was thoughtful and generally helped the discussion move on.

I liked the intro, i enjoyed shana asking harlem to join the conversation. The questions that were asked and the lenses that you guys focused on was great. I feel like next time shana can do less talking and harlem and jacobo can talk more and come up with questions.

I love the beginning. I think the podcast is pretty smooth and flows well from beginning to end, it doesn't feel scripted or choppy. The way you guys conduct the conversation does a good job of capturing the story and discussions in a way that people who haven't read the book can still feel engaged and actually want to read it. The discussion around the author's intentions and the language in the book is interesting.

I like the introduction. By talking directly to the audience, it helps make the audience immersed and invested in the podcast. Although I haven't read Treasure Island yet, I was able to get a better understanding of the book from the context. With the use of page numbers and quotes, I can able to look back to the book and listen to other people's thoughts on it.
