iolene, insubordination, ;ealousy, and loyalty. The problem arises when

some rew feel that the ommandin- o/er Bli-h is sel8sh, disriminatin-,

and abusie to the ship5s rew. 'lether beliees that only a mutiny an

sole the problem, settin- o9 Bli-h and those loyal to him to a launh in

open seas. The story impresses on me that subersie and insubordinatin-

people if not punished will later ommit other rimes.

miles from the islands, 'lether Christian and seeral of the mutineers

entered the abin of illiam Bli-h, delarin- a mutiny. Bli-h told Christian tobe reasonable, but the latter does not want to listen to Bli-h, but shouts at

him tellin- him of his abusie leadership on the ship, and announin- that

the mutineers will take oer the ship. Bli-h and his loyal followers are set o9

Bounty. 7andora led by 6dwards resued Bli-h5s -roup, then meet the other

ship that brou-ht the breadfuits to the est Indies. +ater the mutineers are

ourt martialed and punished, while 1dams hid and stayed in 7itairn and is

the only know surior of the mutineers after the punishment.

*+aluation of the #ook

I 8nd the story so di9erently of the men in uniform today. They are

more -entlemen, and obeys the rule. I like that the story instills disipline in

insubordination, but I dislike the slaery in the est Indies by the British.

The story is not 8tion, so it is belieable, and I -ie it 8e stars for its

narration of the one the famous stories in British Royal
