00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:04,360
This is MJ, I'm an author, I'm an artist, I'm an analyzer.

00:00:04,360 --> 00:00:06,320
You can find all my work at MJMunoz.com

00:00:06,320 --> 00:00:12,960
Welcome to my chapter 15 review of Peter Pan by J.M.

4
00:00:12,960 --> 00:00:13,960
Barry.

5
00:00:13,960 --> 00:00:20,000
So, I have mixed feelings about this because we're almost at the end of the book and I

6
00:00:20,000 --> 00:00:24,080
kind of don't want it to stop, but I'm also okay with it stopping.

7
00:00:24,080 --> 00:00:27,400
We have to move on, we have to get out of the story, get onto a new one, especially

8
00:00:27,400 --> 00:00:28,720
because Barry didn't write any other ones.

9
00:00:28,720 --> 00:00:32,000
I guess there's other Peter Pan books if you wanted to, you can go check those out, but

10
00:00:32,000 --> 00:00:34,240
I can't vouch for their quality.

11
00:00:34,240 --> 00:00:39,960
And anyway, I'll have a big, a big or more comprehensive discussion about the book in

12
00:00:39,960 --> 00:00:45,000
a few days from the publication of this when I do my book chat on Peter Pan.

13
00:00:45,000 --> 00:00:46,920
So here we go.

14
00:00:46,920 --> 00:00:53,200
I gotta say, it's kind of crazy to me how Peter Pan and the Lost Boys, and there's only

15
00:00:53,200 --> 00:00:57,160
I think five Lost Boys, so it's him and the other two, or one plus five is six, and then

16
00:00:57,160 --> 00:01:00,360
I guess, I don't know if John and Michael were fighting too, it's seven boys.

17
00:01:00,360 --> 00:01:07,360
They were able to defeat 17 pirates, I guess, including Hook, and 15 of them actually died.

18
00:01:07,360 --> 00:01:08,440
Two of them got to shore.

19
00:01:08,440 --> 00:01:10,720
One of them I can't remember who it was, but the other one was me.

20
00:01:10,720 --> 00:01:15,080
And it says at the end of the chapter that he hilariously, or deviously, precariously,

21
00:01:15,080 --> 00:01:18,240
made a living for himself the rest of his days, saying that he was the only man that

22
00:01:18,240 --> 00:01:22,800
Captain Hook feared, which is pretty funny because we have this whole thing about jobbing

23
00:01:22,800 --> 00:01:27,720
and how Hook, we learn to be afraid of him and we learn that he's a serious villain because

24
00:01:27,720 --> 00:01:35,160
these other guys were afraid of him or he stood up to Blackbeard or Long John Silver.

25
00:01:35,160 --> 00:01:38,040
And anyway, if you don't get the Barbecue Long John Silver thing, you should read Treasure

26
00:01:38,040 --> 00:01:39,720
Island because it's amazing.

27
00:01:39,720 --> 00:01:47,400
That's by Robert Louis Stevenson and Long John Silver is called Barbecue in that, and

28
00:01:47,400 --> 00:01:50,520
he's also called the Seek Hook, which I didn't remember from the book, but there's a very

29
00:01:50,520 --> 00:01:51,520
good reason for it.

30
00:01:51,520 --> 00:01:54,240
First of all, he's a cook on a ship, so that's why it's called the Seek Hook.

31
00:01:54,240 --> 00:01:57,720
But there's another very good reason why he's called Barbecue that I will not spoil for

32
00:01:57,720 --> 00:01:58,720
you.

33
00:01:58,720 --> 00:02:01,400
I kind of did an earlier chapter by chapter review, so you might want to gloss over that

34
00:02:01,400 --> 00:02:02,400
when you listen to it.

35
00:02:02,400 --> 00:02:03,880
But yeah, check out the book.

36
00:02:03,880 --> 00:02:04,880
It's great.

37
00:02:04,880 --> 00:02:05,880
It's a fantastic book.

38
00:02:05,880 --> 00:02:10,480
So yeah, I'm really shocked by how many people these guys are killing, these kids are killing.

39
00:02:10,480 --> 00:02:13,240
And like it's a little unrealistic, but it's also kind of cool.

40
00:02:13,240 --> 00:02:17,400
And Barry calls attention to that with the narrator saying, now had the pirates all stuck

41
00:02:17,400 --> 00:02:20,200
together, they would have been able to defeat the boys because they were stronger than them.

42
00:02:20,200 --> 00:02:23,160
Or, you know, a better fighting force, which you would think they have to be, and they

43
00:02:23,160 --> 00:02:24,920
have superior numbers as well.

44
00:02:24,920 --> 00:02:30,200
But also, before the fight even began, Peter already dropped four bodies.

45
00:02:30,200 --> 00:02:32,960
He killed four of the pirates.

46
00:02:32,960 --> 00:02:36,120
And I'm laughing because it's kind of preposterous, but also, you know, we've talked about this,

47
00:02:36,120 --> 00:02:41,560
or I've talked about this as the book's been going on, and I've been discussing it, that,

48
00:02:41,560 --> 00:02:44,320
you know, this book was written in 1903, 1902, whatever, published in 1904.

49
00:02:44,320 --> 00:02:47,680
There was also the play version of it, which I guess the play was kind of written before

50
00:02:47,680 --> 00:02:48,680
the book.

51
00:02:48,680 --> 00:02:49,680
I don't know the whole complicated history.

52
00:02:49,680 --> 00:02:50,680
I don't really care.

53
00:02:50,680 --> 00:02:51,680
I'm not going to look into it.

54
00:02:51,680 --> 00:02:54,600
But as things evolved, it just got kind of more and more violent.

55
00:02:54,600 --> 00:03:00,400
And you have these kids who are now, you know, Peter's been supposedly killing people, and

56
00:03:00,400 --> 00:03:04,000
Indians have supposedly been killing lost boys over time.

57
00:03:04,000 --> 00:03:10,760
And yeah, so now then in this chapter, he kills four of the pirates, like very quickly,

58
00:03:10,760 --> 00:03:14,360
and to the lost boys, like catch one of the guys' bodies.

59
00:03:14,360 --> 00:03:17,920
I guess the lost boys are loose and not Mary.

60
00:03:17,920 --> 00:03:18,920
Wendy.

61
00:03:18,920 --> 00:03:22,880
Wendy is the one who is tied to the mast.

62
00:03:22,880 --> 00:03:24,640
So yeah, it's really interesting.

63
00:03:24,640 --> 00:03:28,280
And then like the pirates think that there's a ghost in the ship somewhere because Peter

64
00:03:28,280 --> 00:03:30,200
goes in to get, what is he going to get?

65
00:03:30,200 --> 00:03:31,200
You know, I don't know.

66
00:03:31,200 --> 00:03:34,320
Oh, he goes in to get weapons, or no, the keys, the keys that are shackling the boys

67
00:03:34,320 --> 00:03:39,800
because he wants to untie them and then let them loose so they can flee or fight or whatever.

68
00:03:39,800 --> 00:03:42,480
And then it turns into just this all out brawl.

69
00:03:42,480 --> 00:03:43,720
And the pirates are scared that it's a ghost.

70
00:03:43,720 --> 00:03:46,640
And they think that there's a Jonah on the boat, which I love that biblical reference.

71
00:03:46,640 --> 00:03:47,640
That's very cool.

72
00:03:47,640 --> 00:03:53,200
Also, if you've seen Pirates of the Caribbean, Mr. Gibbs, is that his name?

73
00:03:53,200 --> 00:03:56,800
Whatever, the drunk guy, you know, take what you can to get nothing back.

74
00:03:56,800 --> 00:03:57,960
That guy who's sleeping with the pigs.

75
00:03:57,960 --> 00:04:01,560
Anyway, he says in the very beginning of the movie that it's bad luck to have a woman on

76
00:04:01,560 --> 00:04:04,720
board, even a miniature one, talking about Elizabeth Swan.

77
00:04:04,720 --> 00:04:07,700
And he says that when she's like 12 years old.

78
00:04:07,700 --> 00:04:14,160
And they say in this book that there is, it's very bad luck to have a woman on board a pirate

79
00:04:14,160 --> 00:04:15,160
ship.

80
00:04:15,160 --> 00:04:17,320
Let me see if I can find that.

81
00:04:17,320 --> 00:04:19,840
Yeah, so here we go.

82
00:04:19,840 --> 00:04:22,320
The quote is, no, lads, no, it's the girl never.

83
00:04:22,320 --> 00:04:23,680
So let me actually read the whole thing.

84
00:04:23,680 --> 00:04:28,080
So Jonah, if you don't know the biblical story of Jonah, first of all, it's a great story.

85
00:04:28,080 --> 00:04:34,480
Second of all, there's a lot of cool literary things that can be connected to it.

86
00:04:34,480 --> 00:04:36,320
And you should definitely check it out.

87
00:04:36,320 --> 00:04:40,240
But in the story of Jonah, he's responsible for God sending this terrible storm that's

88
00:04:40,240 --> 00:04:42,200
going to kill everybody on this ship.

89
00:04:42,200 --> 00:04:43,200
And he says, guys, it's me.

90
00:04:43,200 --> 00:04:45,480
I'm the reason God's mad at me and throw me overboard.

91
00:04:45,480 --> 00:04:47,760
And they're like, no, throw me overboard.

92
00:04:47,760 --> 00:04:49,200
Trust me, you'll be fine.

93
00:04:49,200 --> 00:04:51,080
And they all throw him overboard.

94
00:04:51,080 --> 00:04:52,080
And the storm stops.

95
00:04:52,080 --> 00:04:53,480
And they praise the God of Israel.

96
00:04:53,480 --> 00:04:57,800
And I don't know if they vow to or they actually make sacrifices on the boat.

97
00:04:57,800 --> 00:04:58,800
And Jonah goes off.

98
00:04:58,800 --> 00:05:00,560
That's when he gets swallowed by the whale.

99
00:05:00,560 --> 00:05:02,920
I believe the Hebrew actually says it's a large fish.

100
00:05:02,920 --> 00:05:05,520
So anyway, and that's what happens there.

101
00:05:05,520 --> 00:05:11,120
But it's referenced in Pinocchio and other pop culture things and older stories that

102
00:05:11,120 --> 00:05:15,480
have like this deeper connection to mythology and stories that people would be familiar

103
00:05:15,480 --> 00:05:17,240
with and people were familiar with stories from the Bible.

104
00:05:17,240 --> 00:05:20,640
So you can take a biblical story or biblical reference and spin it a little bit for your

105
00:05:20,640 --> 00:05:21,640
own fiction.

106
00:05:21,640 --> 00:05:23,040
And it's pretty cool most of the time.

107
00:05:23,040 --> 00:05:24,040
So here we go.

108
00:05:24,040 --> 00:05:25,040
So this is Hook.

109
00:05:25,040 --> 00:05:26,760
Like, the pirates are mad.

110
00:05:26,760 --> 00:05:28,560
They're about ready to mutiny Hook.

111
00:05:28,560 --> 00:05:30,360
And I believe this is him talking.

112
00:05:30,360 --> 00:05:36,360
Yes, lads, he said, ready to control or strike as need be, but never quailing for an instant.

113
00:05:36,360 --> 00:05:37,360
I thought of it.

114
00:05:37,360 --> 00:05:38,360
There's a Jonah on board.

115
00:05:38,360 --> 00:05:39,360
Aye, they snarled.

116
00:05:39,360 --> 00:05:42,240
A man with a hook.

117
00:05:42,240 --> 00:05:44,600
No lads, no.

118
00:05:44,600 --> 00:05:45,800
It's the girl.

119
00:05:45,800 --> 00:05:49,280
Never was luck on a pirate ship with a woman aboard.

120
00:05:49,280 --> 00:05:51,600
We'll right the ship when she's gone.

121
00:05:51,600 --> 00:05:54,040
Some of them remembered that this had been a saying of Flint's.

122
00:05:54,040 --> 00:05:55,700
I don't know who Flint is.

123
00:05:55,700 --> 00:05:57,200
It's worth trying, they said doubtfully.

124
00:05:57,200 --> 00:06:01,840
Sling the girl overboard, cried Hook, and they made a rush at the figure in the cloak.

125
00:06:01,840 --> 00:06:07,600
So at this point, Peter is in the cloak to look like Wendy so he can go out because they

126
00:06:07,600 --> 00:06:13,480
have thrown all of the kids into this room where they think this ghost is killing people

127
00:06:13,480 --> 00:06:16,560
because Peter has killed a couple of the pirates in there.

128
00:06:16,560 --> 00:06:19,440
And then they throw all the kids in there because they're like, hey, if the kids die,

129
00:06:19,440 --> 00:06:20,440
that's great.

130
00:06:20,440 --> 00:06:21,440
You know, our problems are solved.

131
00:06:21,440 --> 00:06:23,320
And if they kill the ghost, great.

132
00:06:23,320 --> 00:06:24,320
That problem is solved.

133
00:06:24,320 --> 00:06:25,760
And then we'll kill the boys afterwards.

134
00:06:25,760 --> 00:06:27,480
So anyway, but it didn't work out.

135
00:06:27,480 --> 00:06:28,960
It did not work out the way they wanted it to.

136
00:06:28,960 --> 00:06:31,820
And then they all end up getting killed except for two of them.

137
00:06:31,820 --> 00:06:34,440
But anyway, that's just kind of an interesting thing going on there.

138
00:06:34,440 --> 00:06:35,440
I don't quite know.

139
00:06:35,440 --> 00:06:37,440
They got on that tangent about Jonah, but I wanted, I have the book in front of me.

140
00:06:37,440 --> 00:06:39,840
Because I wanted to read it and I thought it was pretty cool.

141
00:06:39,840 --> 00:06:43,560
But yeah, I mean, it's kind of shocking and surprising that Barry's just having these

142
00:06:43,560 --> 00:06:45,360
kids drop these bodies.

143
00:06:45,360 --> 00:06:48,280
And I mean, I guess it's a classic adventure.

144
00:06:48,280 --> 00:06:51,840
Like, you know, most heroes, most legendary heroes are guys who kill stuff.

145
00:06:51,840 --> 00:06:55,920
That's kind of what a hero is in the very classical sense.

146
00:06:55,920 --> 00:06:57,360
And we get that here in this story.

147
00:06:57,360 --> 00:06:58,920
You know, it's a little less sophisticated.

148
00:06:58,920 --> 00:07:02,160
It's not for children.

149
00:07:02,160 --> 00:07:04,840
And that's kind of what's going on here.

150
00:07:04,840 --> 00:07:08,280
So anyway, you know, Captain Hook dies, he ends up falling into the crocodile's mouth

151
00:07:08,280 --> 00:07:09,740
and getting eaten pretty much.

152
00:07:09,740 --> 00:07:10,740
And that's the end of him.

153
00:07:10,740 --> 00:07:12,920
And anyway, we'll talk about more in the next chapter.

154
00:07:12,920 --> 00:07:16,540
I'm very excited to move closer to the conclusion of this book.

155
00:07:16,540 --> 00:07:19,640
And I've been having a great time and I'd like you to join in the conversation with

156
00:07:19,640 --> 00:07:21,160
this book as it's coming to an end.

157
00:07:21,160 --> 00:07:24,800
And stay tuned for the next book that I'm going to cover chapter by chapter as well.
