Invitation Guidelines. When sending invitations to a retirement party, do not mention gifts. While it is polite and common for attendees to bring a gift, it is not required. The only mention of gifts that is acceptable on the invitation is if the retiree requests no gifts to be given.
Treasure Island is arguably one of the most influential tales in the world of fiction. Every pirate stereotype that we take for granted these days we can see the foundation somewhere in this magic tale.
The Story of Ben Gunn, Pirate. Treasure Island contains dozens of pirates â from Long John Silver, whom no one will ever forget, to George Merry, whom few remember. Stuck somewhere in the middle of the pack is Ben Gunn. A bad pirate but a good man, Ben is one of the characters that give Treasure Island its depth.
