Where was Jim when Silver dicscussed mutiny? Where was Jim when Silver killed a man? Why would it have been difficult to convey these senses if the story had been told from Dr. Livesey's point of view?

1) Then I came to a long thicket of these oaklike trees—live, or evergreen, oaks, I heard afterwards they should be called—which grew low along the sand like brambles, the boughs curiously twisted, the foliage compact, like thatch. The thicket stretched down from the top of one of the sandy knolls, spreading and growing taller as it went, until it reached the margin of the broad, reedy fen, through which the nearest of the little rivers soaked its way into the anchorage. The marsh was steaming in the strong sun, and the outline of the Spy-glass trembled through the haze.

All at once there began to go a sort of bustle among the bulrushes; a wild duck flew up with a quack, another followed, and soon over the whole surface of the marsh a great cloud of birds hung screaming and circling in the air. I judged at once that some of my shipmates must be drawing near along the borders of the fen.

2) Jim was in the same area when Silver killed Tom.

Please ask you questions separately.

no

So basically, Jim was in the apple barrel when Long John Silver was discussing the mutiny- he accidentally overheard the plan of the mutineers. Secondly, Jim was in the same area when Silver killed Tom. It would've been difficult to convey these senses from Dr. Livesey's POV because he had not witnessed these deaths- But, Jim had. Why? because at that time, (when jim witnessed the murders) Dr. Livesey was at the stockade. He thought Jim had been shot. Hope it helped!
