Quote #10
When he reached the top of the ridge he stood straight and proud in the moonlight, looking at Jim Hawkins' big white house, feeling the gun sagging in his pocket. (210)
Again we see how Hawkins is associated with power. Although Dave doesn't grasp it consciously, the social structure of his hometown is built around men like Hawkins: rich men who hold power over poor folk like him. In a way, Dave's quest to feel powerful can be seen as a response to this fact; this moment represents him finally realizing that.
