Hi Gujaratif932, I will try to help you with this.
6) I believe the sections main idea was all about freedom and equality among the men on the ship. I think the author's point about that section was to tell the truth about the life of a pirate ( or atleast that what's comes to mind ). 8) 3 ways Barry overcame problems/setbacks: Research - Barry used the maps he recovered from the captain in 1717 to study and narrow down a search location. Permission - He was able to get enough info to win permission to begin his search, which then attracted investors. Money - his exciting story attracted wealthy investors who helped pay for the search efforts. 9) In my opinion, I believe that Yes, if you find something like a pirate treasure, which obviously can't be returned to it's rightful owner, then the new discoverer should take responsibility for it. In other words, "Finder's Keepers!"
Connotation is an idea or feeling that a word evokes. If something has a positive connotation, it will evoke warm feelings. Meanwhile, something with a negative connotation will make someone feel less than pleasant.
