Johnny Depp is first introduced to the audience within Pirates of the Caribbean when he is caught trying to steal a boat from the Governor. Johnny does not need “need” the boat or necessarily have a mission that would require a boat. He only desires a boat to because a pirate’s goal is to be the captain of the most large, fast, and durable boat on the seas. This leaves the reader to believe that Johnny Depp’s character has greed running within him deeply. Depp then goes on to attempt the overtaking of the Black Pearl, when he already has a ship stolen from the Governor.

The book portrays history and tries to recall the events accurately while arguing the truth behind some of the fables. Throughout the book, Reiner plays both sides to identify the perjury that could have taken place to convict the pirates because of the stigma about pirates being horrible criminals. In addition, Reiner clarifies that pirates life was not a constant battle as everyone likes to believe, he does say ships would battle but portrays that as a rare occurrence, where as the movie articulates ship wars as a daily pass

    In the article, You Are Being Lied to About Pirates by Johann Hari, Hari conveys that the image of pirates has been villainized by governments throughout the ages while the very same governments provided the conditions that drive them to piracy. The article begins by explaining that during the gold age of piracy, the majority of men only had two options when it came to employment. It was either become a merchant or be forced to endure the unjustly working conditions of the Navy, which often times resulted in them getting cheated of their wages. So, as an act or rebellion, sailors would rebel, take over the ship, elect a new caption, and equally disperse evenly any profit made, amongst the entire crew. They collectively decide as a group about…

    When we were first given our extension history project tasks, I had absolutely no idea what areas I was going to research. I was going to research the Aztecs and the downfall of their empire. I was also considering researching the Amazons, but I was overcome by a whole new idea. The idea of pirates. I am a pirate fanatic, and I have seen many shows, series and movies that have portrayed pirates in different ways.…

    In the trilogy, Pirates of the Caribbean a young boy, Will Turner teams up with one of the most notoriously failed pirates, Captain Jack Sparrow, to find the love of his life, Elizabeth turner. Throughout the movie there are many parts where Jack Sparrow can be connected to The Trickster, by conning many people into thinking things to get what he wants. One example of Jack Sparrow embodying the mythic archetype is when he lies to Will Turner, making him believe that he is the captain of one of the most notorious ships on the sea, when in reality he was marooned on an island by his crew, however he tricked the young boy into letting him out of his jail cell, and in return he would help him find the love of his life.…

    Their contemporaries described them as “Robbers, Opposers, and Violators of all Laws, Humane and Divine.” Many viewed themselves as a more selfish reincarnation of Robin Hood, stealing from wealthy merchants, foreign traders, and abusive captains, and in doing so, threatening the hierarchical status quo of sixteenth and seventeenth English society by declaring “war against the world.” The Law considered them hostes humani generis, enemies of all mankind. In reality, pirates of the Golden Age, a period loosely covering the years 1660-1730, were none of those things, or perhaps more accurately, were not one but a combination. They were all robbers, since piracy in its most elementary definition is nothing more than a robbery at sea, something…

    On page eight, Rookmaaker talks about how the 1800s in this manner, “Religion was fine as long as it was purely private and did not interfere with the important things in this world, science, philosophy, scholarship, the high arts.” I believe this is practiced even more in our century than his. Many people do not believe in God or Jesus and a lot of today’s definition of “art” supports this. However, there are still some authors and movie directors that not only believe but show this in their work. It is stated in Lewis’s biography that The Chronicles of Narnia, did, in fact, have a Christian theme. The main character portraying this was Aslan, the Lion and the King of Narnia, as he is said to have been a Jesus Christ figure. Another example…

    These unruly pirates were greedy crooks and all alcoholics. What shock me the most about these lowlife characters is that they have no moral values, they value money over lives and practice the worst sins they kill for money or even alcohol they are disgusting people that plague our seas. Manners of pirates differ from me because unlike pirates I have moral values and I care about others unlike they do. They have no formal manners and are loud grotesque cold hearted people in…

    Behavior speaks louder than appearance in most cases. The skipper’s behavior was unmerciful. He gave no mercy to the loser’s of fights and immediately made them walk the plank. In Chaucer’s words, he ignored the nicer rules of conscience. In spite of this, the skipper is very smart and a great navigator, which gives the reader the sense that he is also a leader. Johnny Depp has a history of playing roles that blend toughness, intelligence, and leadership which would make him ideal for this role.…

    The history of piracy dates back more than 3000 years. "It appears that the word pirate (peirato) was first used in about 140 BC by the Roman historian Polybius. The Greek historian Plutarch, writing in about 100 A.D., gave the oldest clear definition of piracy. He described pirates as those who attack without legal authority not only ships, but also maritime cities (http://www.piratesinfo.com/history/history.php)." The most common meaning of the word pirate recognizes them as an outlaw and a thief. Anyone who was caught and tried with the act of piracy would be sentenced to death.…

    To a large extent, the “Golden Age” of piracy had provided hope for a better life to those who embraced it. The Golden Age was between 1680-1730 and this saw an increase in piracy numbers. Many of these men had previous sea experience as merchant seamen or as Royal Navy sailors. The religious cold war between Protestant and Catholic had brought opportunity for quick gains from plunder and on pirate ships, egalitarianism had provided equal and fair democracy for pirates. These factors would have been crucial in persuading previous seamen into a life of piracy.…

    The Pirates of the Caribbean film series is one of the most popular film series to run its course through theaters in recent years. Action, adventure, and romance are some of the things we come to expect when we sit down to watch these amazing film adventures. But one of the things we can rely on most is the presence of Captain Jack Sparrow. While Sparrow was conceived to be only a supporting character, he proved to be popular after he was added into Disney’s theme park ride that spawned the movie series. Of course, a character as “far out” as Captain Jack had to be played by someone equally out-there: Johnny Depp. First we’ll talk about how Depp got into the role of Captain Jack and then I will analyze how Jack is portrayed as a character.…

Ruth mistakes the word pilot for pirate and apprentices him to a band of pirates. She, too, remains with them as a maid-of-all-work.…
