A Pirate Played By Johnny Depp

Tricksters have notoriously been known to ruin, not only their lives, but the lives of others. Although, they sometimes use their tricks to the aid of others by changing the ideas and ways of life of the people they trick. The trickster archetype can be traced back to nearly every mythological character. The trickster archetype is shown through Hermes, Loki, and the Joker in the way that their actions shape the ideas and ways of life in their cultures.

Tricksters get presented differently in movies and tv shows then they do in literature. For example Jack Sparrow who is a notorious pirate captain from Walt Disney's Pirates of the Caribbean film series. Sparrow uses wit to attain his goals, ending disputes verbally instead of by force. Also, Jareth who is king of the goblins from Jim Henson's Labyrinth, changes forms and uses magic to confuse the story's hero through a series of puzzles. Another example is Felix the Cat who is a transgressor of boundaries or to go beyond and over the limits. In the 1959 short

Here is a Modern Version of a Trickster Tale (collected from my research in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan). This represents how the trickster lives on in today's world:

Peter Benchley wrote "Jaws" the novel before it was made into a film directed by Steven Spielberg. "Jaws" is a thriller/horror with the main aim being to build up suspense and tension. When making the film Jaws Steven Spielberg had to face the challenging task of translating Benchley’s popular novel into a hit movie whilst still maintaining the suspense created through the many textual devices used by Benchley, such as language techniques and sentence structure. Spielberg managed use different camera angles and shots alongside lighting effects to create atmosphere and tension to pretty much the same effect. In the background he uses music and sound effects to add to the dramatic visual images he creates.

“After the 1890 season, the Pittsburgh Alleghenys signed several players from rival American Association teams- including the Philadelphia Athletics star second baseman Lou Bierbauer. The Philadelphia team loudly protested the move, complaining to league officials that the Alleghenys’ actions were “piratical.” The Alleghenys made sport of being denounced for being “piratical” by renaming themselves the Pirates for the 1891 season.” Pirates have had a strong presence throughout the ages; their presence has often garnered acknowledgment from governments- both foreign and domestic. For the most part, pirates are more real than ninjas based upon their presence and the acknowledgment of their existence by governments throughout history.

I have to believe that when things are bad I can change them, says Jim Braddock in Cinderella Man. I watched this movie last year.I watched in my family room. I watched this movie because my grandfather suggested it. I watched it on xfinity movies. This movie made $61,649,911 gross profit .

One central idea of Watership Down is that Hazel succeeds as a leader by valuing his comrades’ abilities, showing respect and kindness towards them and considering everyone’s opinions. Bigwig has strength and instincts that Hazel knows will be beneficial on the rabbits’ long journey. As Bigwig returns from his exploration of the opposite bank of a stream, Hazel says “’I’m glad he’s with us. He’s the fellow to find out all we need to know”(35 Adams). Hazel’s believes that Bigwig bears a marvelous tenacity and strength which is proven true when Bigwig makes it back across the stream with news of a loose dog. Not only does Hazel show gratitude and courtesy to his old friends, but also newcomers. Bigwig gives Blackavar

On February 10, 2017, I attended the musical Pirates of Penzance. This musical was put on by the drama students at Spring Arbor University in White Auditorium at 8:00 P.M. Pirates of Penzance, is a two hour musical about an apprentice named Frederic, who was just informing his boss, the pirate king, that his apprenticeship was up because today was his 21st birthday. Hesitantly, the pirate king agrees to let Frederic leave the pirate gang and live in the real world. However, before he leaves, Frederic asks his nursery maid, Ruby, if she was pretty. Ruby responded, “Yes,” and Frederic believed her and prepared to marry her. Just before the marriage was to take place, a group of sisters stumbles upon the pirate’s island and Frederic is taken aback by their beauty. In haste, Frederic calls of the relationship with his nursery maid- because she lied to him about her beauty- and he began pursuing a relationship with one of the girls who stumbled upon the pirates’ island. Major General Stanley and his daughters take Frederic under their wing and help him

Nicholas Carr's argument in "The Shallows is that digital technology, especially the Internet, has a negative effect on the brain's ability to absorb and contemplate information. He goes on to provide examples that demonstrate how the Internet provides too much information in too great an intensity for a person to think on deeply, or remember to begin with. On the other hand, both Paul La Farge's "The Deep Space of Digital Reading" and Virginia Heffernan's "The Attention-Span Myth" have evidence to the contrary. In the case of the former, it is said that, "Nauman (a German educator doing a study) gave a group of highschool students the job of tracking down certain pieces of information on websites:he found that the students who regularly did

Another thing that proves his character is that he split all his treasure with his crew only taking two shares. With his looks, he could have taken it all or half and thrown the broken jewels to the crew but he cared for them. He knew what it was like, when Stede Bonnet came to Nassau in need of help and Blackbeard took command and became Captain for the first time, as part of a deal, and still letting Stede stay on his ship was just another part of his good intentions. Lastly, he was going to turn himself in, he was just looking for the Diamond so he could make one “massive final score”. He had to make some money before he decided to stop being a pirate and get pardoned by the government. Now you may say that he was a monster and our own countries history tells us that but, I must ask you. Who writes history? The correct answer is those who won. America wanted to seem like heroes but in truth the probably killed one of the least murderous pirates of all time. Then the idea of him being a monster came from the sailors who crossed Blackbeard’s path. Think about it, if you were a sailor and you went home after being captured by Blackbeard would you rather say you were caught by the meanest most murderous pirate and you survived or, the worlds nicest pirate took

The trickster archetype is used in stories of various cultures from European to North American. With each story the trickster varies depending on the norms of the society the story originated from. In most trickster stories, the trickster and cultural hero are combined. The trickster can take any shape and is almost limitless in its abilities. They often go around the ordinary actions to prove a point or reach there goal. There are many different characteristics to the trickster archetype, they can be magical or break ordinary limits effortlessly, illogical, cleaver even in foolish manner, and have benign intentions, just to name a few however there are many more. In the Koasati trickster tale “The Bungling Host” has some of the more common traits such as causing unintentional harm, foolish, posses magic, and more common in NAtive American stories, the characters have definite shapes as animals. The less common ones this story possess is a creation story and death of the trickster. The Koasati Rabbit fits the trickster archetype because he is foolish, breaks the rules of nature, and the story involves silliness.

Jack London was born in 1876, and died in 1916. He was born in San Francisco, California, and was the son of Flora Wellman Chaney. When he was a child, he would sometimes living with the Prentisses. Mr. and Mrs. Prentisses were African Americans who served as London’s surrogate parents. When Jack turned 15, he sailed the San Francisco Bay as an oyster pirate. During his time on the water, London developed an alcohol problem, which would eventually become alcoholism. In 1894, London was arrested as a vagrant and spent 30 days in Erie County Penitentiary.

The movie Antwone Fisher (2002) illustrates the main character as a 24-year-old African American male from Cleveland, Ohio. Mr. Fisher is physically in good condition yet he seems mentally and emotionally troubled. He is often distant amongst his peers, quick-tempered, violent and defensive. He is a six-year Navy officer who has been involved in several fights with his shipmates. Due to frequent violent conflicts, Antwone was demoted to seaman and required to attend three counseling sessions with the U.S. Navy psychiatrist, Dr. Jerome Davenport. During the first session, Antwone mentioned that he was “from under a rock” and that he had no family (Antwone Fisher, 2002). It was revealed that Mr. Fisher’s experienced a distressing childhood

The pirate lifestyle was different. Pirates were better treated and had more freedoms and rights than normal sailors.The reason why I choose pirate lifestyle because they had many accurate facts about pirates in the movie such pirates drinking rum, stealing a boat, they were they dress and more. For example, Pirates only had rum to drink when they were on board because they did not have not enough water for the pirates on board. Rum was also easily obtained in the sugarcane rich Caribbean and olden day South Seas Pirates and that's what made rum the drink of choice which was all sown in movies when Elizabeth (Keira Knightley) was trying to escape from the ship of Black Pearl, they showed Captain Barbossa (Geoffrey Rush) drinking a bottle rum after capturing Elizabeth. The second reason why I say pirate lifestyle is accurate is that of stealing a ship. At the start of the movie when Jack Sparrow was to be hanged by the British
