An important relationship that is shown in the visual text Pirates of the Caribbean: Curse of the Black Pearl (2003), directed by Gore Verbinski was between two main characters, Captain Jack Sparrow and Will Turner. Their relationship was one of the most important in the film as it shows us how these two characters have changed their perspectives of the world and most importantly, towards each other. There are several examples of how their relationship changes throughout. At the beginning of the film, Jack considers Will as a lame commoner and Will was quite stereotypical about Jack being a 'pirate'. Their animosity and hatred were quite mutual given their respective backgrounds. As the movie progresses, this relationship is more about one’s own benefits. They realise and understand each other’s strengths and weaknesses well and use each other selfishly. Towards the end, this selfish attitude matures into friendship. At the beginning of the film, Jack and Will had completely different opinions about each other. Jack Sparrow, a clever, cunning and calculated man saw Will as a lay man and would find it hard to believe that they would become friends. Pirates in those days or even today are considered hard core criminals. Will being raised as a common man, irrespective of his past also think the same. The Black Pearl being at the pinnacle of evilness people consider the pirates on that ship to be the worst of mankind. The slightest hint that Jack Sparrow is associated with the

In the beginning, the were enemies and hated each other, even fought each other. But, over time in the book, their relationship changed to one of a bond of friendship.

Do the relationships in ones life define the individual himself or even the fate of that individual or are the relationships a reflection of the individuals characteristics, personality and choices? In the literary masterpieces, King Lear and 1984, the character relationships are the essence of the stories themselves. In each of these pieces, both Winston, the protagonist of 1984, and the major characters in King Lear are put through a series of situations, including isolation and betrayal, in which the relationships with other characters are important to their fate. In almost every instance, the connections between each character when based on love, trust and sex lead to the downfall of one of the individuals or both. Relationships that
Putting myself in the the position of a sailor back in that time I can see why many were attracted to the life of a pirate. The life of a sea faring man during the early 18th century was a grueling way of work. Wages were low, decease was rampant, ships were cramped, and discipline from officers was brutal, sometime murderous. The pirate life symbolized freedom and liberty and a brotherhood that stood for being “ one for

Quote 2: “Between lay in a pool of water. In the water floated a few shards of ice. In the ice were a few long strands of hair” (Bradbury 53). Explanation: I didn’t really understand why ‘The most beautiful lady in the world’ was added to the book.
The Atlantic pirates were after gold or booty as Disney producers portray it to be, but this wasn’t there main goal, instead the Atlantic pirate’s main goal was revenge. After several centuries of poverty and being in the bottom social rank people took to themselves to solve their economic problems by going against king and machinists. Many of these pirates either had worked for this mechanist or for the kingdom’s fleet. As stated by Dr. Marcus Rediker “Merchant seamen got a hard, close look at death: disease and accidents were commonplace in their occupation, rations were often meager and discipline was brutal… Some pirates had served in the navy where conditions aboard ship were no less harsh” (Rediker 206-207). These severe conditions were the driving force for revenge at whatever the cost maybe. The previous experience of being at sea made these pirates very knowledgeable because they also knew that the American colonies were doing their own thing. Even though they were
The Book is written by Adrian Tinniswood. Before I read the book I think pirates are rude and violent men, after I read the book I think pirates can be romantic and living for pirates can be jolly. There is always piracy on the sea since the days of commerce. Through the history of Europe, especially in the seventeenth century, piracy become a part of European history. The pirates seemed mysterious. Even in this wonderful book, there are not many part describes the pirates, it counties to be mysterious. I think it leaves room for reader’s imagination.
Many plays and books such as Peter Pan, Treasure Island, and many others have used pirates as characters for many years. Many of us grew up watching pirates on television, but most of the time in pursuit of entertainment the truth is
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
As the story progresses, Jack begins to fall closer and closer to that evil extreme. He hunts pigs on the island without any forethought to the future of the island’s resources (Golding 135). He attempts to overthrow Ralph’s leadership on numerous occasions, even though Ralph is trying desperately to get the boys rescued. Jack is also partially responsible for the deaths of Simon and Piggy; his evil actions encouraged the boys who followed him to act in a similar way. He also shows no remorse for his actions afterwards: “He [Jack] is Golding’s quintessential metaphor for underlining darkness in human beings” (LnC Silhouette).Golding also wrote Jack this way to show the reader to avoid imitating the evil extreme that Jack leans towards.
Pirates of the Caribbean was the first film of Pirates. The whole movie was about Pirates, their lifestyle such as stealing a boat from other people which were shown in the movie when Captain Jack Sparrow (Johnny Depp) stole a boat from the British people. Other fascinating facts which I found about pirates were shown in the movie when they showed a couple of punishments for pirates who committed crimes and of course the myth of mermaids which for me was inaccurate. This movie was released in 2003 and was directed by Gore Verbinski.
The pirates have created a unique system that has easily allowed them to continue to pirate with little conflict between one another. The former fishers, military, and technicians have joined together and mutually have all the skills needed to pirate including; difficulties of the navigation and handling ships, weapon and fighting training, and high tech equipment. They happen to be in a spot where lots of cargo ships have to go through as well as Somalis in port cities that tell the pirates when these ships are coming through. The pirates have a good distribution of power and profits and, without a greedy leader, everyone gets paid and no one rebels which could cause the whole system to collapse from the inside. They
