Significance Of The Nursery Rhyme

Pirates- they’re known to be brave, fierce, and unafraid of anything. They’ve been around for hundreds of years, and many movies, books, and stories have been made about them. One of these pirates in particular is named Calico Jack Rackham, and him, like many other pirates, has become a great legend and will be remembered throughout many more years.

“Mary, Mary, Quite Contrary” is also known to a lot of people. It seems like such a sweet rhyme, having to do with this little girl planting flowers and putting little decorations on them to make this really beautiful garden. You can see

The text highlights the changing attitudes through society, shown towards the Aboriginal culture, after life threatening events, bringing these men closer than ever before, “Back in France, back in the mud. Blokes like you shook my hand. We dragged blokes like you through the shit and blood. We saw each other when we were like babies. Like animals.” (wright 71). This text also, I believe, has an inner meaning of morals and mateship as evident in the closing stages of the play, where the stereotypical white soldiers are starting to get along with the archetypal black soldiers, who we follow through the play. Following their ever-changing story for a better future of equality and understanding. This all has an origin, which starts at the very beginning of the play, showing mateship between the Aboriginal men. As the play moves on the bold line separating the two different cultures, ever so slightly becomes fainter until it is just a blur. The inner meaning for this text, I see it as recognition towards difference and what is mismatched between the two cultures and how, this divergence from the normal, is why the black culture, represented as archetypal characters, we follow them through the play as they try to become just another face in the crowd, no different from the white man standing next to

Edward Teach, who was most commonly known as Blackbeard, was one of the most devilish and most notorious pirate ever known. Teach was only a pirate for about two years, but he still got the label. It wasn't just his travels or treasure that made him one of the most famous pirates, but his looks played a huge part. Blackbeard's few adventures, and crazy punishments are just a few things that made him the infamous Blackbeard historians know today.

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

Little is known about Blackbeard’s early life, but his real name was thought to be Edward Teach. There are other variations of his name such as; Thach, Theach, and Thatch although Teach is the most common. Teach was British and he was born before 1690 (Kirkpatrick). There is also little to no information about Teach’s family, one clue however, is that Teach was able to read and write, skills more likely found in people of wealth (Hamilton). During the war many men purchased their own ships and began the life as a privateer attacking enemy ships. Just as many young men Teach joined a British privateer that was based in Jamaica. Their mission was to attack the ships of the enemy (Kirkpatrick). Queen Anne of Britain gave Teach’s privateer permission to plunder French and Spanish ships during the war and to keep the stolen goods (Kirkpatrick). By the end of the was Teach had become and experienced sea robber. After the war had ended Teach did not plan to stop plundering ships so he joined a fierce group of Caribbean pirates (Kirkpatrick). And so started the beginning of his life as a pirate.

One of the most famous pirates of all time is Edward Teach. Historians believe Edward Teach's original name was Edward Drummond and that he later changed it to Teach after he became a true pirate. However, there is some mystery that surrounds his real name. There are records showing that he sometimes went by Thatch, Tach, Tatch, and Tash. These names could very well be an alias just as much as the next. With all of these names, Edward Teach was most commonly known as Blackbeard, and that is how he is remembered in history. Blackbeard received his nickname from his long, black, gruff looking beard that covered most of his face. He never trimmed his beard, and because of this, it grew down to his chest and was very bushy. During raids, he would braid his long hair and beard and tie slow burning, hemp fuses to the ends of his beard. He would light the fuses during battle to make his head look like it were on fire, giving him a very scary look. "The effect was terrifying. His face, with its fierce eyes and matted hair, was wreathed in smoke, and he looked to his prey like a fiend from hell" (Botting, Douglas – The Pirates).

The fact that Jack obstructs light in this passage hints that his face is cast in shadow, showing a darkness has taken over him. In addition, he loses full control of his speech, gurgling like an infant, physically reverting back to a more primitive state due to his rage. Jack’s original decorum is nothing more than a smokescreen for the rage he feels

During this time frame, pirates were among the most feared and powerful criminals in the world, lurking through the tropical waters of the Caribbean Sea looking for merchant ships to plunder and destroy.
