Part One- the meaning of pirates and a brief history

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Pirate: someone who robs at sea or plunders the land from the sea without having a commission from any sovereign nation

OR

Pirate: A robber on the high seas; one who by open violence take the property of another on the high seas; especially, one who makes it his business to cruise for robbery or Plunder; a freebooter on the seas; also, one who steals from a harbor.

These are two different definitions given about pirates – both relevant to the story that you are about to read. But what is the meaning of piracy? Or what is it to be a pirate? Not many people now now-days, seeing as the stereotypical pirates we associate with term are all gone. But in my mind the meaning of pirates is an outlaw, who has fun in their own way. Now this way indeed may be seen as the way of the devil but everyone must make their own way in life, and if piracy is that way so be it. Pirates should not bee seen any different as they are still living breathing people not messengers from the devil. However not many people share the same opinion as me but perhaps I have this opinion is that I have always had a fascination with pirates, and since the famed Pirates of the Caribbean: Curse of the Black Pearl was released, my fascination as become a slight obsession.

Here I go with a little history to my story, which may I add, could be repeated later on. As you all would know the story of Pirates of the Caribbean I will not tell it, but I shall continue with what I think happened. William Turner, son of Bootstrap Bill Turner for all those pirates out there, and Elizabeth Swann, daughter of the governor of Port Royale became engaged immediately on their returning from their adventure in the Caribbean. Dates were set; they would have their wedding in the spring following their adventure – the spring of 1790. A thrill of excitement plagued the port as the date of the wedding drew closer and closer until finally it came to the week before the wedding. Will was slightly disappointed as he wished to have the famous Jack Sparrow – excuse me CAPTAIN Jack Sparrow, appear at the wedding as Will's best man. Naturally the pirate captain had seemed to drop off the face of the earth so the wedding was to go on as planned, without the captain. But one warm night a week before the wedding a breeze blew in the most famous ship of the Caribbean, the Black Pearl. And sailing at the helm was none other than Captain Jack Sparrow. Doing what he did best he took Will away to the pirate port of Tortuga – only returning him to his desperate fiancé a month after the planned date of the wedding.

And so this ritual went on for three years with Jack becoming more and more frequent until he stopped coming. Elizabeth – being the kindred spirit she was allowed Will to go on his adventures with Jack, even though she wanted to go desperately too. But enough was enough and by the time that Jack stopped coming all the young couples were getting married and Will (seeing has he had earned himself not the err, best of reputations) had to prove himself once again a respectable citizen, there was no time to slot in the long awaited wedding – they had to wait and entire year.

So now we reach the present time of our story, Will and Elizabeth are set to wed and a new face is thrown into the beloved tale of Pirates of the Caribbean and for sure more mischief will plague the lives of our favorite characters.
