Just like me now. To be an explorer is a good choice, I just started my own voyage, fortunately I met precious deposits, then they have a good meal on us! Finally we find an area is a equatorial rain forest, but not ordinary! Unfortunately, gauss what? The most important for a pirate is not killed how many people , eat much more meat or have how many pretty girls, is about money! They do explored because they want to find money, all about precious deposits! As an explorer, the key point is to find more interesting object that we have never seen it before. Now our direction is near the Africa and the India. Here we want to have a exploration for the Egypt, something like Pyramid and the culture for this mystical place. We found a plenty of precious deposits. We were so excited to bring it back to our area and now it’s all belong of us! As the same time, there is the other group of people from the other side , we were so confused that who were them and what they wanted to do. Obviously, they’ve been there for the precious deposits, we must have a fight, so the world war 3 were started at there. We have a contract for the precious deposits. We were exactly got the lower price, so terrible and horrible!
We started to give it up and tried to find other precious deposits, area! It seems like have a big storm, we were lose the routes on the surface of the ocean, everybody were so nervous, we have to find a place to have a rest for resisting the it, there is some magic happening when we were so confused and tired, we saw an island with luxuriant forest. There is more and more shallow from the deep to the surface of the ocean. We used the string to got on the land then we went into the forest. There were no animals, besides the insects, so we safed, but except strange plants, they can move by themselves and the we were easily to get lost, the sun shine is not yellow, it’s a little bit dark green, very dazzling. They were help to watering and irrigation to each other, and taking down fruit from the higher place, we never saw these fruit before, so we send a signal to our country’s king and made them to faction people to come here and seizure here, and now thing happened. There were some strangers came and let us out of the island, they said this place is theirs, they found this area first, so we should not be except to be in here. Now we lose again! We were very up set about that, why we always not the first? Therefore we need to have exploration and have a fastest motion!
The ocean seems adapted us, they changed vitality to gentle and mystical. Fog is more and more serious, we almost can’t see anything, so we had no idea about where we wanted to go, while, the gold pitied us, we got a place with no support by ourselves. We wanted to have a rest to on the land and eat some food. Unfortunately, we even didn’t except to got on the land, there were some strange people holding the stick and at the front of us. They were almost wearing nothing, just some fur on their bodies, they have no shoes on, no hair, we even can’t resolution whether man or woman. The most interested point was they have a strange looking, they have three eyes, no hair, very tall and strong, children were taller then the normal person in our world! The secret man of us took a picture of them and almost killed by them! We had to running away.

Just like me now. To be an explorer , started your own voyage, the same experiences, met precious deposits, have a good meal on us, find an area is a equatorial rain forest. Joy in your exploration. Do not afraid to facing the trouble, that will be very interesting!

What You Think is What You See~

QuestionsAnswer each question in 3-5 sentences.

1. If the maps around you showed the existence of the Northwest Passage, would you believe it? Why?


I will almost believe it because this is the map of the whole world. Map has certain basis. This is the only thing that we can shows our trustful. There is a little bit that we should use our own's mind to find out whether have the Northwest Passage or not. We need to explorate to extrapolation it.


2. If you were John Cabot and someone told you the Northwest Passage didn't exist. What would you say? What would you feel? How would you react?


Obviously, first I'll cry~Hehe~...then I'll be spirit absent minded for a long time~ Feeling depressed, a dream is crush! There is amazing that we have mystical area to explor for more interesting objects. "Why you told me that? My heart is broken! We tried to find it for a long time now is leaving uncultivated~"


3. Find a map by Humphrey Gilbert from 1582. What do you see in the picture? Explain.




In this picture I can't see the whole area of the earth, because at that period, people didn’t have much more knowledge to solve how many plants are there in the planet that their lived. It might just a skeleton map for their exploration, or just the explored place but not complicated…so there is just has some contour line on the map.

4. Why did the Northwest Passage suit the goals agenda of the Eurpean explorers and monarchs?

They might want to find something special from this land, because the great environment of here can support them to do what they wanna do, and this area is very mystical that they really want to get first. They really anxious that have nothing to be their properties.

Essay

What kind of level can achieve the standard of bravery? It’s very imposing to say brave words, like “I’m very man! I can do everything for you, even lose my life!” Obviously, taking action is more important than language. In both “Sir Gawain and the Green Knight” and “The Sniper”, their shows bravery in two method , both actions and languages. In each case, mediate readers the true bravery.
In the story “Sir Gawain and the Green Knight”, Sir Gawain is the protagonist who is exactly bravery. He revealed readers his bravery either from he was facing to the King Arthur or keeping his promise to went to the Green Castle. As an illustration, the Green Knight came to ask King Arthur who had the courage that can hold the axe to strike his head down. No one had bravery to do it, Sir Gawain stepped come for shows the King Arhtur’s Knights are very brave! The key note is Sir Gawain’s verbal was so severe, he said “No one laughs at the Knights of the Round Table. Hand me that axe, and I will strike your laughing head from your body!” Feeling imposing. For this reason, he has provided with bravery because he can do everything even it is so difficult or dangerous! In addition, Sir Gawain refused the Lady Westall’s remind and keeping his horrible promise. For instance, when the Lady Westall’s whispered represented she wanted him to run away, but he said” Oh, I would love to run away, but then I would be breaking a promise.” He would rather abandon his life, but didn’t want to break his promise. Thus, he was a person who looked upon oath0 is important than life! Consequently, Sir Gawain was a person who was keeping promise when he was facing to death. In summary, Sir Gawain possessed the natural instincts of bravery to facing the difficulties and death, also thought keeping promise is so important that as human cannot live without water and food in the story” Sir Gawain and the Green Knight”.
In the story ”The Sniper”, the main character is the person who revealed the exactly bravery to us. This person is the sniper who wasn’t afraid of facing the difficulties even when he was injured, he was still using his scheme to reach his purpose and kill the enemy. The sniper revealed his bravery when he was on the roof, he was so relaxed, as usual, people in this kind of a situation will be very nervous, but he was not only smoking but also eating food, it shows us brave heart. When the woman told the person in the car that the sniper’s location, he was not afraid, and he killed them, but the other sniper for that said also shot to his arm, even he go the pain, he just quickly to fixed that. For this reason, he revealed us his bravery because he can do everything, even it is a big trouble! In addition, even the sniper was injured, he didn’t give up. For instance, he made a plan to let the enemy comes out and he see his face, so he didn’t care about the pain, he was throw out his hat behind the wall and some other objects, let the enemy concerned him thought he was dead, then the sniper was shot to the enemy’s back, the result was the sniper got his purpose. Consequently, he was a hero of the readers heart that shows his bravery in the story ”The Sniper”.
Bravery really useful for people, without is, maybe people cannot understand their inherent quality, I realized I can do more, also cannot make the society getting better, like the sniper strike the enemy! Suddenly we know bravery is a part of our lifestyle! “Sir Gawain and the Green Knight” and “The Sniper” proves this theory!

Viking Ship

This is the viking ship from the "Pirate of the Caribbean".This is the ship for Jack!

The history of piracy dates back more than 3000 years, but its accurate account depends on the actual meaning of the word ‘pirate’. In English, the word piracy has many different meanings and its usage is still relatively new. Today, some uses of the word have no particular meaning at all. A meaning was first ascribed to the word piracy sometime before the XVII century. 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. Piracy was described for the first time, among others, in Homer's The Iliad and The Odyssey. For a great many years there remained no unambiguous definition of piracy. Norse riders of the 9th and 11th century AD were not considered pirates but rather, were called "Danes" or "Vikings". Another popular meaning of the word in medieval England was "sea thieves". The meaning of the word pirate most closely tied to the contemporary was established in the XVIII century AD. This definition dubbed pirates "outlaws" whom even persons who were not soldiers could kill. The first application of international law actually involved anti-pirate legislation. This is due to the fact that most pirate acts were committed outside the borders of any country. Sometimes governments gave rights to the pirates to represent them in their wars. The most popular form was to give a license to a private sailor to attack enemy shipping on behalf of a specific king – Privateer. Very often a privateer when caught by the enemy was tried as an outlaw notwithstanding the license. Below we tried to outline a selective history of piracy, selective and arbitrary because there is so much that can be said about piracy and it is impossible to tell all. We hope that even this brief introduction will show the spirit and truth about the piracy the way we see it.
