They have their advanced machine, powerful energy so that came here to visit us, also I feel strange, because their wearing are so different from ours~ I’ll say if in our own language:” Hello, where are you from? I really wonder that why you guys came here? What you want to do? Is there anything that you want to know from our area?” First, I won’t be so nice to these people, because I don’t know what are they? So I have to ask them some questions about them and their village. If I ask clearly, I will give them a big meal and introduce our culture and life habit, for them who will live here for a week or a month or just a day…

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.
