Key Stage 1 – My Pirate Adventure Captain Plank’s Pirate Adventure Once there was a poor young pirate named Captain Plank. He lived with his parrot Nelson in a tiny, run-down red shack near the sea. On Monday, Captain Plank decided to head off in search of pirate treasure. But then he realised he didn’t look like a pirate. So he rummaged in his cupboard and found a big black hat. “Arrgh”, he said. “Now I feel more like a pirate.” On Tuesday, Captain Plank was nearly ready to start his adventure. But then he realised he had another problem. He didn’t have a ship. So he looked around the harbour and stole a speedy ship with three sails while no one was looking. He named his ship the Flying Dragon. Then he was ready to set sail! On Wednesday, Captain Plank pulled up the anchor, raised the sail and set out to sea. Nelson and the Captain were having a great time. They sailed so far out that they could not see land anymore. But then Captain Plank realised they were lost. So he ran into the ship’s cabin. [Insert picture of map] He searched high and low until he found a map to help them on their way. Then Captain Plank and Nelson weren’t so lost. On Thursday, Captain Plank wanted to scare other ships with his fearsome Jolly Roger flag. But he realised some sneaky pirates had climbed the mast and stolen it in the night. So he ran to the bow of the ship and found a new flag and some paint. Then he made an even scarier Jolly Roger, with a skull and crossbones on it. Captain Plank flew his new flag with pride. On Friday, Captain Plank arrived at a faraway treasure island. He realised the island’s treasure was buried on the beach and would be hard to find. So he dug down deep in the sand with all his might and found some precious pieces- of-eight. Then Captain Plank wasn’t such a poor pirate anymore. On Saturday and Sunday, the Captain and Nelson had a big party on the island and invited all their pirate crew. They celebrated Captain Plank’s new riches and sang Nelson’s favourite pirate song… THE END “When I was one I sucked my thumb The day I went to sea. I jumped aboard a pirate ship And the captain said to me…”.

Loechle ALL RIGHTS RESERVED iii Acknowledgments I am indebted to many people for the help and encouragement they have given me during the long duration of this project. From academic and financial to editorial and emotional, I was never lacking in support. I am truly thankful, not to mention lucky. Sarah Burns, my advisor and mentor, supported my ideas, cheered my successes, and patiently edited and helped me to revise my failures. I also owe her thanks for encouraging me to pursue an unorthodox topic. From the moment pirates came up during one of our meetings in the spring of 2005, I was hooked. She knew it, and she continuously suggested ways to expand the idea first into an independent study, and then into this dissertation. My dissertation committee – Janet Kennedy, Patrick McNaughton, and Beverly Stoeltje – likewise deserves my thanks for their mentoring and enthusiasm. Other scholars have graciously shared with me their knowledge and input along the way. David M. Lubin read a version of my third chapter and gave me helpful advice, opening up to me new ways of thinking about Howard Pyle in particular.

Lighthouse design was his father's and his family's profession, so at age seventeen, he enrolled at Edinburgh University to study engineering, with the goal of following in the family business. Lighthouse design never appealed to Stevenson, though, and he began studying law instead. His spirit of adventure truly began to appear at this stage, and during his summer vacations he traveled to France to be around young writers and painters.

FOREST Directions from a location are indicated by a line coming out of anywhere on the box, but with the direction leaving the box indicated by the first letter of that direction. GROVE GROVE The above shows it is East from the grove to the swamp and West from the swamp to the grove. In the case of being able to go only in one direction, an arrow is put at the end of the path. FOREST GROVE GROVE This indicates that upon leaving the grove you go north to the forest, but that you cannot return! The best way to use this system is that, upon entering a location, you draw a line representing each possible exit and its location. Later you connect them to rooms as you continue your exploration. FOREST MEADOW GROVE GROVE The advantage is that you will not forget to explore an exit once you get past your initial probe. Another advantage of this system is that you never need redraw your map as you stick extra locations anywhere on your paper.

Barrie in Margaret " a delightful life of his mother, I remember how she read { Treasure Island,' holding it close to the ribs of the fire (because she could not spare a moment to rise and light the gas), and how, when bedtime came, and we coaxed, remon- strated, scolded, she said quite fiercely, clinging to the book, 1 1 dinna lay my head on a pillow this night till I see how that laddie got out of the barrel.' " This is the spirit in which "Treasure Island" should be read. The student should first be allowed to give himself up to the enjoyment of rapidly reading the story as a story. He may then turn to various parts of the Introduction and the Notes, which are designed to sharpen his appreciation and zest. Several sections of the Introduction have been included in order that the student may have immediately at hand material which hardly any school library possesses: for instance, a history of the Buccaneers ; many quotations from Captain Charles Johnson's " History of the Pyrates," which Stevenson used in writing his story; and extracts from Stevenson's essay " A Gossip on Romance." Further- more, the explanation of sailing a schooner is inserted for the benefit of the many students who, living inland, have no experience in sailing and no knowledge of seamanship.

Black Sails Rainbow Flag Examining Queer Representations in Film And
Black Sails, Rainbow Flag: Examining Queer Representations in Film and Television Diana Cristina Răzman Media and Communication Studies Culture, Collaborative Media, and Creative Industries Master’s Thesis (One-year), 15 ECTS VT 2020 Supervisor: Temi Odumosu Abstract This thesis aims to present, discuss, and analyze issues relating to queer representations in film and television. The thesis focuses on existing tropes, such as queer coding, queerbaiting, and the “Bury Your Gays” trope that are prevalent in contemporary media, and applies the analysis of these tropes to a case study based on the television series Black Sails (2014-2017). The study forms its theoretical framework from representation theory and queer theory and employs critical discourse analysis and visual analysis as methods of examining the television series. The analysis explores the main research question: in what way does Black Sails subvert or reproduce existing queer tropes in film and television? This then leads to the discussion of three aspects: the way queer sexual identities are represented overall, what representational strategies are employed by the series in a number of episodes, and whether or not these representations reproduce or subvert media tropes. The results show that the series provides balanced and at times innovative representations of queer identity which can signal a change in the way LGBTQ themes and characters are represented in media. Keywords: Black Sails, queer representation, LGBT characters, media studies, queer studies, media representations, Captain Flint, John Silver.
