Heros And Villans

  Now in days pirates are being depicted as hero's, but we can't continue sugarcoating the truth about these murderous thieves. There are books and shows that present a pirate as hero's and some present pirates how they actually were. For instants, "Under The Black Flag" and " Buccaneers and Pirates" are novels that show these two sides of pirates yet they have some connections.
Remember why hero's are praised more than villain's, which is why a new image of pirates was created.
Through our many years the image of pirates have been edited in some way. Because of this, there are Pirated depicted as hero's and villain's. In "Buccaneers and Pirates" the narrator sugar coats the truth about pirates in an interesting way.
In this book the narrator talks about when he was younger they wanted to be a pirate. Frank's' ,the narrator of "Buccaneers and Pirates" reason for wanting to become a pirate was because, "...the absolute independence of that sort of life....In fact, I had a great desire to become what might be called the marine Robin Hood."

This is one example how the industry of film making and novels influenced the heroic side of pirates which made many young children want to become pirates. Later on Frank R. Stockton, reveals the truth about pirates but does not do it in a gruesome and horrific way in which children wouldn't want to read.
Unlike "Buccaneers and Pirates", "Under the Black Flag" by David Cordingly is the complete opposite. David Cordingly basically says the truth about pirates and drops the mic right there and then. He gives some documented stories about these murderous thieves and they are not sugarcoated like "Buccaneers and Pirates" .
