General introduction to the subject and general outline of the figure of the pirate and the reality.

So far it’s just facts about pirates. It tells the stories about different pirates and even included Captain Hook. I did not know that Blackbeard was a real pirate and I think that was really interesting. To be honest, I find this book pretty boring for the most part, but there are some interesting aspects within it. I am going to try to finish it.

Progress is pretty slow right now since I physically cannot keep my eyes open. I’m curious if Brayden gave me a junior research paper in the form of a book, because it seems like I’m reading a textbook. So, not a research paper, but a textbook lol. at least this one is more interesting than the ones that I’ve read in the past.

I don’t really know what’s going on right now. I think this is a nonfiction book since it has citation numbers next to sentences, and I know I have to keep reading but it is a little difficult to follow long. Headed to sleep after 4 pages since I am exhausted.

So far a lot of interesting information. Didn’t know there were different types of pirates, I just figured all the different names that pirates were called were all the same thing, which is kind of true but hey it’s pride month and it’s like different kinds of gay people. I also did not know that pirates were prevalent until the 19th century, very cool to know.
