How is it Historical……. The wreckers wreck lost ships with a false
beacon light to get their “loot”. They might also be called land pirates…get it?
The wreckers and pirates are illegal people who steal from innocent by passers.
The pirates and wreckers are still here to-day in the form of robbers and thieves.

Hist. Cont. This has really happened in the past as
it does in the present and most likely the future.
People use this form of “evilness” to create stories of piracy/robbery/thievery fiction.

Plot Ok, the plot is sort of simple. It has a very happy ending. There was a conflicts but there were
also resolves. This plot happens over less than a
week. You can read what happens on the front
page of our website.

Char. Cont. The book is part of a series. The book did leave me hanging for
more. The author did a beautiful job of creat-
ing the external and internal back-ground of his characters.
![Page 8: The Beginning of HAH](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022081502/568163cb550346895dd50933/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Point of View The author’s tone had a tad of mystery
and fear. It was written in 1st point of view. The voices brought me in to the story
and made me feel like the main charac-ter.
The tone had a great correlation to the book and its mood to the plot.
![Page 9: The Beginning of HAH](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022081502/568163cb550346895dd50933/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Setting The story takes place on an island close
to London and Spain. The place is really important because
the coast of the island is the reason for the whole conflict.
The story wasn’t really extreme at all. It shows an era of piracy and illegal
stuff such as smuggling.
![Page 10: The Beginning of HAH](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022081502/568163cb550346895dd50933/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
Themes The theme to this book is that “The real
truth is the most difficult to hear”. He tries to convey the ideas that people
wont know the truth just from assumptions but from the horse’s mouth.
This book also sounds like none of the other books from the group.
These ideas show how society will usually act.
![Page 11: The Beginning of HAH](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022081502/568163cb550346895dd50933/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Style His writing style was friendly and inviting. It was descriptive. It provides some imagery but not a whole
lot. It was more of a conversation type. They add power to the book because the
book needs a lot of conversation to go with the theme.
![Page 12: The Beginning of HAH](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022081502/568163cb550346895dd50933/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Also consider The book appeals to the emotional people. The book concerns pirates with family issues and
hidden truths. I thought it was not funny and serious. I thought nothing was funny in this book. The way a character in this book killed off his fam-
ily. The author had choices I strongly agreed with. The ending was not so satisfying since it was a sort
of like a cliff hanger.

The Voyage of Plunder (Next 6 slides) Author: Michele Torrey Read By: Ryan
Williamson
![Page 14: The Beginning of HAH](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022081502/568163cb550346895dd50933/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Why The Voyage of Plun-der is Historical Fiction:• The Voyage of Plunder took place in the 1690s and it fo-
cuses on the basic aspects of pirates during that time. Pi-rates were real then and still are real. This story could possibly be real because it includes real places, accurate pirate depiction, and realist action. Pirates did take peo-ple captive if they surrendered quickly, which was the situation Daniel and Timothy were in (see the characters slide). They did affect history by interfering with ships carrying goods from one point to another, trade was and still is needed in order to receive goods the country needs. They negatively affected history by looting ships set out on the ocean, destined for a specific point.

Plot: a Short Summary Daniel Markham was fourteen years old when his step mother,
Faith, became pregnant and some problems came up for his father in Boston. His dad decided that they would move to Jamaica on his ship, the Gray Pearl. Unfortunately, they encountered pirates on the way, the ship was burned, the crew was killed, and only Daniel and Faith survived and were taken hostage. Faith was brought back to Boston to have her baby, but Daniel was forced to stay on the pirate's ship, the Tempest Galley. It was headed by Josiah Black, the most wanted pirate in the world. For the next few years Daniel spent learning the pirate ways and looting ships, but he did not consider himself a pir-ate. Until one day the pirate ship he was on encountered an English military vessel. The Tempest Galley disabled them and star-ted to sail away but Daniel got in a boat and sailed to the English ship, ready to give up his life as a pirate. The English ignored Daniel when he said he was a forced pirate and threw him in jail. Later he was put on trial and sentenced to a hanging. Josiah Black showed up on the day Daniel was supposed to be hung and took his place be-cause he was Daniel's real father who had sworn to protect him.

Point of View and Setting
First person- Daniel’s point of view, descriptive and rebellious
Took place in the 1690s in Boston and the At-lantic and Indian Oceans. The time span of the book is about 13 years. The setting is very practical because the many of characters are pirates and pirates spent most of their time looting ships, especially back in the late 1600s.
![Page 18: The Beginning of HAH](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022081502/568163cb550346895dd50933/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Themes Force can lead to giving in-Daniel is forced to be-
come a pirate against his will, but he does partic-ipate in the killing and looting so he is somewhat giving in.
Truth can be withheld for protection- Daniel is not told until the end, when he is older, that his real dad is Josiah Black. Had he been told earlier, he would have denied it or gone crazy.
Fathers are protectors- This is why Josiah chooses to be kind and protective towards Daniel.
![Page 19: The Beginning of HAH](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022081502/568163cb550346895dd50933/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Style Through the narrator, Daniel, the author
shows that his style of writing is de-scriptive so that he can make a point. In the book, Daniel chooses to be rebel-lious, so perhaps this author also rebels to make a point. Daniel rebels to make sure the pirates know that he is a nor-mal person, not one of them.

BLOODY JACK
By L. A. MeyerRead by Trevor Kepler
![Page 28: The Beginning of HAH](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022081502/568163cb550346895dd50933/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
Historical In Bloody Jack, the protagonist is part of London’s very lower class. This is
what caused her try and get on a navy ship. This is the exact same rea-son pirates became pirates. Piracy wasn’t some fairy tale, it was ex-tremely dangerous, but many still took the risk. They did so because they desperately needed money.
Bloody Jack is also a great tool to show that pirates weren’t just blood thirsty savages, although some probably were. They were generally desperate people who had nothing to lose.
![Page 29: The Beginning of HAH](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022081502/568163cb550346895dd50933/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
The Plot Bloody Jack has a fairly complex plot. It involves Mary
‘Jacky’ Faber keeping her gender secret, all while they are hunting pirates. This is easy at first but then she starts to mature. This is where it gets a lot more difficult. And while all of this is happening she makes friends and then has then taken away in the battles throughout the book. In one such battle she saves her friend Jamie by shooting his assailant. This is where she earned the nickname Bloody Jack. Unfor-tunately for her the crew found out her little secret when she was kidnapped by pirates. She was saved, but was then sent to a prep school.
![Page 30: The Beginning of HAH](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022081502/568163cb550346895dd50933/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
Characters The main character is Jacky. She forms many relationships
throughout the novel with her fellow crew members and especially the other ship boys, Benjy, Willy, Tink, Davy, and a bit more so with Jamie. All of whom become great friends for the rest of their lives, however long that may be. An Irish crew member by the name of Liam became a father figure Jacky desperately needed. He taught her how to be a sailor and how to play music on a flute.
The antagonists are the pirates, obviously, and a man by the name of Sloat. He is a vile vermin of a man and Jacky ends up stabbing him when he attempts to rape her. Just desserts in the end, eh?
![Page 31: The Beginning of HAH](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022081502/568163cb550346895dd50933/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
Point of view Bloody Jack is told in the first-person point of view, which greatly
increases the entertainment value of the book. It helps when you are figuring things out as the main character does. It is more sus-penseful to say the least. This also allows you to truly feel for Jacky through the entirety of the book.
![Page 32: The Beginning of HAH](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022081502/568163cb550346895dd50933/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)
Setting The story is set in the early 19th century and begins in one of Lon-
don’s not so grand regions. After Jacky finds her dead role model in a deserted alley she leaves town and gets taken aboard a British Man-o-War. This is where the majority of the novel takes place. Jacky goes through a lot of emotional growth over the next few years, this is a real turning point in her life.
![Page 33: The Beginning of HAH](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022081502/568163cb550346895dd50933/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)
Theme The obvious theme for this book is life is tough and unrelenting.
Jacky goes through so much that its hard to believe she didn’t give up. Of coarse if she did the entire story would be a waste. I believe this book teaches a strong lesson to those who take their time and really read it. And anything you actually come against isn’t going to be a difficult to accomplish as what happened in Bloody Jack, so it is good to learn to tough it out.
