Essay title: Skipper, Cantebury Tales
The Pirate of Today
Being a man of few morals, the Pirate would fit into our society quite easily.
With the number of occupations that require such a lack of appreciation for human
life (like working for the IRS), the skipper would fit in perfectly. “The nicer rules of
conscience he ignored. If, when he fought, the enemy vessel sank, He sent his
prisoners home; they walked the plank.” (Chaucer pg117 lines 8-10) In other words,
one must think of what kind of person destroys homes, because its their job, and
destroys the lives of those he attacked. To propose such an idea must seem
appalling to most. However, when writing a paper for school, while attempting to
achieve a dry sense of political humor, certain lines must be crossed.
