Pirates by David Harrison



We were a rough and tumble lot, not at all like you see in the movies. A collection of poems describes the highs and lows of a pirate's life at sea.

  9. Yikes! being a pirate can be very rough, you hurt and kill and hardley get anything. sinning is dreadful ans scary in my case. Although all that the story was amazing and the ilistasions are beautiful.

    Pirates was a interesting book.It was a poetry book. The book was mainly about Pirates life.How they have rules and if you don't obey those rules. You get consequenses like, getting flogged, get left on a island, or killing you. It's not like cartoon pirates that we watch. Totally diffrent. I would just say I would not want to be a pirate .

    The illustrations were good. Although I love biographies and poems, I am not really interested in pirates. This book would be good for boys who like gruesome things.

  57. I liked this book because i love poatry. But I wouldn't like to be a pirate. Heres some reasons why. If i do something wrong I may get marooned orget whiped by the catonine tails. So if i were you, I wouldn't be a pirate.

  74. This book was about a man who was homeless and most men who were homeless back at the time of the book usually became pirates. The story tells about his experiences of being a pirate from life to death. I rate this book "great".
