The research topic that I chose was pirates. More specifically I will be reading and learning and studying more about female pirates. Female pirates was an interesting topic throughout the time because unlike regular pirates they were females and were looked  at different. Female pirates weren't allowed on the ship and often covered and disguised their looks from the other pirates. The topic was interesting to me because I always felt like I wasn't like other people and that I was different myself. Growing up I was a left handed boy and different than my peers. When playing sports I always had to things the opposite way than the average person would have to do it. Female pirates were common and known, they weren't average pirates either. In fact a few of the female pirates happened to be even better than a few of the male pirates List of great female pirates

time machine & female pirates #5

As boarding the ship from getting out of the time machine. I immediately began wondering how will I take showers and use the restroom. I tried to become as adjusted to my new environment as possible from the wild smells of nature to where we would rest our heads when we go to sleep.

After moving everything on the ship they began teaching me and telling me what I would be doing while on the ship. There was several pirates on the ship but there was one that stood out more than anyone else to me. He said his name was Micheal, and he was a veteran on the ship. He began helping and showing me around. The whole time I was trying my best to try to fit in and act as if i was like the other pirates. When in reality I'm just a young man from Atlanta whose never even seen a ship previously.

As we continued to talk and he talked to me about what not to do. He said that as pirates they have very harsh and severe punishments for disobedience and wrong doings. We began to get even closer and he caught me of gourd telling me that he had to talk to me about something private and don't let anyone know. He began to take of his bandannas, as I looked closer it resembled to me what looked like a female. He began speaking, I know my kind is not really welcome here but my real name is Mary Read and I am actually one of the greatest pirates ever. I am actually really a girl society treats me different. Just because I am a pirate they treat me as if I am a man and am not feminine. Which is why I try my best to hide and disguise my true identity.
