At the end of the movie, Captain Jack Sparrow is sailing away in the Black Pearl while looking at his magical compass and singing the song, “A Pirate’s life for me”.

exchange for his life. Being one of Captain Jack’s only allies during the voyage for Aztec gold that took place years prior, he came to Jack and reminded him that he made a deal with Davey Jones 13 years before in order to resurface the Black Pearl from the depths of the ocean.
He is now required to either join Jones’ crew or get sent to Davey Jones’ locker . Davey Jones’ locker is a hell where Jones’ punishes anyone who betrays him. It forces captives to take on their own private demons. The only way to enter the locker is to die at sea. Davey Jones sends people there via the Kraken (Davey Jones’ massive pet sea monster) which he instructs to rise from the depths of the ocean and drag ships and crews underwater to die .Captain Jack Sparrow is stricken with fear and leads the crew to land where they will be safe from the Kraken. He and his crew then go to talk to the voodoo sorceress, Tia Dalma. She tells Sparrow and the crew that the key belongs to the Dead Man’s Chest, where Davey Jones placed his own broken heart after his lover deceived him. Tia Dalma instructs the crew where to find the key and points them in direction to Davey Jones’ ship, The Flying Dutchman. She also gives Jack a big jar of dirt that is supposed to protect him from the Kraken while they travel overseas. The crew sets sail to find The Flying Dutchman. Will is sent to the ship in attempt to retrieve the key to the chest since Sparrow would be immediately identified and hunted by the Kraken. Will is
spotted and held hostage until Jack Sparrow returns to Davey Jones with 100 souls to pay off his debt owed. Will’s father, Bootstrap Bill, helps him escape after Will successfully retrieves the special key from Davey Jones. Captain Jack and the crew set out to find the Dead Man’s Chest and Captain Jack Sparrow finally opens it to find the beating heart of Davey Jones. Everyone including the crew of the Flying Dutchman and the Black Pearl, Will Turner, James Norrington and of course, Captain Jack Sparrow, is trying to steal the heart in order to satisfy their own desires and settle their own debts. In the end, Captain Jack retrieves the heart from the Dead Man’s Chest and hides it in his jar of dirt but it is discovered by James Norrington, who steals it and returns to Port Royal to give the heart to Becket in order to be relieved from his warrant of arrest. Captain Jack Sparrow and his crew return to the Black Pearl and escape the Flying Dutchman. Davey Jones is furious, as Captain Jack still has not paid his debt and has yet again escaped. In retaliation, he sends the Kraken to exterminate the Black Pearl and take Captain Jack to Jones’ locker once and for all. Captain Jack faces the Kraken and is taken to Davey Jones’ Locker and the Black Pearl is destroyed. Will, Elizabeth and the Black Pearl crew escape the Kraken and go to find Tia Dalma once again. When they find her, she asks them if they would do anything in the world to save Captain Jack Sparrow and the crew agrees. She tells them the only way to enter Davey Jones’ Locker without dying at sea is to sail to the World’s End. She assigns them a new captain, Captain Barbossa, as she instructs them that they will need someone familiar to the seas in which they need to travel to save Captain Jack.

Brody is facing one last effort to shoot the compressed air cylinder lodged in the sharks mouth or die trying.
However, with the sighting of land, new worries and troubles are in the air. The pirates are not content with their leadership—a doctor, a wealthy man, and a weak captain. With land and mutiny in view, most of the crew heads to shore and lines are drawn for the standoff that is to come; Jim sided with the “leadership” and a few other faithful crew members, and the other side was the rest of the crew led by Long John Silver (an infamous pirate and the antagonist of the novel). With drawn lines and already many deaths, the first days were eventful and full of excitement. On Treasure Island, tensions were high as were the death rate and the number of those wounded.

The Pacific coast port city of San Francisco, California provides a distinctively mysterious backdrop in Dashiell Hammett’s The Maltese Falcon. Unlike many other detective stories that are anchored in well-known metropolises such as Los Angeles or New York City, Hammett opted to place the events of his text in the lesser-known, yet similarly exotic cultural confines of San Francisco. Hammett used his own intricate knowledge of the San Francisco Bay Area - coupled with details collected during a stint as a detective for the now defunct Pinkerton Agency - to craft a distinctive brand of detective fiction that thrived on such an original setting (Paul 93). By examining the setting of 1920’s San Francisco in The Maltese Falcon, it becomes apparent that one of Hammett’s literary strengths was his exceptional ability to intertwine non-fictional places with a fictional plot and characters in order to produce a logical and exceedingly believable detective mystery.
Blackbeard began his pirating career sometime after 1713, as an ordinary crewmember aboard a Jamaican sloop commanded by the pirate Benjamin Hornigold. In 1716, Hornigold supplied Teach with a small crew, and a small captured vessel to command. By 1717 Hornigold and Teach were sailing in alliance, and together were feared throughout the seas. In November 1717, Hornigold and Teach were able to capture a 26 gun French vessel called the Concorde (recent research has shown that the vessel had originally been built in Great Britain). Blackbeard’s pirate partner, Hornigold, decided to take advantage of a recent offer of general amnesty from the British Crown- and retire in comfort. Teach rejected t...
The imaginative Nightmare Before Christmas is considered one of the most imaginative films in some of the most recent decades. This film masterpiece from the creative and revolutionary mind of Tim Burton has been one of my favorite movies from the time that I first saw it when I was a small child, to now. The beautiful textures and colors perfect capture both holidays of Halloween and Christmas in the film. Along with the textures comes a masterfully soundtrack that so perfectly adds mood and depth to this story. The even the beautiful textures are enough for this film to land itself in someone’s favorite list.

...Jesus. This manipulation is obvious in Ahab's spirited speeches, detailed mappings, and eagerness, all of which are methods to rush the detrimental encounter. The craziness of Ahab's mission of revenge can be compared to the same type of craziness in the Devil seeking out the death of the Son of God. The metaphor is also strengthened with the final battle of the Pequod and Moby Dick, which last for three days from the moment the “White Whale” is first harpooned. These facts repeat the crucifixion of Christ, where Christ died and went to hell for three days in order to defeat Satan before rising into heaven in glory. Because of this accomplishment, the few who are faithful to the Lord are saved into eternal life, while all those who are unfaithful, are damned. Therefore, the entire crew goes down with Ahab except for Ishmael, who was theoretically faithful. Thus proving the metaphor of the battle between the evil powers of the Devil versus the divine powers of God and Jesus, both try to obtain the souls of mankind in order to assist in each other's destruction.
