    Usually when you think of pirates, the first thing to pop up is Pirates of the Caribbean. The famous Johnny Depp. People usually see pirates as mean, smelly, cruel men. Just as Captain Hook in Peter pan and many more. Johnny Depp playing as Jack sorrow is seen as a funny, weird and everything but mean. Even if majority of the pirates are labeled as mean and such, there is many who wished to be a pirate growing up.
      People like the author of Buccaneers and pirates, Frank R. Stockton; he wished on being a pirate growing. He stated how he only wanted to do so because he wanted the independence of life in general. Ignoring the fact that pirates are criminals and always have someone coming for them. Knowing I am going to have someone always trying to kill me and even my own men can't block it forever is the scary part.
      Mr. Stockton wanted to take from the rich and giving to the poor, doesn't everyone? Till the gold gets in their head and only want it for themselves. That's off topic though. Disney made pirates seem like they all had a heart at the end of the movie or even during. They made it seem as it was the life any would want and get everything easy. I doubt if Disney hosted them as how they really were in real life that children would wish to be a pirate growing up.
    Children love being the hero in the story like Buzz light, Spider-man, batman and such, it's rare to find a child actually wanted to be the villain whom is hated by everyone. Jack sorrow is also another specific reason why children would want to be a pirate if in his moves, it's more funny and cool than what they really intended to aim at.
