'They say he leaves no survivors...'

My brother is a most capable and resourceful lad. Being rather miffed at not being able to write an Extended Essay on the mythology of Star Wars, he pitched another idea to the Omniscient Council of Vagueness teachers: pirates. That being approved, he's done some research, and he's focusing on one pirate in particular.

That's right, ladies and gentlemen, my brother gets to write a 4000-word essay on the awesomeness of the Dread Pirate Roberts.

And I wrote mine on Narnia. We're a nerdy family. XD

EEEE!!! The Dread Pirate Roberts is my hero!! Well... that's mostly because of Princess Bride, but whatever. :D

I'm reading The Princess Bride now, and I would venture to say that it is as good as if not better than the movie. :D

AWESOME. :DDDD

Narnia? Really? Any particular aspect?

I did mine on western dragons. I'm now wondering if I should've tried for something nerdier. Except I don't think I wanted to talk about fandom to teachers at all at that point.

It was on the symbolism of Aslan and Jadis, and was essentially 4000 words of me going "they're not just Jesus and Satan, y'know". I enjoyed writing it. XD
