S: Why he thinks a boy his age would leave his mom to run off with a group of pirates and what he thinks that might have been like.

 

R: It must have been tough for the mother to accept that her son had left her to join a bunch of rough, barbaric pirates. I also think that the thought of riches he could have if he joined the pirates, plus beer, wine, and rum, really got to his head.

 

S: Then I guess because he was confused by the part of the story that takes place in the present I guess I'd ask about which parts confused him and see if I could answer those questions...just sort of a fun topic to kick around.

 

R: What was confusing was the fact that they could get a bunch of names, ages, dates, a place a ship sailed, and the rest of that story by closely examining a bone, a sock, and a shoe, with a bunch of other artifacts. Out of all those I bet only the bone told about the boy, and not the rest of the crew. I would think that you can’t identify a finger, thumb, hand, or foot print that is older than ten years, let alone one-hundred years. So, how did they find out about everything else, excluding the boy?
