The Cay: Q and A

Chapter 12-13: Q&A

Phillip and Timothy have been on the island for 48 days.

What does Phillip do to help Timothy when he is sick?

Phillip poured water from the keg and gave it to Timothy. Phillip ripped a a piece of cloth from what was left of his shirt, damped it with water and placed it on Timothy´s forehead. 

Explain why Phillip is ready to climb the coconut tree.

He wanted to help Timothy-gather props.

Why do you think Timothy is trying to teach Phillip these survival skills?

If Timothy isn't there for Phillip, then Phillip should know the basics of survival and what is beyond the island.

What do you think Phillip means by his comment. ¨are you still black?¨

Hearing this new type of Timothy, changes his point of view in a way that makes him think he changed.

It is a very important skill to me because if you are not focused and actually engaged into the whole thing, then obviously it will be difficult to experience such a frighting moment, to open up.

 Topic: Your name is an important part of who you are

I agree on this statement because how are we supposed to identify ourselves as different people. Another reason is because our names may contain a certain meaning of who we are, apart from it's unique sound and looks.
