Josef, Isabel, and Mahmoud are all facing obstacles stopping them from continuing their journey. In the boat, Isabel is facing different opinions from her family. Lito (Isabel’s Grandpa) doesn’t want to leave Cuba and he’s staying loyal but, Isabel feels like it’s something that needs to happen. If they don’t leave, her father will go to jail. Isabel’s boat keeps breaking down. The boat’s engine broke down. The boat also had a hole in it. They fixed the problems but more keep coming up. The only problem yet to be fixed is that Senõr Castillo disappeared in the waves. I think the problems keep happening because it wasn’t planned. Josef saw anti Jewish people in the lower deck and that’s making him feel uncomfortable. The people responsible for it are the anti Jewish people. Mahmoud and his family’s ship got delayed despite having a smuggler telling them that he’ll help them. I think it’s the smuggler’s fault.

2) In Isabel’s situation her obstacle was that her boat motor stopped working and while they were trying to fix it strong waves kept coming towards them and there was also a big tanker coming at them as well.The big tanker and all the waves are responsible for her situation.
B)In Mahmoud’s situation his obstacle was that him and his family  were basically homeless for a night/day because there boat in turkey got canceled.The people who are responsible for this are the people that have them the wrong information that the boat was leaving that night.

Mahmoud’s obstacle is that his and his family’s boat to Turkey was delayed for a day. The person responsible for this obstacle is the man that promised to give them a boat to Turkey.

They were unable to find a place to sleep since the hotel they were suppose to stay at was already full. They also learned that the boat they were suppose to take won't be leaving until the next day. Isabel and Ivan's family's boat was involved in a near-miss when a tanker was heading their way.
