How did Phillip and Timothy disagree over the island?

# data[].attributes.body
#1.German U- boats had been attacking the island and they had no weapons to defend themselves.
#2.Curacao had a large oil reserve that the Germans wanted to destroy so the allies couldn't use it. Also, Curacao didn't have any weapons to defend themselves with.
#3.He went outside the area that his mother wanted him to stay in and instead went to see the German U-boats.
#4.His father thought the threats were nothing because he thought the germans wouldn't attack a small island and not to worry about but Philip. Unlike his dad, Philip's mom thought that they were all in danger.
#5.I think they did have to leave before things got worse, but I also think Philips mom was looking for an excuse because the book stated that she complained about everything. For example, the text states that whenever the wind blowed, she complained about the smell of oil, and she thought that African Americans have their own place in the world.
#6.Philip didn't want to leave Curacao because his friends were there and he started to like the island.

# data[].attributes.body
#I.Philip and his mother became separated when they were escaping Curacao by ship, but while they were aboard the ship, they were torpedoed by a German U-boat.
#2. Philip's first reactions when he found out that he been shipwrecked with a black man was prejudice. The text states, " I think it was very strange for me, a boy from Virginia,  to be lying beside this giant negros out in the ocean." This is one of Philip's first reactions when he found that he had been shipwrecked with a black man.
#3.Philip had negative feelings towards Timothy even though he was trying to help him because he felt superior since he was white. Since he felt superior, he also felt privileged even though there us no such thing as privileges when you are stranded in the ocean. The book states Philip felt privileged because when Timothy gave Philip some water from the keg and stopped Philip from drinking it all, Timothy became angry and upset and felt he should have have more water.
#4.Timothy comforted Philip in his terror over blindness by giving him hope. The text states, "Once, ovah 'round Barbados, a mahn 'ad an outrageous crack on d'ead when a sailin' boom shift. Dis mahn was blin' too. Tree whole day 'e saw d'night. Den it true went away." By Timothy telling Philip a story about a man who ended up in almost the same predicament as Philip, and got his sight back, it gave Philip hope.
#5.Timothy's words told much about his ability to sympathize with Philip's fears. Timothy's words say that he is compassionate and understanding. The text states that when Philip's fear tuned to anger, and he began hitting Timothy. The Timothy said, "If dat will make you bettah, go 'ead." This explains Timothy's ability to sympathize with Philp's fear because in Philip's rage, Timothy comforted him.

#1. Timothy burned the cloth to make a torch  because he heard aircraft above them, and they needed to a way to signal  the people in the aircraft that they needed to be rescued. The text states, "He ripped one of the triangle legs, and I heard cloth tearing. Soon, he said, "We made a d'torch, young bahss. D'mahn up dere be seein' d'smoke all  right, all right.This explains why Timothjy burned the cloth to make a torch.
#2.Timothy warned Philip not to put his hands in the water because there were sharks. The text states, "He said," Careful young bahss. D'sharks always hungry, always waiting for d'mahn to fall overboard." This is why Timothy warned Philip not to put his hands in the water.
#3.There are many different things that Timothy is becoming in Philip's eyes.Timothy was becoming in a way, Philip's guardian and guide. The text states that Timothy would be Philip's guide by telling him what things looked like in their surrounding area.Timothy was also becoming a guardian to Philip because he kept him out of danger and took care of him while they were together. For example, when Philip went overboard, Timothy grabbed him and pulled him back towards the raft. That is how Timothy is becoming to be seen in Philip's eyes.
#4.Timothy became angry with Philip because he put both of their lives in danger when Philip stumbled and fell overboard where the sharks were. The text states,"I knew Timothy was in rage. I could hear his heavy breathing and knew he was staring at me. "Sharks all 'round us, all d'time," He roared. That is why Timothy was mad at Philip.
#5.Timothy and Philip disagreed about the island because Philip thought they wouldn't be seen by a schooner or airplane, but Timothy thought they had a better chance of surviving on land than drifting away aimlessly in the ocean. The text states,''Maybe we should stay on the raft. A schooner will see us or an an airplane. Timothy said positively, "No, we bettah off on lan'. An' we driftin' dat way. D'tide be runnin' wid us." His voice was happy. He wanted to be off the sea." That is how Timothy and Philip disagreed over the island.

The are many events that revealed Philip's conflicting feelings. For example, on page 58, the text states,"I wondered if he knew anything, really, or if he was just a stupid old black man." Then, on page 59, the book says," Realizing that I was alone on the beach I became frightened. I knew how helpless I was without Timothy. The's statements reveal the conflict that Philip has with his feelings about Timothy.
#2.Timothy thought it would be unlikely for him and Philip  to be rescued because coral surrounded the islands and would sink the ships.
#3. Timothy wouldn't let Philip join him on the reef because Timothy had never been there before. Therefore, he didn't know what was on the reef.
#4. He remained hopeful because he believed someone would save them.
#5.Timothy caught native lobsters and built a fort.
#6.Philip learned that Timothy couldn't spell when they tried to make a S.O.S sign but Timothy couldn't spell help. This reveals that black people didn't as good of an education as white people.
#7.

When they wanted to be friends and started calling each other by their first names.
#2.Timothy weaved vines into a rope so Philip could use it to feel around his environment and help him get safely to the beach and also  to touch off the big fire.
#3.They were happy because it hadn't rained in awhile and rain filled up their keg.Also, Philip was happy because it was something he could hear and feel, it wasn't something he had to see.
#4.Timothy would change the subject.
#5. Timothy tried to get rid of the cat because  he thought the jumbi was in Stewcat.
#6.I think Timothy's discipline and training were necessary because it is possible that Timothy could die any day.No, I don't think Timothy should've shown more sympathy because they were both stuck on an island and were trying to survive every day.
#7.No, I don't have any superstitious beliefs

#1.Timothy heard a crack like a riffle coming from the sea, which told him that a very bad stor was coming. To prepare for the storm, Timothy lashed their wate keg to a palm.He then tied a rope around the same tree so they could hold onto it if needed. He then took apart the raft so they could use it for things.
#2. He called the strom a freak because it bred much closer, in a triangle way off the northeast tip of South America.
#3.He didn't want to lose Stew Cat or Timothy because he didn't want to be left alone by himself.
#4.Timothy sacrificed himself so Philip could live, even if that meant that he would die.
