Captain Swain's personality seems rough and tough but really he gave Jack and Praiseworthy (the 2 stowaways) a place on the ship and food but for that that had to shovel coal into the burning hot furnace this is found on page 14-15 this demonstrates Generosity. Captain swain also demonstrates caring on page 35 last paragraph Captain swain agreed to tow the other ship even though it was a risk to his race that risk that captain Joshua swain took I would have too risky but worth it  these are 2 traits of Joshua Swain

One opposite character trait I came up with is generosity. When Praiseworthy and Jack went to see the captain of the ship, they thought he would put them in chains, when they told him about the stowaways. But instead he gave them a job to shovel coal, and food to keep them working fluently. Another character trait of Joshua Swain/the captain is competitive. He really wants to win the race against the Sea Raven. These are a few character traits of Captain Joshua Swain.

One opposite trait I have seen is that captain swain sometimes shows mercy. He is in a race with the Sea Raven and he sees a small ship. They need a tow and captain swain tows them even though it slows him in the race. you see Captain swain shows some mercy.

Captain Swain is very generous because he did not make the stowaways, Jack and Praiseworthy, walk the plank. He also let Jack and Praiseworthy get something to eat before putting coal into the engine.
Captain Swain also has a very bad temper.  Whenever something bad happens, he always says "blast!"  When he was talking to the ship next to Lady Wilma, he asked, " Have you seen the Sea Raven?"And the captain said he just passed by here a few days ago." So then he said blast.

He was being mean to them and telling them to do work or they will have to walk the blank or the will put chanes on them so they did the work and the work was scooping coal or something like it. But when they started the captain offord them food. Also when they finished the work he also gave them a cabin.

Captain Swain is a generous person even though he tends to be a little harsh.  One contradicting character trait that Captain Swain has demonstrated was caring.  On page 15 he said it wouldn't hurt if Jack and Praiseworthy grab a little bite before you head off to work.  Captain Swain could have just sent Jack and Praiseworthy  to work or even just chained them, but instead he actually offered them a snack.  Captain Swain is caring.  He provides a good example for everyone around him.  Another contradiction character trait was generosity.  During the book, a ship, the square rigger asked for a tow because there was no wind for their ship to move.  At first I thought that Captain Swain would say no way, but to my surprise he offered to help them.  Captain Swain shows great leadership abilities.  He stands up to what he thinks is right.  Many people should look up to him as a great role model, because he is.  Even though many people may think of him as the mean cranky, old guy, he is actually a great person, and an amazing character in this book.

Giving, I think he is also giving because gave Jack and Praiseworthy '' stowaways '' talked to Captain Swan and at first when he found out that Jack and Praise were stowaways, at first he wanted to lock them up in chains . But after hearing their story of Jack and Praiseworthy, Swan had a contradiction and let them have a room and food besides potatoes.

# data[].attributes.body
I have have seen that Captain Swain is nice and kind because he gave Jack and praiseworthy food.  He did that because they were stow aways and he was going to put Jack in Chains and Praiseworthy doing a coal job.  Jack said if you put Praiseworthy to clean coal I am too.  Jack  said that I can do the  job with food we haven't ate in 1 day.  Captain Swain gave them food and they started the job.  He gave them food!!! That is really nice for them to be stow aways. Captain Swain can be very mean sometimes but he shows leadership and he can be generous. He can be mean and nice.

One opposite trait that I have seen is Captain Swain is generous because in page 15 he gave Jack and Praiseworthy a place to sleep and food instead of  putting them in chains or making them walk the plank.   Another opposite trait is that he is  kind. In page 33 he helped Jack and Praiseworthy find their money when no one asked to help. In addition he helped the Sea Raven get back in the race

# data[].attributes.body
Something contradicting that I have found with the captain of Lady Wilma is that at times he can be merciful. One example of this is when didn't tie them up and make them walk the plank like he said he would when he would find those stowaways. Captain Swain actually fed Jack and Praiseworthy. Another time he contradicted his stereotypical personality is when he towed the other ship. This is an act of careness. When we had first introduced this character, he was so destined to beat this other ship "Sea Raven" also going to California. When the other boat asked for a tow he actually debated with himself wether or not to tow the boat and he knew that if he would it would slow him down in the race. First of all, him just thinking about it is a very large contradiction of when we first met him. The fact that he gave them the tow is another contradiction.

One contradiction of Captain's Swain character trait is when jack thought he would chain him up or make him walk the plank but he said you and praiseworthy  can put coal into the engine but also he gave them food. Another time he let jack and praiseworthy demonstrate how they would catch the thief that stole their banknotes.He let them do it and they found the thief using and coal and ping strategy.I think captain Swain is a little bit rough around the edges but is really warm hearted in the inside.The last ocation he did this was when another boat needed wind to move and captain swag gave them a tow.

remember when they
wanted to

money the captain gave full
cooperation and found the

I think Captain Swain is thoughtful. I knew that when he said that he will allow Jack and Praiseworthy to eat and stay in the ship, if they work for him by digging the coal dust in pg.15. He usually make stowaways walk the plank tied in the chains. So Jact's worthk was afraid.
Also, I think that the Captain Swain cares about others. I knew that when the Captain Swain said, "By grabs, It's worth a try." So I knew that he was caring about Jack and Praiseworthy's thief.He kind of felt sorry for Jack and Praiseworthy.

# data[].attributes.body
Captain Swain's character trait is  that he is generous. Because,  on chapter 3 page 35 when the other Captain of the ship said " can you give us a tow captain?" Captain Swain  said "glad to help, sir! We'll throw you a hawser". This means that Captain Swain is very generous to others and cares about every person. Also, another trait about Captain Swain is that he is very kind. Because, on chapter 1 page 14 Jack predicted that now the Captain knows that they were stowaways he would chain them of force them to walk on the plank but instead he made them work in the coal bunker and also he let them have foods.

# data[].attributes.body
I think that one contradiction is when Jack said that captain swain would tie them in chains which is mean but actually he gave them food which is nice. Also when the square-rigger needed a tow the captain gave them a tow.

# data[].attributes.body
I think that Captain Swain is generous. Sometimes he can be a little mean but, he is generous. My proof is when he wanted to lock up Jack and Praiseworthy they told him they were hungry. Usually when someone asks that  to someone who is mad at them they would usually say no , but this time the Captain was generous enough  because he didn't want them in the boiling room with coal on an empty stomach. Who would? Another contradiction that Swain has is he is very thoughtful. When another boat saw the Lady Wilma they asked for help and Captain said " Glad to help, sir." He is very thoughtful to do that because helping one another is a very nice and kind thing to do. If I was Jack I would a little thankful to have a captain like that because if you met someone who would just treat you horribly and not give something to eat, "WOOOWEEE" I would be sorry for myself. But, I had Praiseworthy by my side so I might've been just fine.

# data[].attributes.body
Captain Swain is not mean because at one point in the book captain swain said, "do you want food?" Captain swain asked that when they were about to put the coal in the furnace. One trait that   Captain Swain has is caring because when Praiseworthy and Jack were about to go do work Captain Swain asked them for food which means Captain Swain is caring. The second character trait that Captain Swain has is sincere. Captain Swain is sincere because the other ship asked for help he said we will pull you. By pulling and helping the other ship that showed that Captain Swain is sincere because the other ship was stuck for a week. Captain Swain could be nice at times he should.

Captain Swain was not mean to Jack and Praiseworthy. They were stowaways and the Captain treated the nicely. Instead of chaining them or something worse, he nicely gave them breakfast and only made them do work. Captain Swain was generous. Captain Swain can be mean at some times. He shows leadership. He makes decisions by himself. He stands up to his opinion and follows it. When he decides hes going to do a race, he does a race. These are the character traits Captain Joshua Swain displays.

# data[].attributes.body
One contracting character trait is that Captain Swain is warm-hearted. Jack thought Captain Swain would tie him and Praiseworthy up since they were stowaways. But instead, Captain Swain offered them food and let them work off their ticket by shoveling fuel. Also, he showed kindness because he helped the square-rigger by giving it a tow since it's been becalmed for a week. Overall, Captain swain is a very contradicting character.

# data[].attributes.body
One contradicting trait from Captain Swain is that he is kind. He gave Jack and Praiseworthy food instead of making them walk the plank of putting them in chains. Text Evidence: A man can't shovel coal on an empty stomach or a lad either. Page 15 Chapter 1. Another one is that he is generous. When Captain Swain towed a boat that they found on their way to San Francisco. Text Evidence: Then he raised the speaking tube to his lips and shouted "Glad to help sir! We'll throw you a hawser!" Page 35 Chapter 3.

# data[].attributes.body
One contridicting trait is caring because Jack and Praiseworthy thought that Captain Swain was going to make them walk the plank or worse but they just were doing a job instead and when they went to shovel coal Captain Swain offered them food. Also Captain Swain is brave. When he saw the other boat he didn't just
run away. When they asked he said yes. That's another reason he's caring.

# data[].attributes.body
The captain has a heart and he is rough around the edges but has a smooth heart. He has heart it may be the most  small thing you had ever seen but it was still there.  The contridicting part is that he sounds tough and scary but he is nice in there some where.  He also has a big heart in the long haul.

# data[].attributes.body
Captain Swain is the oppostie and he is nice. He is nice beacuse he helped the other bot needed help.He is tough and smart when he was angry.
