At first he heard bombs firing and aircrafts in the air. Phillip lights the fire but the planes never come down and see it. He starts to sob and cry. He just wanted to die. When all of a sudden, Phillip thought about what color the smoke was. He thought about the seagrape since a fire needs oil to show black smoke. So, the next time he heard the air crafts, he put bundles of seagrape and the plane searched the island to get a better look at it. Although it did not take Phillip with them. Later, a boat came to the island and Phillip told them that he was there. They saw him and rushed him to the hospital. He found his parents there and he had a successful operation and now he was able to see. He said that one day he will go back to the small cay and close his eyes to make sure that it was the right cay. He will stand by Timothy's grave and say a few words that would be very touching. That was my favorite part of the entire book.

Days on the island Timothy and Phillip were about to eat scallops when Timothy and Phillip heard the sound of a rifle firing. That was the first signal that warned Timothy that there was going to be a terrible hurricane. It was called a tempest. Timothy started getting rope and tie the important things at the top of a palm tree. After all of that was done Timothy tied both of their selves to a palm tree. they were ready to take on the tempest. Timothy risks he life for Phillip and dies minutes after the tempest is over. Phillip digs a grave for Timothy with his bare hands and buried him. This was heart breaking because Timothy has always been there for Phillip and he can't be there any more.

Timothy made a bomb fire that was not yet lit to make a signal to show that they needed to be rescued. Timothy told Phillip to keep an eye out and to listen up to see if they can spot an aircraft. Timothy laid out some vines to help guide Phillip to the fire so that he can light it up. They also spelled out the word HELP with rocks so that the aircraft can spot them and maybe rescue them. One aircraft passed by but it did not see them.

They eat lobster and fish. They would also eat fried seaweed. Timothy showed Phillip how to fish so that he would fish for food for all of them when Timothy did not have the time. Phillip would fish in a small pool where fish would swim in and out of it. It is pretty amazing that Phillip learned how to fish while he was blind. I could never learn how to do anything myself while I was blind.

Timothy made a hut around 8ft tall and 6ft wide. He made it out of palm fronds,wood, and vines. Phillip made a mat out of palm fronds so they can sleep on them. He made the hut on the highest hill. For safety reasons.

Timothy and Phillip were on the island for 48 days. Each day Timothy would drop a pebble in a can to tell how many days they were on the island. I think that is a pretty smart thing to do because if they did not do that, they wouldn't be able to tell how many days they were on the the island. When Timothy died, Phillip was on the island alone for 10 days.

I agree with Timothy to go to the cay because in the ocean there are sharks and since Phillip stood up on the raft, he fell in and Timothy had to dive in and save Phillip. The sharks could have eaten them, so it would be safer to stay on the cay.

Many days later they had lost all hope in seeking land when they finally see a seagull. The current takes the raft toward the small cay and Timothy does not know the name of the cay. Phillip says that he wants to stay on the raft but Timothy says it would be safer and better if they got to the cay so Phillip decides to stay on the cay until someone comes for the two of them.

Phillip, Timothy, and Stew Cat were still on the raft. All they had for food was a couple of bars of chocolate and a keg of water. They would eat flying fish raw and get the water from it. Phillip had a crack on the head and he was exceeding with pain. A day later Phillip's injury did not hurt anymore but Phillip had lost his sight. To me this would be something very scary and frightening because you are so used to seeing everything and now it went all away. I would be panicking and crying by now. Timothy said it was temporary but thought it wouldn't be

There was a war going on on the island of Curacao. It was WW2 and Phillip's mom wanted to move back to Virginia. Once the Germans blew up another tanker, Phillip's mom said that they are moving to Virginia the next day. Phillip's dad could not go because he had to help with the war. So, They went on a small freight tanker. Three nights later at three o'clock in the morning, they were torpedoed. The small tanker was sinking and everyone was evacuating the boat when Phillip was hit on the head and he blacked out. When he awakened, he had a bandage around his head and Timothy was sitting in front of him. They were on a raft in the middle of the sea. There was also a chef's cat named Stew Cat. Timothy saved Phillip from sinking on the boat

I really enjoyed the book The Cay.  I liked that Phillip really changed about what he thought about Timothy and how he acted around Timothy. Without Timothy, Phillip would've not survived the hurricane. Timothy has been a really great friend and guardian to Phillip. I could never survive alone on a deserted island. It is a small island with no fresh water, food, or clothes. If I was blind  I could never survive by myself. I would recommend this book to anyone because The Cay is breath taking, exciting, hard working, and caring. All of these things I think would be a good book to anyone. I also like that there are cliffhangers at the end of each chapter because it would make me want to read into the book more.
