https://padlet.com/nstevenson6/yf274mnskkeo With your partner, write a possible theme to The Cay by Theodore Taylor. en-us 2018-02-15 17:47:26 UTC 2025-10-14 23:53:09 UTC hello@padlet.com 25cmongan https://padlet.com/nstevenson6/yf274mnskkeo/wish/232428913       The theme of The Cay is don't judge a book by it's cover.  Based on what we read on page 35 the protagonist said, ''My father had always taught me to address anyone I took  to  be an adult as ''mister'' but timothy didn't seem to be a mister. Besides, he was black.'' We chose this quote because Phillip was judging Timothy.
       Another theme is never give up.  Phillip didn't give up because in chapter 17 he fixed what the storm destroyed. Even though he didn't have eyes or Timothy he didn't give up. Phillip got Langosta even though Timothy told him not to he also built another hut. He went around the island to see if there where any resources he could use.'' To my amazement, I touched one on the first sweep and drove the sharp stick into him , swimming quickly to the surface. " We chose this quote because it shows Phillip being brave even though Timothy told him not to get Langosta]]> 2018-02-16 17:24:29 UTC https://padlet.com/nstevenson6/yf274mnskkeo/wish/232428913 25eshanley https://padlet.com/nstevenson6/yf274mnskkeo/wish/232428952 The theme of The Cay  is do not judge a book by it's cover. The story states, "Timothy, are you still black?" Phillip asked this because when he got to the island he wasn't blind and thought of Timothy as an ugly black man. After about 2 months   Phillip became blind and realized that Timothy wasn't a ugly black man, and was actually  a kind hard working man .Philip realized that it matters what it on the inside and not on the outside. Don't judge a book by it's cover means that you can't prejudge something.In the end, Phillip learned that you don't need to judge someone or something by how they look.]]> 2018-02-16 17:24:34 UTC https://padlet.com/nstevenson6/yf274mnskkeo/wish/232428952 25gpotter https://padlet.com/nstevenson6/yf274mnskkeo/wish/232429088 the theme of the cay is never judge a person by their skin color. According to the book  Phillip the protagonist asked " Timothy, are you still black?"  we chose this quote because Phillip thought that black people were not good ,yet Timothy was a great man  so Phillip thought he was white.  ]]> 2018-02-16 17:24:55 UTC https://padlet.com/nstevenson6/yf274mnskkeo/wish/232429088 25glegg https://padlet.com/nstevenson6/yf274mnskkeo/wish/232429285 The theme of The Cay is that it does not matter what is on the outside, but what matters is on the inside. On page 104 it said "Timothy, are you still black?" That shows that Phillip was becoming a dynamic character. He started to trust Timothy, and he was prejudice when he could see because he saw that Timothy was black. Why he asked if Timothy was still black was, for he saw the real Timothy not with his eyes, but with his heart. ]]> 2018-02-16 17:25:25 UTC https://padlet.com/nstevenson6/yf274mnskkeo/wish/232429285 25agonzalez https://padlet.com/nstevenson6/yf274mnskkeo/wish/232429357 The theme of The Cay is never give up.  Phillip, the protagonist,          started to work around the island more after Timothy died. In our version of "never give up" it means to keep trying and work hard at what you're doing. Another theme of The Cay is to be brave. Phillip was kind of brave at the beginning near the conflict of the book, and then he started getting braver towards the resolution of the book. Our evidence of him getting braver is that he jumped into the fishing hole (even though he was blind) to get lobster. ]]> 2018-02-16 17:25:37 UTC https://padlet.com/nstevenson6/yf274mnskkeo/wish/232429357 25mle https://padlet.com/nstevenson6/yf274mnskkeo/wish/232429499 The theme of The Cay is you are not helpless if you believe in yourself. In the story after Timothy dies, Phillip believes in himself that he  can survive all alone. In the book Phillip gets tired of eating sea grape leaves and fish, so he gained the courage to go fishing for langosta, which is a type of lobster. Phillip shouted, "Lobster tonight!"
Even though he was blind he still was courageous and got Stew Cat and himself food and shelter to survive. Phillip was a very prejudice character in the beginning, because he judged people of color before he knew them. In the end Phillip becomes a dynamic character. We think that the conflict is person vs. nature, we also think that Phillip was fearless and determined to get off the cay alive and with Stew Cat.]]> 2018-02-16 17:25:55 UTC https://padlet.com/nstevenson6/yf274mnskkeo/wish/232429499 25mle https://padlet.com/nstevenson6/yf274mnskkeo/wish/232429669 2018-02-16 17:26:18 UTC https://padlet.com/nstevenson6/yf274mnskkeo/wish/232429669 25casmith https://padlet.com/nstevenson6/yf274mnskkeo/wish/232429699 The theme of The Cay is don't ever give up. According to the text Phillip said''Timothy I'm blind.I can't see to work.'' Timothy and Phillip were on the raft for a long time and then Phillip went blind on the raft. Phillip was so excited that Timothy saw The Cay he fell overboard and Sharks started to swarm. Timothy saved Phillip from the sharks. They made it to the island safely. Phillip felt helpless then he realized that he can do more without sight. Timothy dies during a hurricane and Phillip is left alone with stew cat. Phillip and stew cat were rescued from  The Cay. Also Phillip reunites with his parents. He regains his sight, but has to wear glasses.]]> 2018-02-16 17:26:21 UTC https://padlet.com/nstevenson6/yf274mnskkeo/wish/232429699 25sschrempp https://padlet.com/nstevenson6/yf274mnskkeo/wish/232430088 The theme of The Cay is never judge a book by its cover.
In the story, Timothy said,"...Why b'feesh different color, or flower b'different color? I true don' know, Philleep, but I true tink beneath d'skin is all d' same."  Pg, 79. Timothy said this because, Timothy thinks skin color doesn't matter. The antagonist is the German U-boats because they bombed Curacao boats. The protagonist in the book  is Phillip and Timothy because they are the ones both stranded on the island trying to survive. Phillip is a dynamic character because he learns not to be prejudice when he was before. Timothy is a dynamic character because, Timothy changed beliefs when he thought stew cat was a jumbi because there were no air crafts in sight of their island (in the devils mouth).]]> 2018-02-16 17:27:14 UTC https://padlet.com/nstevenson6/yf274mnskkeo/wish/232430088 25pconn https://padlet.com/nstevenson6/yf274mnskkeo/wish/232430174 The theme of The Cay is nobody's helpless, you just have to adapt to a change, race doesn't matter, and don't judge a book by it's cover.  In this case Timothy is the book, and the cover is his skin. Based on what we read on page 117 it says, "I went back to sleep, and this time when I awakened, I heard a meow. Then I cried for a long time, holding Stew Cat tight.  Aside from him, I was blind and alone on a forgotten cay." 

          Timothy dies and it struck  Phillip because he was not prepared for it, so then he started to rebuild the hut, he made a cane, and he made a spear for getting Langosta. I think Phillip is a dynamic character, for his attitude has changed towards black people. Based on our evidence, we explained why we think the theme of The Cay is nobody's helpless, you just have to adapt to a change, race doesn't matter, and don't judge a book by its cover.   ]]> 2018-02-16 17:27:27 UTC https://padlet.com/nstevenson6/yf274mnskkeo/wish/232430174 25kkirking https://padlet.com/nstevenson6/yf274mnskkeo/wish/232434860 The theme of The Cay is don't judge someone on the outside because it matters whats on the inside. According to the text, Phillip was thinking in his head that Timothy's nose was flat, and his face was broad, and his face couldn't have been blacker, or his teeth whiter.   Phillip is prejudice  against Negros because he was never around the blacks. Phillip was stuck on a raft and didn't know where his mom was so  he didn't know how to react to Timothy. ]]> 2018-02-16 17:36:54 UTC https://padlet.com/nstevenson6/yf274mnskkeo/wish/232434860 https://padlet.com/nstevenson6/yf274mnskkeo/wish/1124631869 corvette corvette hop in the 🤬 jet jet like that. let me 🤬 you 🤬
