I predict that there is going be lots of animals. like cats tigers monkeys lots of tropical fish and lots of other jungle animals. I also think that the animals will be trying to get rid of the people on the island. I think the animals will be able to camunacate with ech other. I think this book will be a lot like kenzukeys kingdom. by the back of the book and by the picture i really think the old man will be like the old man in (kenzukes meaning friends with all animals) kingdom.

Phillip had heard a lot about war. He said he was not scared. I think i would be extremely scared. Phillip and his dad and mother live on a island named Curacao. The war was all over the word exclaimed Phillip. Now it was in Curacao. Phillip said he remembers the the night of 1942 the nazis they attacked the big Lago Oil refinery on the island of Aruba. A island west of Curacao. Then they blew up 6 of Curacaos small lake tankers. The Germens arrived on submarines while Phillip was sleeping. The mom said it was to dangerous to stay her in Curacao. She said they should go back to Norfolk tell the danger was over. Then the father put in that there is more danger in the trip back but the mother was to scared of flying. So now Phillip might be going to Norfolk......

Phillip is mad at Timothy. Timothy wont let Phillip drink all the water. Phillip said he thinks that Timothy is saving it for himself but Phillip is very thirsty and felt as if he deserved a howl glass of water. Timothy wont let him. Timothy told Phillip they will soon be picked up. So Phillip complains about his thirst. He refaces to eat the raw fish that Timothy caught. He refaces to talk to old black man. I think Phillip dose not understand that Timothy is just being reasonable and understands that he said they will be picked up soon but soon could mean anything. Phillip dose not get that raw fish is all they have to eat. He is probably used to cooked foods. Not raw fish! Not only dose Phillip blame TImothy he blames his mother for setting him on this dreadful island. With a man and his cat and now himself. how will they stay alive? How will they manage to live? what if they never get off this awful island?

1. Why does Timothy tell Phillip to stay away from the edge of the raft? because if Phillip gets close to the edge phillip might fall off cus he is blind. Sense he cant see if he falls he will not be able to get back up. There are sharks in the water that they are surrounded by. Phillip and Timothy could get hurt.

2. How does Timothy attempt to signal an airplane?

3. After Timothy spots the Cay, what happens to Phillip that enrages Timothy? Timothy tells Phillip that he spots land. Phillip jumped up excitedly. Phillip fell of when the rafed tiped to the side. Timothy jumped in after Phillip. Phillip felt a thing tuch his leg. I think it was a shark! when they got back on the rafed Timothy was ferrous. He yelled at Phillip.

4. Why does Timothy decide to abandon the raft and go to the desolate island? Timothy said he was going to go to the island. Timothy said there was no people but there might be fresh barries. of fruit that grow frum trees. Or animals to hunt! Maby a spring of fresh water. But Phillip wanted to stay on the rafed he said Should we stay on the rafed i know my dad is looking for me i know he is. I just know it.

5. If it were up to you would you prefer to stay on the raft to go to the island? Yes cus i am scared of sharks! Sharks bight the snap there big jaws at you if you try to swim away they chase you and you will probably die. If you stay where you are they look at you for a while and then you will die. So i would stay on the rafed and not put a finger in that water.

1. What does Phillip do so that he can walk around the whole island without Timothy's help? Timothy uses vines to make a rope that go's all around the island. So Phillip can walk where he want's to without falling or loosing where he is. If Phillip hears a ship or plane he can follow the vine to the beach area and light a fire. hopfully Phillip and Timothy will someday make it of the island.

I perdicd that Phillip will get of the island. By makeing a big fire and a plane will come and pick him up. He will not know that the plane will be there but when the plane lands he will her a vose. i think that the plane will be a small plane and that only one person is in it.
