My favorite character in The Cay is Timothy.Timothy put a lot of adventure in the book. For example, he saved Philip from the sharks and on the boat when the topedoe hit their boat
I would definitely recommend this book to a friend. I loved this book because of the excitement and adventure. I thought the hurricane and shark parts were the most exciting. I never knew if Philip was going to get eaten or if he would be swept away by the hurricane.
This book does remind me of one of my favorite movies. The movie is "Nim's Island". In both the book and movie, the characters are on an island and are learning how to survive.
The Cay did remind me of the movie Castaway. In Castaway the character struggled for food, water, and to make fire while Phillip struggled with blindness. My favorite part of The Cay happened when birds were attacking Phillip and Stew Cat jumped on to Phillip’s back to protect him. I would recommend because I have read it several times and I enjoyed it every time. I thought the main point was about race because Phillip’s mother had always hated blacks while Phillip has come to know and love blacks especially Timothy.
Phillip is my favorite character because he is courageous and brave being stranded on an island and survive. Phillip being stranded on an island reminded me of the book "Hatchet" because they were in the same situation being stranded with limited supplies. And yes I would recommend this to a friend because it is a very good story with an action adventure genre.
i like the book it reminds me of Number the Stars
My favorite part is when the hurricane comes. Timothy shows his friendship and strength to protect Phillip. Timothy is my favorite character. He is just an old man ,but still has the strength to build shelter and find food. This book reminds me of Number the stars. The main characters in both books are young kids that have to move away because of war. I would recommend this book to my friends that like adventure and action.
My favorite character would need to be Timothy. he is my favorite because he taught Phillip (Phil-eep) how to survive blind on the cay. Also, he risked his life to save him from the sharks and from the storm. I was so sad when he died. I do have to say it did make Phillip a lot cooler after Timothy died because he had to survive alone, but his death was still sad. this book reminded me of Hatchet because brian is lost and has to survive on his own until somebody finds him. My favorite part is when Timothy is teaching Phillip how to make their bed mats when he is blind because that made Phillip more independent because he is doing stuff on his own. I would recommend this book to anyone who likes action because this book has a lot of that in it.
My favorite character would have to be Phillip.I chose him because he showed bravery when he had to do everything for himself when Timothy died.For example, he caught and cooked food for him and Stew Cat, made fires, while he was blind.Yes, I would recommend this book because it is very exciting and interesting.It made want to keep reading.
The Cay reminds me of Island of the Blue Dolphins because the main characters in both books have to survive on an island. In Island of the Blue Dolphins,a girl has to survive on an island by herself. In the Cay, Timothy and Phillip have to survive together on a cay except when Timothy died and it was only Phillip on the cay.
My favorite character in this book is Timothy because he is like the protector of Phillip.He knew what to do when Phillip became blind,and he protected Phillip from the sharks.I would recommend this book to people who love adventures because this book has a exciting adventure on a raft!

My favorite character in The Cay has to be Timothy because he is really smart and he's like the protector of Phillip.
i would tell someone who likes the army adventures about this book.
I thought The Cay was a great book. I have read it before but the second time was even better. My favorite part was when Philip became blind. I thought this put lots of questions and suspense on my mind. My favorite charecter is Timothy, because to me he seems very brave risking his life for Philip.I don't think I have ever read a book quite like this. I would highly recomend others reading this book because I thought it was a good quality book.
My favorite part of the book was when Timothy was making things usable for, the blind, Phillip. Ex. Timothy was making a rope for Phillip that lead him around the island.
My favorite character in the Cay is Timothy he risked his life for Phillip during the storm.He also taught Phillip how to walk across the island,and made him some fishing equipment for him because he was blind.
I would recommend this book because it is exciting and action packed and was a great book
My favorite part of the book was when they see the cay, because they have somewhere to take more shelter. The first part of this book reminded me of Waterworld, because they are just out there in the water. I would recommend this book, because I really enjoyed it.
The Cay had a bunch of great parts but my favorite part was when the tornado hit the cay. I thought it was cool how they survived the tornado. This book reminded me of Hatchet because both boys had been standed with no way out. They both did make it out, but I liked the parts about how it told how they survived. Out of the two boys, I liked Phillip better. In The Cay, Phillip is my favorite charactor. He just brought action into the book. I would reommend this book to a friend. It was a great book overall>
My favorite part of the book was when Phillip learned how to survive by himself and fish by himself. This shows that he could do lots of things and was a good person. Timothy was my favorite character in the book because helped Phillip and taught him how to do stuff when he was blind. It reminds me of a book called Number the Stars. The story is the same situation. The girls country is under attack by the Nazis and she had to escape Denmark. I would recommend this book to a friend because it is a really good book and you are always wondering what happens next.
I would recommend thus book to someone because it is a good book to read and it also makes you think a lot.
My favorite part of the book was when Philip was blinded because even though Timothy was black he Philip still had to trust him because he was blind.
My favorite part about the book was when Philip finally got saved and were brought back to good health.
My favorite character in the book is Philip. I like Philip because he was perservering and very trusting of his friend Timothy. If Philip did not have those two character traits he probably wouldn't have survived as long as he did.
I would recommend this book because of the lessons it teaches. To me the most important lesson it teaches is friendship.
I wouldn't recomend this book because it is only on one subject.
My favorite part in the book is when the hurricane came. Timothy had already thought to teach Phillip to survive by himself,so after the hurricane, he knew what to do. Timothy had put the things he needed in places that he would find them. Timothy really showed his frienship by doing all of that for him.
My favorite character is Timothy because he really helped Phillip when he became blind, got them ready for the storm, and taught Phillip how to live without him in case he died. I think it's so great how Phillip could know that well where things were, since he was blind.
