DOK 3 Reflection

Chapter 1: If there was an enemy U-boat

out there, I wanted to see it and join the
people shaking a fist at it.
Page 10

The author is trying to tell us that the

theme is the germans are planning an
unforgettable vengeful attack on his island.
He wants to be more apart of this attack
with the germans by saying he wants to
join shaking a fist. This is important
because it shows Phillip is not very excited
about the germans attacking. Also he was
wants to see what the germans defense is
like when he wants to see the U boat.

Chapter 2: I stayed out on the deck for a

long time, sitting by the lifeboat, looking
back at Curacao, feeling lonely and sad.
FInally, my mother said, Come inside now.
Page 27

The author is telling us that Phillips

mother is curiously rethinking moving back
while having a treacherous argument with
Phillips father. When making a decision to
leave, she feels its not safe for Phillip with
the Germans around. This is important
because they will soon enter a bout which
will take them out of the city. Also this can
tell you information how Phillip ends up on
the Cay.

Chapter 3: We were torpedoed at about

three oclock in the morning on April 6,
1942, two days after leaving Panama.
Page 28

A torpedo hit the ship that his mother and

Phillip were on. They had already left
Panama with out Phillips father. They will
leave the ship and Phillip will end up with
Timothy. The author wants to tell you not
to worry in this chapter.

Chapter 4: Im blind, Im blind.

Phillip becomes blind because he was

looking at the sun too much. Timothy put a
cloth over his eyes and told him to rest and
he would take it off later. When Timothy
took the cloth off, Phillip couldnt see
anything and he cried out im blind, im
blind. This is an important quote because it
describes how Philip became blind.

Chapter 5: The faint drone of the aircraft

seemed closer now.
Page 48

An aircraft flies above Timothy and Phillip.

The author wants to tell you to stay
hopeful even though the aircraft passes
them. They have to make plans to find a
way that can notify that people they are
staying there. This quote is important
because it describes Phillip using his
hearing while he is blind. ge sound of the
plane gets closer but goes pass them
unfortunately.

Chapter 6: Yes, dislan! Dere tis. . .

Page 53

Timothy and Phillip find an island but there

is no people. It is surrounded by coral reefs
and a lot of sharks. The other wants to tell
us to not give up because they found
another island that could have a little more
hope of being found. They make a stop on
this island and build a hut. The quote
represents Timothy spotting the island and
saying if it is close because Phillip is blind
and cant see it.

Chapter 7: Then no ships will pass even

close to us. Not even schooners! Were
trapped here!
Page 61

They are starting to loose hope in being

found. The author wants to tell us they are
starting to panic. This quote is important
because it proves a point that schooners
wont pass. It also gives a hint that they
will be staying there for a little bit because
they build a hut and get settled.

Chapter 8: Wid drock, say help.

Page 68

Timothy and Phillip spell out help so if

someone was to fly over, they can see that
they are staying there and help them.
Phillip also learns more about Timothy like
his age and that he cant spell. I think the
author wants to represent teamwork
because Phillip helped Timothy spell while
Timothy laid out the letters. This quote is
important because it shows that they are
starting to have hope of getting found with
all their different techniques and symbols.
