The Cay

The Cay is a book written by Theodore Taylor it is about a young boy called Phillip and a black man called Timothy. This is a pretty old book so it has racism because Phillips mum doesn't really like black people so phillip is the same really. They are floating on a raft in the middle of the Caribbean eventually they land on a small cay with barely any food and only a keg of water. They have been there for at least a month as timothy gets weaker and weaker. Timothy has been catching lobster for food most nights but then a cyclone hits and timothy shields Phillip but dies protecting Phillip.In my opinion racism is not okay because this story shows how your colour doesn't matter

Camp was Awesome!!!!!!!!!!!!!

We went on the Thursday for a night. we had a campfire and roasted different things Ben.R was toasting cut up french stick which surprisingly tasted quite good but he used about 15 pieces we also had Leigh Stevens talk to us about the marine reserve which was interesting he talked about the estuary the next day after sleeping with a wet tent and with people saying toms in hospital we got up ready to walk up peppin island which wasn't that hard it really was quite fun it took about one hour and a quarter we had wraps up their but me and my friend Max wraps were getting massacred by sandflys which was extremly annoying but we were walking in about 15 minutes it didnt take that long for us to get down and as soon as we got to camp we left really
