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
