Chapter 12-13

 During Chapter 12-13 we were learning a lot about how Timothy and Phillip were surviving on this new island while Phillip was blind and Timothy started to become ill. 

How many days has Timothy and Phillip been on the cay?

- Timothy and Phillip now have been stuck on The Cay for 48 days. 


What does Phillip do to Timothy to help him when he is sick?

- Phillip ripped a piece of old clothing from his shirt he was wearing and dipped it in the cool water and placed the cloth on Timothy's forehead to cool it down. Phillip also was making sure Timothy was staying still.


Why is Phillip ready to climb the coconut tree?

- Phillip blurted out that he was ready to climb the coconut tree after five weeks. Timothy also shouted once Phillip had caught the coconuts from the tree  "D' palm harass us no more." Phillip is also ready enough to climb the tree because he wants to help Timothy due to his illness and gather more of the food. 


Why do you think Timothy is trying to teach Phillip these survival skills?

- I think Timothy is trying to teach Phillip these survival skills is because Timothy is getting more ill and will not be here for longer and needs to re-teach Phillip his skills he had before being blind. 


What do you think Phillip means by his comment, "are you still black?" 

- I think Phillip means by his comment is because his personality wasn't bad because he got to know more about Timothy instead on just judging a person before knowing who they truly are.
