BY: Theodore Taylor

The year is 1942 – World War II is raging. Eleven-year-old Philip Enright lives on the island of Curaçao, in the Dutch West Indies.

There is also Timothy, an old West Indian black man who knows a lot about survival, but is very different from Phillip.

Prejudice still exists in this time. When one is prejudice, they make a firm judgement of someone before they get to know the person

Phillip is prejudiced against black people… But he is now dependent on Timothy for survival. He faces an inner conflict: How should he treat Timothy? Can he learn to trust him? Even like him?

Both characters experience external conflict. Struggling for survival, they have conflict with nature and their circumstances.

Timothy and Phillip are trapped on a tiny island. It is remote and uninhabited. There is little food or water. Their chances for rescue are SLIM.

Can Timothy and Phillip survive? How will their relationship develop as they live together on the island? What changes might take place in Phillip?

Cays – also called keys – are small low islands

Cays develop on the edge of coral reefs.  Sand, coral, and debris fills up  Birds drop seeds  Plants grow from seeds  Plants make the cay more stable

Most cays only rise 5 to 10 feet above the level of high tide. Even a fairly large cay can be destroyed by a hurricane or other severe storm.

Phillip and Timothy end up on a cay in the West Indies – - A chain of islands located between the Caribbean and the Atlantic Ocean.

The West Indies includes Cuba, Jamaica, Haiti, Puerto Rico, Curaçao, the Bahamas, Grenada, and the Virgin Islands, plus many smaller islands.

Originally, American Indians inhabited the West Indies…. After Christopher Columbus discovered them in 1492, various European countries started to take them over.

Today, most of the islands and island groups in the West Indies are independent nations. Jamaica Grenada The Bahamas

However, some are still controlled by other countries, such as the United Kingdom, the Netherlands, and the United States.

Dialect: A form of language used in a certain geographic region; it is distinguished from the standard form of language by pronunciation, grammar, and/or vocabulary “Do not eben look at d’wattah. D’glare is bad too.” - Timothy

U-boats, the submarines used by Germany in World War II, were among the most feared weapons of the war.

German U-boats: Weighed over 500 to 700 tons Could travel very fast underwater The torpedoes on these submarines: Could crack the metal in a ships hull Could follow the noise of a propeller in order to hit the target

born June 23, 1921 in North Carolina during the Depression his father left the family to find a job Taylor sold candy, scrap metal, and delivered papers to help the family began writing career for a newspaper at age 13 – sports for local high schools

also became member of the naval reserve on tour of duty during Korean War, spent time on Caribbean island – inspired setting for The Cay His life experiences and travels contributed to his writing “I find it hard to write about what I have not seen or in some way experienced.”

Theodore Taylor’s Book Dedication: To Dr. King’s dream which can only come true if the very young know and understand

“I have a dream that one day this nation will rise up and live out the true meaning of its creed, ‘We hold these truths self evident, that all men are created equal.’…I have a dream that my four little children will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by the color of their skin, but by the content of their character.” An excerpt from Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.’s “I have a dream…” Speech
