PHILLIPS JOURNEY ESSAY BY ROBIN DHATT

This is how it started it was in the middle of ww11 in an island Curisale. It was in a city called Willemstad. Phillip and his mother where making their way back home because of the world war. They were separated when the s.s. hato was torpedoed.

While they were on the boat the boat was all of a sudden torpedoed by the Germans u-boats. Then Phillip was hurt and was knocked out then when he woke up there was a black man right next to him. Phillip is a little racist kid and he stares at him with a racist look.

Then while timothy and Phillip are on the raft, tragedy strikes, Phillip has lost his vision. Then after a couple of days timothy sees an island nearby. Then all of a sudden they know there could be a storm coming, so now they know that they have to get to work immediately.
But it is going to be awful hard when they don’t have any water. They also know that they should make some type of signs; also they go looking for food and water so they can survive. But then in the next couple of days timothy gets very sick and doesn’t know if he can survive. So then they have a couple of days off then timothy realizes that he must teach Phillip everything he can so he can survive.

Then after timothy feels a little better he teaches Phillip how to fish. Then they knew it was coming timothy says hurricane!!!!!!!! Phillip grabs some food and they run for shelter. Then the hurricane wind speed and power destroys the island. Next Phillip has realized that the hurricanes power has killed timothy.

Philip fells like he will die after timothy has died but as Phillip is wondering around the island in a couple of days Phillip has learned how to make black smoke, Phillip lights it on fire hopefully someone will see it. Then more luck happens someone sees the smoke.
He returns back home and he had operations on his eyes and then he regains his eyesight. He says that not all black people are bad and he talks about timothy and the things he did to help him.

The whole purpose of this story was to tell you that everyone can overcome their prejudices and fears to help you grow into adulthood.
