=The Cay= Reviewed by Sabrina Palyo

 //[|The Cay] // // By,  [|Theodore Taylor] // The book “**//The Cay//**” was a very interesting book. It tells exactly what is happening and how it’s happening. You will want to read this book over and over once you first read it, I'm sure I am!

The Characters in //**"The Cay"**// were: Timothy, Phillip //**(or as Timothy called him Phe-leep)**//**,** and Stew Cat. Stew Cat made the plot more interesting by telling us how brave a cat can be and how helpful they can be. Timothy helped me understand the plot and theme better by how strong and courageous he is, but tword the end because Timothy dies, Phillip has to bury him after a huge storm comes upon the cay. Phillip ties the whole story together on how just one blind boy can survive alone only with a cat, and little supplies by his side. Each character has a very special personality which makes the story great.

The Setting was great! It was mainly on a lovely cay. A [|cay] is a small island in the middle of the sea. It has palm trees full of [|coconuts], and all sorts of other food for Timothy, Phillip, and Stew Cat to survive, but it still has [|sharks], [|sea urchins] ,and other sea creatures surrounding them.

The Theme of “**//The Cay//**” was awesome, it is one man, one boy, and one cat trying to survive on an island. Phillip, Timothy, and Stew Cat have stayed on this island for over 60 days.

The Plot of the story was great! They really expressed what the characters were doing. Heres what the plot was, **Rising Action:** Timothy, Stew Cat, and Phillip are stuck in the middle of the sea on a raft surrounded by sharks. **Climax:** Phillip, Stew Cat, and Timothy find a small island called a cay, the name of the sea around them was "Devils Mouth". **Resolution:** Stew Cat and Phillip are rescued and brought back home to Phillip’s mom, Grace.

As you can see the book “**//The Cay//**” is very interesting and tells exactly what is happening. The plot, theme, and setting really tie the story together. If I were you, I would read this book again once you read it the first time. You'll love this book, I would strongly recommend reading it.
