The Cay Chapters 15-16

Timothy died after the storm.

Timothy protected Phillip from the storm by tying both of them to a palm tree, with Timothy positioned behind Phillip. This arrangement would provide additional protection for Phillip, as Timothy would be shielding him from the strong winds and debris. Tying themselves to the palm tree would also prevent them from being swept away by the storm.

Timothy's backside was cut and bleeding from the sand and sea grape that hit him during the storm. This suggests that he was injured by the impact of the sand and sea grape, causing cuts and bleeding on his backside.

The bird attacked Phillip because he accidentally stepped on the nest and broke one of the eggs. This is a common behavior in birds, as they are protective of their nests and offspring. The bird likely saw Phillip as a threat and reacted defensively to protect its eggs.

Phillip and Timothy had to leave the hut because it blew away. This suggests that the hut was not stable or secure, possibly due to strong winds or other environmental factors. As a result, they were forced to leave for their safety and find alternative shelter.

Phillip found one coconut to eat.

The correct answer is "after dark" because it implies that the hurricane hit during the nighttime, after the sun had set. This suggests that the event occurred late in the day or in the evening when it was already dark outside.

The correct answer is "to Phillip's head." This implies that the ocean rose to the level of Phillip's head, indicating a significant increase in water level.
