The Cay

Me and the class are reading a book that is called The Cay. The Cay is about a war with three submarines around the island and no ships can’t go in or can’t go out but one ship was to big for them to blow up. So the ship took some of the people and they took Phillip and his mom and Timothy. Philip was blind from looking at the sun and Timothy was helping him and Timothy took him off the ship with him to help him but they got stranded on an island. It is taking place near Curacao and the Caribbean. It was during the war world 2.

I think of Phillip like he was a little mean to Timothy because he was a black man. Philip got mad because he was blind and he can’t do very many things like Timothy can like being able to see like the sand and the shelter that Timothy built and needs to be more nice to Timothy.

I think about Timothy like he was very nice to Phillip and he got food and water for them both so he was very nice to Phillip even if he want to he didn't have to.

This is my 6th grade battering ram everyone is making one for them selves.Mr.Monroe and the whole class has been studying about them for a little while.They were used by the Assyrian and the Babylonia a long time ago around 1000 b.c.They were fun to make,but they were kinda hard to make,while it lasted it was fun.
Battering rams were used by armies during ancient and medieval times to break holes or gaps in the walls or fortified gates of enemies. Some were mounted on wheels and covered with armored roofs for protection again arrows,spears,and other projectiles.The battering ram was replaced by siege cannons in the 1400s.
