Chapter 1-5 summary of the cay

For the past few weeks in English, we have been reading a book called the Cay and since we're in lockdown Miss Birtch has asked us to write a summary of what we remember from chapters 1-5.

There's a boy called Phillip and he lived on a small island called Curacao during WWll with his parents but when the nazi torpedoed ship on the coast his mother wanted to go back to Virginia. His father insisted it would be better to stay because they might torpedo the ship. His father eventually turned out to be right as their ship blew up and Phillip was separated from his mother. He found himself on a small raft with an old, black man called Timothy and a stew cat. Phillip had negative thoughts toward the black man because his mother was racist and he had just grew up that way. After a few days on the raft, Phillip had turned blind.
