The story is set during World War II, when
German submarines were still a threat to ships on the sea. Phillip and his mother are on a ship when it is torpedoed by a German submarine. When Phillip emerges from the disaster he is blind, and sharing a life raft with an old black sailor named Timothy. At first Phillip’s racist attitude prevents him from truly appreciating Timothy, but when they are cast up on a barren island they must work together to survive. Phillip comes to appreciate Timothy as they learn more about each other, and as Phillip realizes what an extraordinary person Timothy really is.“The Cay” is a study of contrasts. Although it portrays an inexperienced white Phillip, and the kind and wise black Timothy, its real message is that beneath the skin we are really all the same. I appreciated the moving story and serious message presented in “The Cay.”

Is there any way you can remove people from that service?

With havin so much content do you ever run into any issues of plagorism or copyright violation?
My site has a lot of exclusive content I've either written myself or outsourced but it looks like a lot of it is popping it up all over the internet without my agreement. Do you know any techniques to help reduce content from being ripped off? I'd truly appreciate it.

Sometimes when crocheting a pattern, a video can be much more helpful than reading the instructions.
The intent was for PDF files to provide a way to distribute documents electronically and
have them display or print consistently regardless of the
type of computer system. You also need to know how you are going to publish your book and you have
