The Storm

The wind was howling and the rain was beating against the hut like bullets. Timothy yelled, "lets go to the palm" He guided me to the tree and held on to the rope for dear life. I could feel the the water brushing against my hair rappidly. I could feel Timothy's tender arms wraped around me. It was cool and damp, reminding me of the rain storms in Curacao. All of a sudden water flooded the area. I could hear Timothy yelp. I don't remember what happened after that becaus I passed out. As soon as I woke up I called Timothy. But there was no answer. I started walking, and stumbled over some thing hard but soft, it as Timothy. He had died. I have never been so lonely in my entire life.

Our Cay

It's already been a week since we've been on the Cay. It's nice here, I guess. I don't know what it looks like so I don't know if it's good or not. Timothy has made a rope for me so I could rome the island. But it doesn't make a difference. There is nothng to do here. It's so boring.

Timothy is the same, as usual. He goes and gets food so we can "feast". I always ask him if I could come, but he always says, "No Phillip, it's too dangerous". But, of course, he says it in that obnoxious acsent of his. Any way, we still always have a burning fire so we can signal the airplanes, if they ever come. I haven't heard an airplane in such a long time. All I hear is the sounds of the surf. I hope that an airplane will come and save us. I hope that the can cure my disability.

Shipwreck a La Timothy

When it was time to board the S.S Hatio, I was the first person to be on deck. It was not a very impressive ship. In fact it was small compared to the other boat I've crewed. When it was time to leave, I looked at Curacao in amazement. It was much smaller that I predicted it to be.

On one morning I was resting in my cramped cabin when suddenly the ship jerked back and forth. At that time I new that we got hit. I raced to the deck, but it was all in flames. I hurried to a life boat and released it. The boat plunged into the churning and murky water. I saw a young lad struggleing sort of neer me. I decided to take him aboard, he was unconsious but I think still alive.

A while later he woke up. He wasn't very nice to me. He also had a weird expression his face like he thought that I was different than him because I was black. He complained that his head hurt, after all I had seen him earlier hit his head on something. I used our pants and shirts to make ouselves a shelter from the sun. The next day or so he claimed tha he was blind. I decided to improvise and tell him that it would only last a few days. I hope that he bought it.

My Goals for Hebrew

I would like to excel in all of my classes this year but I really want to focus specificly on hebrew.The past few years I've had trouble in hebrew class with Morah Anat. This year I plan to excel in this class. I really want to master this class because I feel as a Jew that learning hebrew is important. I also want to learn this subject because I want to be able to speak and understand hebrew if I go to Israel. This year it will be my Bat Mitzvah, so it's time to get serious about hebrew. I feel like I haven't taken the time to be good in hebrew. Learning hebrew will also help me in other subjects like Chumash and Mishnah. Language comes naturaly to some people, but I am not that sort of person. I think that if I want to master hebrew I have to review every night and ask for extra help if I need it.
