In the story “The True Confessions of Charlotte Doyle with connections” the main idea of this story so far that I read is that they are going on a boat ride with a family.Mr.Grummage was a y’all man who wore a black frock coat with a stove pipe hat that added to his considerable height. The person that is telling the story asked a lot of questions and obviously had a relationship with Mr.Grummage and they were some what family or real close friends.We can infer that she is a child because in the first chapter she stated that she wanted to say goodbye to her chaperone and she kept saying she had to say good. Some strange man was listening to their conversation and heard that the captain name was Jaggery. The man was scared of the captain because

About how Zachariah was still alive and living in the brig, and that Charlotte was going to break into the captains quarters and steel the key to the gun cabinet to take them and start another mutiny. If Charlotte knew who to trust and knew who everyone on the ship for who they really were, then she wouldn’t have almost died when the captain would have pushed her off the ship if he hadn't lost his footing and fell into the water. Overall, if Charlotte had known who Keetch really was, (her enemy) then she wouldn’t have told him and she would have been able to take the key and start the mutiny. However, if she still didn’t know who Keetch really was then the mutiny would be over within

In Avi’s The True Confessions of Charlotte Doyle, Zachariah, an old black man and the cook on the Seahawk, tells Charlotte, “A sailor chooses the wind that takes the ship from safe port…but winds have a mind of their own”. These wise words prove true in both literal and more symbolic ways. In The True Confessions of Charlotte Doyle by Avi, Charlotte Doyle is a young student from a well-to-do family who finds herself on a ship full of men and a mysterious captain who seems to be the right person to stick with but proves himself not to be. Charlotte must find her own wind to blow her ship when everything seems to fall apart for her on the ship.

A captain is an individual who takes leadership and responsibility in a vessel. People think that a captain can just be found in large ships; however, captains are necessary in any kind of boat, ship, or yacht. Therefore, in the story Crane gives the authority to the captain. The captain is the one in charge in the boat and the one that gives directions to the other three men. Throughout the story we can see that the other three men respected the captain and his decisions. If the three men wanted to something, they would first consulted with the captain before doing it. After the sinking of the boat, the captain was really devastated because it was his responsibility and he fail. In the beginning of the story Cranes defines the captain very sad and with the impotence of not being able to do anything. (Crane, page

The main character of this book is a thirteen-year-old girl named Charlotte Doyle. She is caring, brave, curious, and helpful. She is caring because when she hit Captain Jaggery, she didn’t mean to hit him, so she apologized because she knew that she made a mistake. Charlotte is brave because she was able to stand up for herself and Zachariah when getting hurt, she had the guts to grab the whip. I think that wanting to just get home, working through the uncomfort, or just getting off the ship is what motivates her. Yes, Charlotte Doyle is well developed by the author. He portrayed her as young, but brave girl who can take care of herself in situation, yet who is caring and kind-hearted. I agree with the way the character handled events

Charlotte, the main character, was expecting two other families, but they could not make it. Charlotte obviously dislikes having to be the only girl on the ship. For example, on page 17 in the text, it states, “ But . . . but that would be all men, Mr. Grummage! And . . . I am a girl. It would be wrong!” This shows that Charlotte really doesn't want to be the only girl on the ship which makes her not want to go on the ship. Then she decides that she needs to take a risk. I know this because in the text on page 18 it states, “ With Mr. Grummage leading the way I stepped finally, hesitantly,

Doyle's A Scandal in Bohemia follows the story of the famous detective Sherlock Holmes on his adventures to retrieve a disgraceful photograph of Irene Adler and the King of Bohemia. The king, now engaged to a different woman, is fearful that Adler may use the photo as blackmail. In A Scandal in Bohemia, the apparent role of women is minuscule. The only female emphasis is on one woman, who is the object of Holmes' detective inquiries. In A Scandal in Bohemia, society places women at a subordinate level, pushing them to the background and therefore never allowing the reader to fully understand their character.

The captain seems that he has wisdom. He shows that he takes in both the good and bad of everything. Especially, being stuck on a boat in the Pacific ocean. He

The Captain is introduced into the novella as a young seaman, who was chosen to be the captain of a sailing vessel on its voyage back home. The young captain displays himself as an experienced sailor yet is filled with much self-doubt as he is the second youngest man on the ship, and has little leadership experience, especially as a captain. The captain’s self-doubt is easily manipulated by many individuals on the boat when he first gains command. The captain's first impression of inexperience as a leader is shown when he decides to perform anchor watch for the first half of the night. "I felt painfully that I –a stranger–was doing something unusual when I directed him to let all hands turn in without setting an anchor watch."(page 652) The captain
