    movie starts on the boat and in the book it starts on the island where this line is. That’s why I like the book better than the movie in The Cay by Theodore Taylor. When on the raft for the movie it skips a part of the story which makes Phillip and Timothy closer the part of the book when Phillip falls into the water and gets chased by sharks.

    “utmost Tranquility” and in stark contrast to Moll’s former “Life of Pleasure”‚ yet this relationship too is sustained by Moll’s pursuit of her interest. Firstly we can distinguish a reference to God: “As Covernousness is the Root of all Evil” from Timothy 6:10: “For the love of money is the root of all evil: which while some coveted after‚ they have erred from the faith‚ and pierced themselves through with many sorrows”.
