Themes

[Nina]

What do you think the theme of this novel was and why?

[Huda]

I think one of the themes in this book was courage. It took a lot of courage for Charlotte to decide to become one of the crew, stand up to the captain, brave the storm, and do and/or face a lot of other things.

As said by Huda....COURAGE
Charrotte
Obey until strength and timing is right
Unity
Reliability
Ambition
Good will
Effort

Good question! Makes you think about the overall aspect of the book ; )

I think it might have been the fact that friendship is hard to earn... and when mistakes are made, you lose trust...

Jaggery, as well as the rest of the crew lost a lot of her trust when they didn't stand up for her during trial.... Instead, they were afraid of what might happen to them, and not Charlotte, a fellow crew member... Or should I saw half crew member. Either way, she partially forgave them. This is proven, becaure at the end of the book it states, Charlotte returned to her true home; the ship. If she didn't trust the crew, she probable wouldn't have gone back on the voyage. They may have re-earned her trust, but not to full potential.
Also:
Stay strong in your beliefs and what you know is right. Y


Charlotte never gave up in finding the truth, she stood strong and even though she didn't do anything, she was willing to take the consequenes' for what she belived in.

Charlotte always stayed true to herself and others.
When times were tuff, she stood up. She proved herself worthy and capable of any challenge.

If Charlotte couldn't have done that... She wouldn't be the person she ever was, or is to us. She gave me courage, and made me feel like I could do anything!!

Well, I think it was more or less that she was on an adventure that originally was a trip gone wrong. It was cool that she was able to do all the things that she did, along with stand up to the captain, but the biggest point in the story is that she loved what she was doing. Courage, as many have already said, is a big part but not only because of the captain but also because she would give everything she had so that she could still be apart of the crew at the end of the book. Even her family (which didn't seem like a family) she would give up for the crew, so the crew was more like family than her own blood relatives.
