A Short Summary of The Cay
A SHORT SUMMARY OF THE CAY
The story, The Cay, by Theodore Taylor is a wonderful story about Phillip Enright, an eleven year old boy who lives on the island of Curacao in 1942. Curacao isn’t safe at the time because there are German U-boats surrounding the island on three different sides. The U-boats have actually already attacked the big Lago oil refinery on the island of Aruba. Everybody knew that the U-boats were going to try to attack the oil refinery on Curacao. The Enrights had moved to Curacao because Mr. Enright, Phillip’s father, was an expert in oil refineries and wanted to help defend the island.
Later in the story Mrs. Enright wants to go back to Virginia.
