Phillip's father's job is the oil refinary because they had many supplies of oil a curacao.
He lived in Curacao, in the Caribbean. The World War (II) came to the island close and Phillip was sent away from the war. His ship was torpedoed and he got stranded on a Cay with a Black Person that could not spell. Phillip could not see either. They used their survival skills together and Phillip was rescued. Tymothy (the black man) died protecting Phillip from the storm.
Henrik is not in the movie, and neither is Phillip's father. The book begins in Curacao, whereas the movie begins on the ship. In the book, Timothy and Phillip stay on the cay for months, but in the movie, only fro days. In the book, Timothy attempts to get rid of stew cat, but not in the book. There are several more differences.
In the book "The Cay" by Theodore Taylor, Phillip says "I want to be your friend" on page 18.
Actually, Phillip only went on the boat with his mother. His father stayed back to help with the war. Phillip and his mother went on the ship to get away from the war in Curacao.
They were floating on a makeshift raft which drifted to the island. They decided to stay there and look for help.
