What is the story The Cay by Theodore Taylor about?

Answer 1: It's about one boy and one man who gets stuck on a raft. They end up in a small island. They might survive on the Caribbean Sea. Answer 2: The Cay is about a boy named Phillip who is prejudiced and has strong feelings against black people. But later, he gets stuck in the middle of the sea, and his head injury has made him blind. His only companion to depend on is a black man named Timothy. As Timothy helps Phillip out, Phillip begins to bond to him and start to lose his feelings of prejudice toward black people. It says in the back of the book: Phillip is excited when the Germans invade the small island of Curacao. War has always been a game to him, and he's eager to glimpse it firsthand - until the freighter he and his mother are traveling on to the United States is torpedoed. When Phillip comes to, he is on a small raft in the middle of the sea. Besides Stew Cat, his only companion is an old West Indian, Timothy. Phillip remembers his mother's warning about black people: "They are different, and they live differently." By the time the castaways arrive on a small island, Phillip's head injury has made him blind and dependent on Timothy. This is the story of their struggle to survive, and of Phillip's effort to adjust to his blindness and to understand the dignified, wise, and loving old man who is his companion.
