Question #3

Why was Charlotte the only one to defend Zachariah against the captain?  Would you have defended  him? Why or why not?

  1. I think Charlotte was the only one who defended Zachariah because Zachariah has always stuck out for her and been there for her like when he gave her the dirk for protection from danger

  3. Charlotte was the only one to defend Zachariah because he was one of the only people who liked and wanted to be friends with her for who she really was- a scared, lonely, young lady who had no idea what was going on I. Her life. She was also scared that Nother person would die that day, and, sadly, two did die. :<. I would have stood up and defended Zachariah because he is one of the only people whom I trust. He was always nice and caring, being as strong as he could and always helping out even though he was old. Zachariah did not deserve to die; he had a few more good years in him that could have been spent one a different, better boat. I miss Zachariah!!! :<

  6. Charlotte was the only one who tried to defend Zachariah because of the kindness and selflessness that he had shown to her. Another fact was that Zachariah was black, which singled him out for extreme punishments. I would not have defended Zachariah, because I would not want to incur the Captains wrath for trying to defend an innocent person.

  7. I would have defended Zachariah because he treated Charlotte good so he would have probably treated me good as well and he was kinda old ,he gave her the dirk for protection and was getting whipped in the back ,I mean who wouldn't do anything if someone was getting whipped in the back.

  8. She was the only one to defend her because Zachariah was the sticking up for her when she needed a helping hand. I would and would not have defended Zachariah because 1) I would be scared that Jaggery would do something harsh to me if I did, and 2) I would because if I were Charlotte, Zachariah would basically be my only friend on the ship.

  9. I agree with Erla, I think Charlotte would have defended anyone who got whipped, Also, I don't think Charlotte is used to all this "rudeness." I would have defended Zachariah because that is not right that he was chosen because he was the weakest of the crew. Also, again I agree with Erla because he probably was a nice guy.

  12. Charlotte was the only one who defended Zachariah because he was her true friend and she knew that he was a really nice friend who cared about her. Also, everyone was afraid to stand up to the captain since he commands them. Since Charlotte is a passenger, she knew she could not be harmed. I would've defended him because he was probably the one person I trusted most on the ship and I would not let him be punished for what he didn't do.

  13. I think that Charlotte was the only one to defend Zachariah because she was his friend and everyone else wanted to stand up to the Captain as a fear that he would kill them.

  14. I would have done the same thing for any of the crew because nobody deserves to be whipped. Charlotte was probably the only one to stand up for Zachariah because ever since she stepped foot aboard the Seahawk he was kind and trying to up her and keep her safe.

  15. I feel Charlotte was the only one to defend Zachariah because first it was one of the only person that Charlotte trusted. Zachariah treated people kindly he cared for them. I think I definitely would have fought for Zachariah because if he treated Charlotte well, and I think he would treat me well. So I would stand up for Zachariah, no matter what it took.

  16. Charlotte was the only one to defend Zach because everyone else was afraid of Captain Jaggery but she was not because he can nut hurt her in any way but he can hurt his crew. I would have defended Zach because he was the only one ho did not have a weapon when they rebelled.
