The Cay Chapters 9 - 10 Activity 1 Weaving Timothy insists that Phillip help with the weaving even though he is blind. He does this so Phillip won't give up on life and become completely dependent on Timothy. Weaving a pot holder like the one above may give you a feel for what Phillip went through weaving the mats.

Carnival is one of the most exciting festivals in South America.
Carnival begins the Saturday before Lent and lasts until the following Tuesday. During this four day celebration in late February or early March many activities take place. They include parades, music, dancing, fireworks, and masquerades, and theme parties. The theme usually is from a part of history or culture like the Portuguese navigators who discovered Brazil or the Indians of the Amazon region. The theme is shown through floats, costumes, and songs.
