She protested clearly that he should stop and wasn’t hesitant to grab the whip and throw it overboard. She wasn’t scared to fight for what she wanted and she was determined to make the beating stop immediately. This clearly shows that she is fearless, aggressive, and firm. Another great example from the third part of the text is when Charlotte joins the crew! The whole crew never imagined in a million years that she could climb that whole mast, but she did! Most were supposed to die doing such a hard task, but she was just that driven to do it! She even got the whole crew on her side and convinced Jaggery to get on the crew’s side and made Charlotte an official member of the crew! In the fourth section of the book, it was even easier to understand the theme. Charlotte was accused of murdering HollyBrass, even though she did nothing. She said nothing but the truth, defending herself and giving clear proof that she was innocent. Captain Jaggery still found her guilty, but Charlotte made a plan with Zechariah and eventually, Captain Jaggery died! Which only meant one thing- Charlotte was voted the new

At first, Charlotte thought the Captain was pretty nice, considering he was the only put together person on the ship.

The book that caught my attention the most for this essay was Ourika, by Claire de Duras. It was about a black girl who was raised by Madame de B before the French Revolution had taken place.

About how Zachariah was still alive and living in the brig, and that Charlotte was going to break into the captains quarters and steel the key to the gun cabinet to take them and start another mutiny. If Charlotte knew who to trust and knew who everyone on the ship for who they really were, then she wouldn’t have almost died when the captain would have pushed her off the ship if he hadn't lost his footing and fell into the water. Overall, if Charlotte had known who Keetch really was, (her enemy) then she wouldn’t have told him and she would have been able to take the key and start the mutiny. However, if she still didn’t know who Keetch really was then the mutiny would be over within
