Re: Sarah's role
But I think for William, it was Sarah. He truly believed her when she said she saw the bear, and I think he was hanging on in the end not only for Myra, but for Sarah as well.

I totally agree. She was an inspiration to everything one around her. Her story has inspired the stranded crew. I think she served as a source of hope.briellejee wrote: ↑05 Apr 2019, 03:32 For me, it was Sarah's personality that was holding the crew together. I mean, everyone has their fair share of giving up and losing sanity, but Sarah kept her feet on the ground and try to give strength in the midst of the impossible.

For those stranded, Sarah's story was definitely important. For some, I think they found strength in it. Others I think were just entertained. So Sarah and William were both important in keeping morale up.

This is a difficult question but I believe it will depend on the point of view we see it from. First, it was William who narrated the story. Without him, the others would have never heard about Sarah. Secondly, the story was mainly about Sarah. So, Sarah becomes important too. I am convinced that both Sarah and William played a great role.Charlyt wrote: ↑02 Apr 2019, 00:04 How important was Sarah as a characterer to the other people around her? She was the youngest and yet she was the most positive person and believed William was still alive.
In your opinion, was it William or Sarah (through William's stories) that was the source of strength and sanity for the crew that was stranded on the island to survive?

William's potrayal of Sarah was what kept the crew active in their argument of the impossibility of Sarah. So Sarah was vital.Charlyt wrote: ↑02 Apr 2019, 00:04 How important was Sarah as a characterer to the other people around her?

This is very true. Sarah never failed William in this. Even when Myra seemed to have given up hope, Sarah maintained a firm believe that William would be found alive. I had not seen it this way. It is the best way to view this.Eclecticmama wrote: ↑13 Apr 2019, 12:08 For the crew, it was definitely William. They all looked up to him, even Randall to a degree. They wanted him to tell his tale, to completion, to keep their minds off of being stranded on the rocky coast.
But I think for William, it was Sarah. He truly believed her when she said she saw the bear, and I think he was hanging on in the end not only for Myra, but for Sarah as well.

I am still trying to understand how she could maintain such a strong and firm belief that William was still alive despite the number of those who believed otherwise. There must be a role of this in William's survival.AKShanmar12 wrote: ↑04 Apr 2019, 15:00 Sarah represents the mysticism and strength of the native traditions and beliefs with the purity of a child's understanding. She is a foil to the confusion, doubt, and tainted morals of the adults around her.

Exactly. The crew would not know about Sarah if not for William.

Yes, it was Sarah's faith that made Myra take the journey in search of William.Ferdinand_otieno wrote: ↑02 Apr 2019, 04:21 Sarah had that positive determination that William was okay and sometimes, I argued that it was forsight or intuition. She helped Myra believe that she might see her father again.

Very well put. Sarah was the only one who was sure that William was alive.
