For starters, she works her full hours. When she became part of the crew, she was working on hand and foot to fill in for Zachariah. Page 140 states, “To work meant to live. And work we did for upwards of three hours. Then we were released.” Charlotte says when she becomes part of the crew. In addition, Charlotte worked very hard in the storm. When the hurricane hit, Charlotte was ready to help the Seahawk survive the storm. She worked on the main mast when it was about to go down. She even cut off her own hair, thirteen years of locks gone! When she reached the spot that she needed to fix on the mast, the Seahawk plunged down into the salty waters.

Throughout the story, the narrator continues to mention this image of him standing “[with] open arms” on a “cobbled street” in “a smoldering city” where he sees himself saving “a bundle of precious things [thrown] from a third-floor European window” that is Charlotte (189). The image of the “smoldering city” suggests an unfolding of some sort of disaster on a grand scale, perhaps a volcanic eruption or a war. The emphasis on the medieval aspects of the city, the “European window” and “cobbled streets” adds a fantastical sense to this image, suggesting that narrator is both exaggerating and romanticizing this relationship. Describing Charlotte as “a bundle of precious things” he happens to save, the narrator implies that he sees Charlotte as something special that only he can save because he is the person in the right place and time with “arms open” – accepting and willing to tolerate her faults. In introspection, the narrator claims that this vision is perhaps the result of having “watched too many films” (189), and suggests that he may have imagined himself of a hero of sorts who can save Charlotte from her eccentricities and anti-social behaviors.

Cathy Ames has been criticized because she is completely evil. It has expressed throughout the novel that Cathy is inhuman. She has no emotion, no feelings, and no good in her.

When Charlotte is on the docks in Liverpool, before the commencement of her journey, she was dressed in “full skirts, high button shoes, and you may be sure, white gloves” (1). This expresses her overdressed fashion that is limiting her abilities. Shortly after, when Charlotte is boarding the Seahawk, she states that, “Surely, I mustn't travel alone!” (14). This shows how she must rely on others, more specifically her father, to protect her from any possible harm.
The conflict was between the narrator and herself. She knew the girl was not good for her but she did not care and wanted her anyways. She could deal with all of her annoying qualities because she loved the way she always looked. The other conflict I saw was Charlotte cheated on both the narrator and the boyfriend, Maurice.
As Avi writes on page 26, “Nausea choked me.” If Charlotte had gotten very sick and there was no doctor, she could have died. If she did not feel better, the whole trip would have been ruined for her because she would have been very miserable. Getting sick is bad, but getting sick while alone on a boat is even worse.
