I researched Providence and it goes with the story because it means divine guidence or care, and in Providence Charlotte is guided to go back to the ship and be the captain. I also researched the word benevolent and that goes to the story because It means having the desire to do good, and the street is called benevolent I think because her family what her to do good things to become a nice young lady. At the end of the story I was surprised that Charlotte decided to leave and go sail to great places.

Charlote and Zachariah piece together that Captain Jaggery was the only one other than Zachariah and Mr. Hollybrass that was on deck. Also Zachariah said that he didn't do it, and of course Mr. Hollybrass didn't kill himself. All those facts lead up to be that Jaggery should have been the one to kill Mr. Hollybrass. Don't lie Captain Jaggery!!!!!!!!

Captian Jaggery uses Charlotte's identity to build his case by not letting her talk during the trial, and by interrupting her to make her give up, and to come to his side. Captain Jaggery also accused her of dropping the dirk and killing Mr. Hollybrass. He also said that since Mr. Hollybrass was holding her handkerchief she had to have done it. In the book it said that Charlotte the whole time was on the mast cutting the sails, so that meant that she couldn't have done it.

Charlotte's realizes and learns that justice is going to be Captain Jaggery putting her on trial to see if the crew members really do trust her and are her friends. She believes it's Zachariah because he and Jaggery were the only ones who know where she had kept her dirk, and also where her luggage was. I agree with Charlotte because Zachariah could have snook out of the brig and took the knife, and preteneded to be someone and murdered Mr. Hollybrass. Otherwise it might have been the Captain.

Charlotte should say that they have no proof, and that Hollybrass could have killed himself to make Charlotte be committed to murder. Who knows Hollybrass could have took Charlotte's handkerchief and pretended to kill himself. The captain has outsmarted her by committing her for killing Hollybrass and putting her on trail.

For my next post I will list problems and if solutions.

• All the porters run off of the fear of Captain Jaggery; Charlotte is brave and hops on board.
• Charlotte has to either befriend Captian Jaggery, or Zachariah; Charlotte chooses Captain Jaggery
• Charlotte finds out about the round robin, she either tells or she doesn't; she tells the captian about the plan.
• Charlotte tries to save Zachariah from his whipping; she whipes Captain in the face.
• Charlotte tries to be nice and friendly with the crew; they let her bee part of the crew, but the captain calls her Mister Doyle instead of Miss Doyle.
• The captain makes her work hard; her hands get rough and sore.

Charlotte in some ways is a threat to Captain Jaggery, by joining the crew and try to overpower him in some ways. Another is that if the captain is bad then Jaggery might not get payed, so the captain needs to be careful of maybe what Charlotte would tell her father, or write in her journal. She reminds him by telling him that she can do what she wants to do, and when she signs on to be a crew member. The captain wants to remind her tell she is in the captain's orders, and she can work hard.

In chapter eleven if Charlotte wrote a letter to the crew in this point of the story she might say, that she is sorry for telling the Captain about there plan and the round robin. I thought Charlotte felt guilty for not choosing someone because, then Zachariah might have not been killed. Charlotte might regret accidentally whipping Captain Jaggery in the face. This is the letter Charlotte might write to the crew.

Dear Crew Members,

I feel so terribly sorry for telling the Captain about the round robin then maybe Cranick and Zachariah might not have been dead. I hope your not mad for trying to save Zachariah. I'm happy and mad for hitting Captain Jaggery, but I am still deciding otherwise. I hope you accept my apology.

Sincerely,Charlotte Doyle

In chapter nine I thought when she went tot tell Captain Jaggery that she was going to get killed by the crew members. I was surprised that she really went to tell Jaggery. I think she made that decision so she would be defended by the captain if crew members actually did and try to attack them. I predict that the crew members will attack and go against the captain. I think later on Charlotte will wear the clothes that Zachariah made her.

In chapter eight Charlotte notices how Captain Jaggery treats the crew members. Captain Jaggery punishes them if they don't do exactly what he says. For example Captain Jaggery got mad at Cranick for tying a knot wrong, so because of that Jaggery whipped him so hard Cranick had to cut off his arm. I thought that Jaggery was pushing them so hard because he wants his ship to be in order.

True or False Questions

1. True or False: Charlotte's last name is Boyle?
2. True or False: Zachariah gave Captain Jaggery a dirk?
3. True or False: A round robin is a bird that eats to much?
4. True or False: Mr. Barlow took Charlotte down to get her luggage?
5. True or False: Captain Jaggery has a daughter?

I predict in the next chapter that the person in the jail will start talking to her and help her find the way out of the area. The prisoner I think is a murder victim from when Captain Jaggery might have murdered him. If I was Charlotte I would have tried to run away and find my way out. Charlotte might pull out the dagger/dirk out and try to kill the prisoner. I feel excited to found out what's next.

For my next blog post I will summarize chapters four through six. In chapter four Charlotte awoke to four bells. Right after she got up she quickly went to return the dagger/dirk to Zachariah. When she found him she tried to give it back, but Zachariah pleaded to keep it with her. Then she asked why she needed it. Finally, he told her about what happened to Mr. Cranick and the captain. In chapter five Charlotte talk with the captain in his cabin. She thought that his room was very nice. He told her to watch for the sign with the circles and the names in them. In chapter six Charlotte went to go get her luggage then in the jail cell she saw a ............. grinning head with it's eyes fixed right on her. Finally, her candle blew out and she was alone in the dark, and with no light.

In chapters two and three Charlotte determines who she will befriend and who she won't by seeing how kind and and furious they are, also how nice they are to her on the trip. Captain Jaggery is kind to Charlotte, but is strict to his crew. His crew tends to not like him as much as the first mate. On the other hand Zachariah is kind, loving, and caring. Everyone tends to like Zachariah more the captain, but I can tell why. He even offers Charlotte some tea. How kind!

I think now that Captain Jaggery is pirate and is always getting in trouble with the government and the people.

I predict that in chapter two that Charlotte will find a new friend, but not Captain Jaggery. I think there maybe be rats, mice, flies, and other animals down in the boat. Who knows maybe there will be dead people in her cabin!!?? I feel sorry for Charlotte.

To start my blog I will give a short introduction about the book The True Confessions of Charlotte Doyle. It all starts with a girl named Charlotte Doyle, which is thirteen years old, and lives in England. The other members of her family are living in Providence, Rhode Island. Charlotte is then staying in England to finish her semester in school for women, but later gets accused of murder, brought to trial, and found guilty.

I thought that was crazy that a thirteen year old in the Victorian time to be accused of murder!????
