Question

Discuss the following questions with your partner.
1. What difference did you notice between the reaction of the adults
and the children when faced with danger?​

Answer 1

There was not much of a difference between the reaction of the children and the adults when faced with danger. Both showed courage and strength. The children showed a more positive frame of mind. The captain and his crew members tried to save the boat but the impetus given to the captain was from his son who said that he was not afraid to die as long as they were together.

Answer 2

The adults lost hope and waited for their end with a heavy heart. At this point, they were motivated by the children. The children offered moral support to the adults.
