Question

In Chapter 10, Mr. Cranick emerges with the rest of the crew to mutiny against Captain Jaggery. In Chapter 11, Zachariah insists that this rebellion is justified, while Captain Jaggery firmly objects. Pretend you are a lawyer for Zachariah, and it is your responsibility to defend him to a jury. In about 150 words, write an opening statement in which you summarize your argument in defense of Zachariah and the sailors.

Answer 1

Answer:

Zachariah led a mutiny against captain Jaggery because he thought that the captain was a gentleman and trustworthy but he did not turn out to be trustworthy and cheated. According to Zachariah and Charlotte, captain Jaggery was a trust worthy man. Both of them thought that he was a gentleman and could be trusted very easily. But to their surprise, captain Jaggery turned out to be completely opposite of both of them thought the captain to be. Captain Jaggery was not a gentleman at all and not at all trust worthy. He had deceived every one and that was the reason why Zachariah had led a mutiny against him and he said that the rebellion was totally justified which was against the captain. What did Zachariah reveal to Charlotte about the crew? He told her that she insulted him in front of his crew. He told her that he no longer would protect her from the crew, and that she was to never visit him in his cabin again.
