Personal response:
I was kind of amazed that Charlotte Doyle would want to become part of the crew. After all those years of studying in school on how to be a gentlewomen she wants to join them. I don't think that Charlotte's father would really want to do it. Her wise actions were when she told Captain Jaggery that he would be seen by what he really was in Providence, Rhode Island right after he slapped her. Also it was wise for her to spit on his shoes. The foolish items that she did was that she would want to be part of the crew. That what started all the other foolishness. It was also foolish for her to tel on Zachariah after he believed in her.
Evaluate and connect:
Charlotte wants to get along with Captain Jaggery because she wants to be safe and during that time period in which a man takes care of a lady, Captain Jaggery was the only gentleman to do so. The captain is basically like a father to Charlotte Doyle on the ship. In the book on page 103 "Beyond all else I had been educated to the belief that when I was wrong - and how often had my passion father found me at fault - it was my responsibility - mine alone - to admit my fault and make amends. She realizes that it was all her fault and that she must fix it before anything else bad happens to her.
When Charlotte wants to be part of the crew that was wise of her because that is how she will kin with the crew and everybody else. On page 132 she proudly stated,"I don't intend to make a mistake...stated proudly." She thinks that at least this is the first step in getting closer to the crew as much as possible for her. In this part of the book she also learns to turn down and not trust the captain anymore.
