Question

Why do you think, did the narrator call lie Amsterdam 'the most beautiful island in the world'?

Answer 1

Hint: We're Not Afraid to Die-If We Can All Be Together,' is a narrative about Gordon Cook, his family, and crewmen displaying tremendous bravery and skill in a battle against water and waves for survival. The writer, his wife Mary, son Jonathan, and daughter Suzanne set sail from Plymouth, England in July 1976 to recreate Captain James Cook's round-the-world voyage of 200 years earlier.

Complete answer:
The author called Amsterdam's island "the most beautiful island in the world." It was because, after all of their ordeals at sea, the island represented a ray of hope for them. It was a modest volcanic rock outcropping with sparse flora. They anchored and rebuilt their ship there.

The narrator was relieved to see the shape of Ile Amsterdam when he ran onto the dèck. It was a French installation. It was described as "a black bit of volcanic rock." Despite the lack of flora, it appeared to be 'the most beautiful island on the planet.' For the night, they anchored off the coast. The next morning, the island's 28 residents cheered them on and assisted them in getting ashore.

Note: The narrative "We are not frightened to die if we can all be together" illustrates how strength, bravery, and togetherness can be used to treat any global ailment. It tells the storey of their amazing trek across the sea and their near-death experience. The plot revolves around their potential efforts to rescue their lives.
