Both the adults and the children stand together when faced with danger. There is not much difference in the way they react. The only difference is that children can't fight the sea like others. But they don't panic at all. They in no way add difficulties of the elders. They show rare courage. Jon says to his father , “We Are Not afraid to dying if we can all be together.” It adds to the father determination to fight the sea. Mary , Larry and Herb all play their role heroically.
