Island of the Blue Dolphins

Let’s say that you are left on an island only with your brother. What will you do? Will you wait to be rescued, just cry, or enjoy the situation and survive by yourself? Maybe I would have been crying, but this girl named Karana enjoyed the situation.
Before I talk about the adventure Karana went through, I want to tell you a very special thing about the people here. Maybe other people who read this book won’t think that this is so special. What I thought that was special was that the people on this island have two names. One is a real name and the other one is a name that others use. Maybe I thought that this was special because it was the first thing that caught my interest from the book. What would my name have been?
Anyways, back to the island “adventure”, Karana has survived by herself by making weapons, finding and making things she needed (instead of crying). If I was Karana, I think I would have been very depressed and horrible, but I think I would have done the same thing as she did. I would have made my house and plates, and get my own food to eat. If I am bored, I will make some “animal friends” and play with them!
I want to ask one thing to Karana, and that is, how she was BRAVE! Also, I wish I had that bravery to survive my myself, too!
