Island of the blue dolphin chapter 4 As you should know in this chapter Ulape tells us that a great battle happened.Like the many battle that have being forgotten their are some that are not forgetable.For example there is is world war two were many die.The worse is the many children that could only see the sun rise in many years. One of them is my grandfather, he was sleeping on one fine day when a group of japanese soliders storm into the building and toke away his father.The sight was horrible. The gunshots and warcrys could only be heard.As he when down to look to his shock his father body lay on the ground.Thankfully his mother was spared and he was brought up to be sucessful.How i was chair bound when i heard that.Imagine having to see the body of a loveone and being helpless to do anything.

The loss of everyone
Poor karana! Being the only survivor left on the island, it was indeed upset because even her only kin had died. Died in a wrongful and terrible death, being bitten to death by the wild , ferocious dogs.Well, I think the aleuts were really inhumane. First, they wiped off the village, killing the innocent lifes. Next, their dogs killed Ramo.
As for Karana, her sibilings relationship was indeed touching.Her anxious ness towards Ramo was heart wretching. Despite all diffculties, she made the effort to find Ramo by all ways.In lifes now, people don't take such things much serious until they know the seriousness or the worst.As for karana, it was indeed upset imagine to buried her own brother with her own hands!well, i think karana bravery is what we can learnt from.

"All night I sat there with the body of the brother and did not sleep. I vowed that someday I would go back and kill the dog in the cave. I would kill all of them. I thought of how I would do it, but mostly I thought of Ramo, my brother."

THE Aleuts had drop the bales of otter. They drew knives from their belts and as our warriors rushed upon them the two lines surged back and forth along the beach.Men fell to the sand and rose to fight again.Others fell and did not get up. my father was one of these.

Island of the Blue Dolphins( Chapter 4 )
This story is all about keeping to your promise. As in the story, Captain Orlov does not keep to his promise. He wanted to bargain for a low price. Just because of this small problem, it has made the villagers upset. And now they don't trust Captain Orlov. Fighting had occured and many lives had been lost.
And as for my story, I usually try to keep to my promises so as to not letting any bad things happen between me and that person. And after promising someone, you should keep to what you have promised. Most importantly is, you can never change what you had promised at the last minute.

Role : Connector
1) Ulape and I went together far out on the ledge where I had hidden when the hunter first came .
Connector - It shows that the hunters were not here once with the contract .
2) Captain Orlov had not paid my father for the otter he had killed.
Connector- Captain Orlov did not intend to pay the authors father for the otter he killed
Connector- The men were armed with weapons and not the woman so the men should go first and by the men are physically stronger than the women .
4) A puff of white smoke came from the deck of the ship
Connector- From the white smoke we can see that the ship is on fire , everyone were hurrying because they do not want to be burn alive
5) For a long time it seemed that we would win the battle . But Captain Orlov , who had rowed off to the ship when the battle started , returned with more of his Aluets
Connector - From this we can see that Captain Orlov is afraid that he will in die battle and so he retreated to the ship and tried to escape from the scene

Island of blue Dolphins(chapter4)Connecter-lavanes
1.So when the news came that the hunters had packed their tents, all of our tribe left the village and hurried towards Coral Cove. The men with their weapons went first and the women followed.
Connecter: When there comes trouble first to forward to over come it will be thw men as they are brave and strong.(not all men!) Of course, women don't just stand there are watch! They are there to aid the men during of after the battle.
2.Captain Orlov raised the lid and pulled out several necklaces. There was litte light in the sky,yet the beds sparkled as he turned them this way and that. Beside me, Ulape drew in her breath in excitement, and I could hear cries of delight from women hidden in the brush.
Connecter: Women as per normal are as vain as ever. As shown in the paragraph above. Women may give up anything (not just anything) but not their love for beautiful jewellery.
3.Suddenly captain Orlov and his Aleuts turned and ran to the boat. Our men did not pursue them. The hunters reached the ship, the red sails went up , and that ship moved slowly between the two rocks that guard the cove.
Connecter: In the paragraph above Captain Orlov broke a promise on the amount of share which should be given. Breaking promises are usual. But it is no good as next time when you make a promise no one will believe you.

The Broken Promise
A promise that kills many innocent lifes!I think its similar to reality.Murders often take place due to fights,disputes etc....Well, Captain Orlov was actually not serious at all with the contact!He had gone back on his words. From the scene when the villagers/ ALL THE TRIBES left thevillage, this tells how cooperative and united they were.However,in reality ,people weren't really as united as they were!Some fear while other turned down the offer. But, for this villagers, they were very keen and serious with the contract and deal. Obviously,they were exasperated and unhappy with the results.From this , we also knew that the unity of the villagers and the importance of not giving up.
As for the aleuts,THEY WERE INHUMANE and cruel. To the hard life villagers, the otters were their source of food and life.If the Aleuts just walk away with more than what they were to earn,it would be ridiculous!WELL,if I am karana father I would react the same.The exchange wasn't what they really want tohave neither to see or get. then I think whatever karana father had done was right.Saracifice for the whole was indeed brave.Well,in reality,I think the true heroes/ heroines are the ones that act or help to defend at the correct situation.As for the villagers , even when the chief(KARANA FATHER)had died, they did not flee nor admitting to defeat.Instead, some get up while others when on.They were all keen in pursueing the matter. The bravery and determination in the warrior was touching and courageous of them.Well, as long as determination lies, every matters can be done.

Island of the blue dolphins,Chapter 4 . ( Plot Analyser ) - Cherie
The Aluets had dropped the bales of otter. They drew knives from their belts and as our warriors rushed upon them the two lines surged back and forth along the beach. Men fell to the sand and rose to fight again. Others fell and did not get up. My father was one of these .

Island Of The Blue Dolphins
Passage Master
- Captain Orlov raised the lids and pulled out several necklaces. There was a little light in the sky, yet the beads sparkled as he turned this way and that. Beside me, Ulape drew in her breath of excitement, and i could hear cries of delight from the women hidden in the brush. Here we can tell that there are excitement going on !
- The tide was low and the rocks and the narrow beach were scattered with bundles of otter pelts. Half of the hunters were on the ship. The rest were wadding into the water, tossing the pelts into a boat. The Aluets laughed while they worked, as if they were happy to leave the island.
- With their spears raised our men rushed down across the ledge. A puff of white smoke came from the deck of the ship. A loud noise echoed against the cliff. Five of our warriors fell and lay out.

Island of the Blue Dolphins-Chapter 4(Connector qingqing)
In the story, although the warriors were forced backward to the cliffs and there were few of them left, yet they fought at the foot of the trail and would not retreat. The father had blood on his face but he slowly got to his feet.
Nowadays, people will give up easily.When they face diffculties, they will give up.
So when the news came that the hunters had packed their tents, all of the tribes left the village and hurried towards Coral Cave.The men with their weapons went first and the women followed.From here, we can see that they are united.Nowadays, we seldom see people are united.If we stayed united all the time, we will not fall apart.
