Island of Blue Dolphins-Chapter 8(connecter-lavanes)

1. 'I am the son of Chowig,' he said again, and as he spoke his eyes suddenly grew large. 'I am his son and since now he is dead I have taken his place. I am now Chief of Galas-at. All my wishes must be obeyed.'

Connector: It is true even in real life in certain countries such as Brunei which have kings or queens ruling the country give their position to their child if not a competition or meeting is held to choose the correct person to rule that country. But this doesn't only happens between Kings or Queens it also happens between minister of that country.

2.I put Ramo out of my mind as I searched the rocks for mussels. I thought of the food we need to gather and how best to protect it from the wild dogs when we were not in the village .

Connector: If you are stranded in an island with a person you know-(siblings,relative, parents)-of course the first you would think is how and where to get the little food you could get. Then later after a long hard work of finding and getting the of course sharing is done but before that you should first hide the food so that you could eat it for the next day or just to save it from animals or people in that island.

3.All night I sat there with the body of my brother and did not sleep. vowed that someday I would go back and kill the wild dogs in the cave. I would kill all of them.

Connector: They part of the story gives us a true meaning of the relationships between siblings. Karana vows upon the dead body of her brother to seek revenge on her brother' s death as compare to nowdays people do take revenge on throwing to jail or like in movies killing their loved ones murderer.

The 1st born will succeed the King when he is of age that is correct. However, that is not true for Ministers. Perhaps you can share what caused you to have the assumption that offsprings of the ministers succeed their positions?

Your last point reminds me so much of the hit series 'Prison Break' where the main character - Michael Scofield attempted a bank robbery to get himself incarcerated in prison so that he can engineer an elabourate escape plan to free his brother (whom he believes to be wrongly convicted) from death row.

Being stranded in a island with your relatives or siblings it is hard, I say this because if one dies, the brother or the sister the one living will have a hard time surviving on their own. Sometimes the indiviual can go mad of lonliness.

The eldest son of the king,a prince,when he is older,he will become a crown prince.But minister son is harder to be the minister after the minister quit.

karana should set aside everything and look for Ramo because Ramo is her only relative in that island .
