Resilience_Island of the blue dolphins_Hafizah

The Aleuts make to leave despite Chowig's warning. Chowing steps in the way of one of the Aleuts carrying pelts back to the ship, and a skirmish breaks out. Many of the villagers are killed, and the Aleuts escape back to their ship, leaving the chest and a few of the remaining otter pelts on the beach. Karana's father is killed in the battle, and she and the other villagers agree that it was because Chowig told Orlov his secret name that he was unable to properly defend himself and was killed.


What did Karana do when her father was killed?


When karana's father Chowig died the whole village including Karana was in deep sadness, but she did not loss hope.


When Karana awakes the next morning, Ramo is gone. She realizes that he must have gotten up early to go for the canoe, and goes to the beach to wait for him. When Ramo does not arrive at the beach, Karana returns to the village. Ramo is not there either, so she heads towards the cliff where the canoes are stored. On her way there, she hears the barking of dogs off in the distance. When Karana reaches the spot the noise is coming from, she finds Ramo dead, surrounded by the pack of dogs. She carries Ramo back to the village, and the dogs follow her all the way. She chases them away with a club, and follows them back to their lair, three hills distant. Karana considers setting a fire and pushing it into the dogs' cave, but she does not have enough brush. Instead, she returns to the village and sits up all night by her brother's body, vowing one day to kill the wild dogs.


When Ramo died she was devastated as he was the only companion she had. Now that Ramo is dead she has no one to keep her company throughout the hard survival. As there was no companion for her she is lonely thorughout. But she does not lose hope and find herself freinds.
When Rontu her dog died she was more devastated than when her brother Ramo died, because Rontu was the second relation she had and it was the second chance and second hope for her and it was gone when Rotu died.
