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.
