Book Review of Island of Blue Dolphins

This book, written by Scott, talks about a dolphin-like blue island that is home to a tribe called the Karas At, who have lived here for generations without a care in the world. But joy begets sorrow, and disaster comes at last, like a stone shattering a mirror, a ship from the outside world destroys the peace and warmth. Most of the warriors of the tribe were killed, and there was not a family that had not lost a father, husband, brother or son. In the face of cruel reality, terrible enemies, people have to choose to flee. In the boat, in order to save the island left out of the 6-year-old brother, Karana resolutely jumped off the boat. On the island, her brother was bitten to death by wild dogs, the boat is gone, Kalana had to start their own hard life and finally returned home after a long time.


Strong character, positive, that's how people get through tough times. karana has a variety of strength and straightness that keeps her alive. She makes her own weapons; She is strong, in these 18 years of life she has not shed a tear of grievance even when her brother died and the dog died. She is kind, and when a little girl of the Aleuts arrives, Karana forgets the cruelty of the Aleuts and forms a deep friendship with the little girl. She is an ordinary girl, but with their own hands to do extraordinary things. In a place where there was no one but him, she had created an empire on her own, and that was what her character brought about. In the face of difficulties, only their own character can help themselves.


Hope is a good dose, with it, people can get through everything. Hope is the goal, it lets us know where to work. For her, cold, hunger, illness, ready to pounce on her, but she was one by one. For her, the light of hope was eternal. No amount of hunger, no amount of fear, no amount of cold could make her brave and persistent give up. At only 12 years old she, as if there was a tenacious symphony of life rung rung. 18 years, so long, survive; Winter, so cold, survive; Summer, so hot, survive... Strong, brave in her embodiment of the incisive. And this courage is given by hope, if she does not see hope, then maybe she will not survive a year. Hope is a beacon in the midst of difficulties.


Kindness is a kind of character that gives people a chance. It is different from bravery, but it is better than it. She gave up on killing the badly wounded leader who had killed her brother and took him in and became good friends with him. She made friends with all the animals on the island: she raised hummingbirds and fished for the injured sea. She also gave the Aleut girl her most cherished dress, even though the Aleuts had killed her relatives. If she doesn’t have kindness, these won’t happen, and she will miss her hopes with loneliness. Kindness made her forgive the dog, established a good relationship with the island for life, and made her overcome loneliness. Kindness allows us to obtain other things that bravery cannot give to us.


Karana has a lot of good qualities, and they help her survive. She was in the face of all kinds of harm, even loneliness. She did not escape from all this, but bravely faced it. She makes good friends with foxes, dolphins and sea otters, which shows how kind she is. She is always trying to help others. She defeated the wild dogs through her wisdom and tamed two dogs to become her companions. Unfortunately, the one with whom she had the best relationship died early, but the light of hope was never been destroyed. She is not greedy, she threw a box of jewelry that does not belong to her into the sea, although she also loved the hand jewelry, tried it on for a while, but she did not try to own it. That's how she survived until the fleet arrived.
