Island of the Blue Dolphins

Island Of The Blue Dolphins I believe that Karana should have jumped rather than stayed on the boat. I think this because it shows her esteem for her chum salmon, secondly she does it because she feels like she has to protect her younger fellow and lastly it is an unselfish act to do. Firstly, Karana should jump because it shows she loves her chum. The thought going through her mind was that she should jump for your younger brother. The love that Karana and her younger brother had for one another should make her jump.For example in a situation like Karanas it is the right thing to go buns for her little brother, Karana was going through painful thoughts like the thoughts that her little brother may die. This would make anyone jump. Secondly, she does this because she feels the need to protect her younger brother. Karana is the type of person who would do anything if she had a older or younger sibling in danger or wounded. So in this type of situation in which her younger brother needs a big sisters help, Karana would be doing anything possible to get to her little brother like jumping off the boat.I felt as if I had been gone a long time as I stood there looking down from the high rock. I was happy to be home. Everything I saw- the otter performing in the kelp, the rings of foam around the rocks guarding the harbour, the gulls flying, the tides moving past the sandpit filled me with happiness. A qoute from the novel. (Scott ODell) Finally, it was an unselfish act towards her brother. Because if Karana did not have jumped her younger brother wouldve felt useless with nothing to live for and unfortunately killed himself.Even if Karana hadnt of jumped she would have felt selfish and she would have lost all the love and sympathy that her brother had for her. The love that they had for each other drove Karana to do the most unselfish and Christian act that any human would be able to do. In conclusion, Karana did what was dress hat for her and everyone else. It must have been one of the hardest choices any person could ever make but in Karana made the best of choices. This shows the courage and ability Karana had to do to be able to save and be with her younger brother. A Matter of Life or Death Mrs Hicks EN505 Matt Oakford Week 5-Week 8
