Narrative Toward Books Island of the Blue Dolphins (Island of the Blue Dolphins #1)

In the Pacific there is an island that looks like a big fish sunning itself in the sea. Around it, blue dolphins swim, otters play, and sea elephants and sea birds abound. Once, Indians also lived on the island. And when they left and sailed to the east, one young girl was left behind. — This is the story of Karana, the Indian girl who lived alone for years on the Island of the Blue Dolphins. Year after year, she watched one season pass into another and waited for a ship to take her away. But while she waited, she kept herself alive by building shelter, making weapons, finding food, and fighting her enemies, the wild dogs. It is not only an unusual adventure of survival, but also a tale of natural beauty and personal discovery.

Judgment Epithetical Books Island of the Blue Dolphins (Island of the Blue Dolphins #1)

★★☆☆☆½If this book just so happens to be one of your childhood favorites, and you notice my rating here, you may be asking yourself, Why must I forever be soiling all the things you hold dear? Ah, thats a good question and one that I often ponder myself. But, in fairness, I didnt actually hate this story. According to the GR rating standards, two and a half stars means it was slightly better than okay, but I cant quite say that I liked it. How about I just say it was underwhelming and leave it

Read this review and others on my blog!Ive been slowly working my way through a pile of middle-grade and lower YA literature, all of which have held a special place in my heart at some point in time. Richard Peck, E. Nesbit, Louis Sachar, Madeline LEnglethese were the authors I grew up with, and even just a glimpse at the covers of these books bring back fuzzy, happy memories, even though I have close to no recollection about their actual contents. Reading these older books feels akin to taking

It was only when I finished reading the book did I get to know that it was based on a true story. The sequel might be worth reading too.Such tragedy followed by sweet tales worthy of Mowgli, but what indubitably would have been a life of work and loneliness. I thought that since the beginning the author wanted to share his story with people of all ages, and it shows.Karana was a transparent character, by which I mean we know all her thoughts. Yet we don't know her reasons for her acts of mercy

3.5. I had not read this as a child so it was all new to me. I really enjoyed this story. It's very fascinating that this woman lived alone on an island for 18 years. Obviously the author knew nothing of her daily living but he did a wonderful job creating her life. Living with all of the luxuries available to us today makes it so clear to me how "easy" my life is. I would not probably not survive a year let alone 18.

When Karana's brother and father die and the rest of her indian tribe go away to another island, she remains on the Island of the Blue Dolphins and has to fend for herself against the wild dogs and other animals. Can she survive? Read on and find out for yourself.This was a pretty good read so def check this one out. It is available at your local library and wherever books are sold.

Island of the the Blue Dolphins: The Complete Reader's Edition (Edited by Sara L. Schwebel)Please note that for a first time perusal of Scott O'Dell's Newbery Award Winning Island of the Blue Dolphins (and this especially for children and/or teenagers), Island of the the Blue Dolphins: The Complete Reader's Edition should perhaps be considered rather too academically dense and advanced (although of course, if a child reader were to skip all of the supplemental inclusions, such as editor Sara L.

Thank you, Kimber! This one brings back good memories for me!
