Hopfully you can finish drawing a picture and then giving it to a fifth grade teacher so you can get the points for completing the assignment.

Karana makes her own weapons even though women aren't supposed too. She kills three wild dogs but not the leader. After she killed the dogs she gathered more food. She had decided during the days of the storm that she would go in a canoe to a country that lays toward east. Karana used a star that guided her to the east.

I loved your little paragraph but you might want to add a little more to your paragraph. ( Just to let you know.)

When you are the discussion you're asking questions.( At least that's what I thought.)

Why didn't Karana make her house up high? It probaly would have been safer building her house up higher so the wild dogs couldn't get to her than building it on ground where they can break through the fence. Why is it a rule that women can't make weapons? What if Karana needed to defend herself and she followed the rule that she couldn't make weapons? Why did she use kelp to build her bed instead of wood? She would be off the ground if there was wood and leaves for softness. **

I think she didn't put her house on a higher piece of land because she didn't want the wild dogs to attack her and because she was closer to the beach to get food easily. I do not get is that if the women were all alone on the island somewhere when the wild dogs could attack at any moment. Then the women could defend them selves and when they hear something they can quickly get the weapon ready when needed. I think that she made the bed out of wood because then if the ground was wet she couldn't get all wet on the ground. Nice questions!!!**

I relate to Karana because I wouldn't have the nerve to kill the wild dog. I love dogs and animals and it would just be hard to do that. I would done the same thing she did if i shot it with in arrow once. I would bring it home and care for it until it got better. I would have been mad at the wild dogs if they killed my brother but I wouldn't kill them. I would have been freaked out if the devil fish tried to kill my dog and I probaly would kill it if i had i knife in my pocket because I don't like what the devil fish looks like but I wouldn't let it kill me dog.

I like the paragraph when it said the blue dolphins were leaping beyond the kelp beds. In the kelp otter were playing at the games they never tire of. And around me everywhere the gulls were fishing for scallops, which were numerous that summer. This part sounded so peaceful and calm. It sounds like a really nice place to hang out and relax. Another paragraph I liked is when Karana was determined to catch the devilfish that Rontu always stared at. The part when Karana was losing her grip sounded like it hurt because of rope burn. The author had Karana explain what the devilfish looked like so that helped me have an image in my head of what it looked like. When Karana missed her first shot it had me thinking was she going to lose her grip and let the devilfish go on or would she grab the rope as fast as she let it go.I Also like the part when the devilfish grabed Rontu because it was exciting and I thought a lot about that part because i thought he would be pulled in and die. When the leeches came out. That part creepd me out a lot!!! Karana traveled into a cave full of creatures which I thought were birds. I like when she had to stay in the cave because it like I was with her in the cave waiting for the water to go down. When the Aleuts came I thought she would be captured and they would take her with them. When Karana met Tutok that was cool. I loved that part the best because it involves friendship. If I were Karana I wouldn't let the Aleuts take me but I would be scared to be left on the island alone.

The winter was very windy, rainy, and the sea was very rough. During the Summer, Karana saw a young dog that looked like Rontu where the sea elephants lived. Karana was sure that it was Rontu's son because he was larger than the other dogs and had heavier fur, yellow eyes, and he ran with a happy stride like Rontu did. She planned to catch Ronu's son in the spring. She caught many dogs but not the dog she wanted. Karana also caught a red fox. The fox would follow Karana begging for abalone. She was a thief and would steal food when Karana was out of the house. Karana was about to give up trying to catch the young dog but she remembered this kind of weed called toluache weed. She put it in the ravine because the dogs would usually go there to get a drink at night. Nothing happened but then she remembered xuchal, which was ground-up sea shells and wild tobacco. She made it and poured it into the ravine. Karana got the dog she wanted and took him home because when the wild dogs drank out og the ravine they started to get sleepy. She called him " Rontu- Aru" which meant "Son of Rontu." Karana couln't fall asleep because she had been awakened by a rumbling sound which she thought was thunder but the sky was clear of clouds. The rumbling sound got louder. Karana ran away from that spot in terror. A earthquake was causing this loud sound and making the ground shake. After the earthquake was over Karana began to head home and when she arrived Rontu-Aru was waiting there. There were earth waves that hit. Rontu-Aru and Karana struggled to get back to the house as it got father away from them. The opening under the fence had caved in so Karana had to clear it out. During the night earth trembled and rocks fell. The next day it was peaceful.

Some questions I want to ask you guys about the book are......

Why couldn't the book be longer? Why couldn't her tribe come back to find her and why did the boat have to sink??? How come Tutok didn't come back when the Aluets came to the island? Why did she leave the island? I wouldn't have left because it would be sad to leave the island where my dog, birds, and I lived for a very long time. I would tell the Aluets that I don't want to go but I would tell them the next time you guys come bring supplies and Tutok for me so she can visit me and so I could build a bigger house. Why did she have to change into an ugly and itchy dress instead of staying in her beautiful well made dress?

Emily McDonagh

I wished that the book could be longer because I want to know what happens when she gets to the land. I don't know why the boat had to sink. I have know idea for the 3rd question. I thought that what she decided was sort-of stupid because she loved that island???!!!! I think she should have told them that she didn't like the dress and that she would prefer to wear her other clothes because they were more comfortable. P.S. Could you write to me on my page please?

He possibly left the story there because to me it leaves a feeling inside wondering if it's cliff hanger and is there a second book.
