Reading Response

This book is based on a Island girl that has been separated from her father and her tribe. She needs to end up finding a way to live/survive on her, with out her family and, or friends.
Very dangerous things happen where she is from but, she will have to figure out a way to keep her self alive, at least in tell her family returns. She is only twelve-years old on an island with her little brother. In the book a terrible thing happens, her little brother is killed be this group of dogs. But this action that struck her live seems worse at the time but ends up helping her preserver a better Karana. She ends up promising that she will not rest in tell the pack of dogs that killed her brother are died! At the ends she makes friends with the dogs and slowly comes to understand that it's better to live in peace than in war.

I think that this book shows moral courage in the way that Karana learns to be brave and make use into her live even thought that she has lost her family and, her brother was killed. I think that if I had to go through something like that I would of never survived. I think that having to lose your family and having to know that your brother died on that island that your at that exact moment. I dont think that I would want to be karana's friend because she is living a pretty hard live, but overall I think that if I was to be her friend it would have payed of, by because she has learnd so much during this experiance in her live.
