Blue Dolphins: Group 7

Karana waits for the ship's return because she
wants them to know she's there if the boat
comes and mostly because she wants to get off
of that island. Would you want to stay on an
island with no company and hungry wild dogs?

No. I would not want to be left behind on a island with no
company or with wild dogs. Karana checks everyday for a
ship because she wants to make sure that the Aleuts did
not come at night.
