//**Memories of Rontu**//
===**In chapters 25 and 26 of In //The Blue Dolphin// by Scott O'Dell, Karana's loyal dog Rontu dies of old age, leading her to capture and tame a new dog. It may seem natural to replace and onlg dog when it dies; however, you should have grieffed a little. While it seems that Karana replaces the dog a little too quick, she loved Rontu very much and waited a long time to get another one. Although it seems she compleatly forgets about Rontu, the reader knows she really misses him. "Sometimes when Rontu-Aru chases the gulls I compleatly forget he isn't Rontu." Because she waited a whole season, Karana feels it's okay to replace Rontu.**===
