fm315+Rontu-Aru

Not Lonely Anymore In chapters 25 and 26 of Island of the Blue Dolphins by Scott O' Dell, Karana captures and tames the son of Rontu after Rontu dies of old age. Some people may think that Karana immediately replaces Rontu, but the reader knows that Karana waited a whole winter. At the end of chapter 26 it may look like Karana is replacing Rontu, but by now we see that Karana waited a whole winter for her to get Rontu-Aru. Karana might seem sad and gloomy without Rontu, but on page 157 says that Karana is having a great time with Rontu-Aru. Because Rontu-Aru is with her, Karana doesn't feel lonely anymore.
