lp115+Rontu+Aru

=
In chapters 25 and 26 of //Island of the Blue Dolphins//, by Scott O'Dell, Karana's loyal dog Rontu dies of old age, leading her to capture and tame a new dog. Some readers may think that Karana captured the new dog too quickly but Karana waited an entire season to get a new dog. At the beginning of chapter 26, the book says," I went out of my house as little as possible", which proves that she's so depressed that she doesn't like leaving the house.It may seem natural that naming her new dog Rontu Aru was so that Karana could replace Rontu, but this just shows that she misses him. On the one hand, Rontu Aru looks like Rontu; but on the other hand, Karana wanted the son of her earlier companion. Because she missed him so much, Karana got his son.=====
