Island of the Blue Dolphins Ch. 24-29 Flashcards

After seeing Won-a-nee and the 2 baby seals, Karana does not kill another otter, dog, sea-elephant, or cormorant. She cannot kill a family member, and these animals are her family.

O'Dell describes how the otter play in the kelp, and how their mother teaches them to swim. Also, the author describes Rontu listening to her talk.
