Chapter 11 and 12

1. Karana left the island because she could not bear to live there alone another day; yet when she returned she felt happy. List four things that made Karana feel happy.

2. Karana had to build a house since she had burned all the houses in the village. Give three reasons why she decided to build her house on the headlands.

3. What did Karana use to build a fence?  Why did she build the fence before she built the house?

4. Describe the two (2) utensils that Karana made for cooking.  What are sai-sai?   What did Karana use them for?

5. Why did she want to kill a sea elephant?

6. Read over the description of Karana's new house and fence carefully; then on a separate sheet of paper, draw a picture to show what it looks like based upon the description in the book.  (Post that you are doing this one if you choose to so not everyone does number 6!)

  1. #3 Karena used whale ribs that where washed up on shore to build a fence because most of the bones where taken for ornament. she built the fence before she built her house because she didnt want the wolves to attack and kill her or eat stuff so she built the fence to protect herself and then she built her house

    1st reason she built her house was because she needed protection from the wind
    2nd reason she built her house was because there was sea elephants near by.
    3rd reason she built her house was because she wanted to kill the wild dogs and if she built a hut there she could kill the dogs less time.

  10. #3 for the fence karana used whale ribs. She built the fence before the house because the foxes could get in the house and steal all the food she had stored up and they could hurt her for the meat so they don't starve,and they wolf pack could get in to her house while she is sleeping and kill her so they cold also have food like they did with ramo.

    NEW ISLAND OF THE BLUE DOLPHINS GROUP

    *reason 1 is that she could get at least some protection from wind and she could see the North coast and Coral Cove
    *reason 2 is the main reason she built her house there it was because of the sea elephants so she could get food and make more iron spearheads
    *reason 3 is she could kill the dogs that killed her brother since there hut was right there

  13. #5 She wanted to kill a sea elephant for it's teeth. She wanted the teeth for part of a spear she was going to make. Specifically, a bull sea elephant's tooth.
