Moral Development

When Karana is first left alone on the island, her moral ideology is more or less identical to that of her people. As the story progresses, however, Karana develops her own moral code.
The laws of Karana's tribe forbid women from making weapons, a fact that Karana struggles with constantly as she pits superstition against necessity.
The first time she makes weapons, she is very fearful; the second time she is less fearful but still nervous; the third time, when she makes the spear to catch the devilfish, she does so without any misgivings. Indeed, she makes that spear almost as a hobby, for catching devilfish is not a necessity.
Another way in which Karana departs from her tribe's rituals is through her friendship with Tutok. After the incident with Captain Orlov, the people of Ghalas-at become the sworn enemies of the Aleuts. Karana, however, gives Tutok a chance, even though she is an Aleut and potentially very dangerous.

A final way in which Karana divulges from the ideology of her people is her decision not to kill any more animals. Hunting and killing animals was a necessary part of her tribe's economy, but Karana no longer wishes to kill animals because she sees them as very much like people.

Karana forages on land and in the ocean, clothes herself (in a green-cormorant skirt and an otter cape on special occasions), and secures shelter. Perhaps even more startlingly, she finds strength and serenity living alone on the island.


Last time,She wanted to kill the dog because the dogs killed Ramo.But now,he does not kill the injured dog, who is the leader of the wild dogs as she felt pityful for Rontu,her new dog.Last time,she do not know how to do much work,but now Karana begins to take on the tasks originally .When she was first marooned, she used animals for food and tools and clothing. After many years alone on the island, Karana decides not to kill anymore. The animals have become her friends and her companions, and though she knows her people would think she is silly, she cannot bring herself to harm them for her benefit.

Summary

Not like lastime,she was hunting animals for foods,now she is not hunting animals for foods as animals were their friends.When Karana is first left alone on the island, her moral ideology is more or less identical to that of her people. As the story progresses, however, Karana develops her own moral code. As we all know if we are in a village and our friends or your loved onces live you and go to a another village,it will be very sad but most important,you must know how to do things like the simple things like protecting yourselves.It must be all in your fingertip.Like making a spear espacielly women cannot makes spear.She had to do this to protect herself..Actually this is a true story.If you are in a sitution like Karana,you even cannot imagine the life she have.She actually wanted to kill him espacially as he was the leader of the dogs that killed Karana's brother and for this reason,Karana is not a high tempered girl.From this story,We all can learn a lot of morals.She was brave,kind and some more and nowsdays,she is very independent. Anyway,I learnt a lot of moral from Island of the blue Dolphins.
