Survival-based on the book...

It all started when the ship did not wait for Ramo... The adventure to prove Karana's survival...
When Ramo died because of the wild dogs, she knew that life ahead was not going to be so easy... She had to live on her own with loneliness and with no adults on the island, she had to protect herself from the wild dogs. She had to survive to avenge her brother's death but eventually, she kept the leader of the wild dogs as her pet. She was not scared that the dog would kill her or something because she understand the meaning of survival. She hunt on her own survival and for her dog, Rontu's life. With Rontu around, survival becomes more meaningful for her. After Rontu's death, her emotions once again was deeply hurt. Instead of giving up, she lived her life as normal and that shows survival. She slept in fear of wild dogs but did not care much and she survived. That is why she could be able to survive till the day the ship came back for her... All thanks to the importance of survival!

Can you share some instances where she made use of her previous experiences/knowledge from the tribe to survive on the island alone?

Other than basic needs, she also needs to survive the torture of being alone on the island. What did she do to cope with that?
