Island of the Blue Dolphins
What did Karana do to cope with the death of Rontu?

Karana stayed put and worked quietly..... she kept to herself in her grief.
That winter I did not go to the reef at all. I ate the things I had stored and left the house only to get water at the spring. It was a winter of strong winds and rain and wild seas that crashed against the cliffs, so I would not have gone out much even if Rontu had been there. During that time I made four snares from notched branches.
