• Describe the most important event. Give at least three reasons why you think it is the most important event.
*Spoilers Ahead*
I think that the most important event in the story would be when Karana jumps off of the boat for her brother, Ramo when he got left behind. Her brother had been left behind because he wanted to get his fishing spear, which Karana didn't let him. They where already a bit far from the island when she sees him and jumps to go be with him. Even if he dies about five days later.
This is an important event because her little brother, Ramo was very young and wouldn't know how to survive by himself. Even if he did die about five days later I'm guessing it would have been sooner if she hadn't been there with him. He still wasn't old enough to hunt or make tools like the other men from the tribe so he would be in trouble.
Another reason why this is the most important event is because when she jumps off, that makes to story progress instead of ending really short. If she hadn't jumped off then the story would have ended there. By jumping off to be with her brother its progressing the story like for example her adventures on the island after Ramo died. Even if the book would have written her adventures on the main land to me it wouldn't have made sense because of the title of the book.
My final reason why this is the most important event is because her jumping off shows that she loves her brother so much, that she would jump of just to be with him. I think this would be a very important event because to me family is forever and I think she knew that too and wanted to be with him instead of leaving him all alone. Risking his chance of survival like I had explained earlier. What made me curious is why didn't her older sister jump to? Was she restrained by the tribe on the boat after Karana jumped?
