Authors note: my writing piece is comparing how survivals is shown throughout Scott O'Dell two books island of the blue dolphin, and Sarah bishop.
Have you ever had to spend the night alone outside with no friends or family? Imagine having to live life alone with no family, no friends, and no home or food or warmth. In the novels, Sarah bishop, & Island of the blue dolphins by Scott, O dell, two girls with very different lifestyles both loss their family and have to learn survive on there own.
In Sarah bishop, the girl, Sarah bishop ,is a fifteen years old. & she lives at home with her brother and father until war breaks out in her home town, her family passes away and she is on her own. She is a very smart girl to learn how to survive all alone.
In island of the blue dolphin Kendra is own her own because her and her brother where left behind by a ship and then wild dogs eat her brother . In island of the blue dolphins, Karana's brother Ramo is killed and she is left alone on the island. She is harassed constantly by the wild dogs and the other wild animals on her island.
