OpenStudy (texaschic101):

Do you know what her brother's name is ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

OpenStudy (texaschic101):

well...if her brother's name is Ramo, then its because she sees her brother on shore.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so d?

OpenStudy (texaschic101):

yes...I have never read this story...but from doing some research, I found that she saw Ramo on the shore. I am just assuming that is her brother.

OpenStudy (texaschic101):

thats when she jumped in....because the boat was not going to wait for him

OpenStudy (anonymous):

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i dont remember

OpenStudy (texaschic101):

let me look some more...hold on

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok

OpenStudy (texaschic101):

no...its not wrong..I don't think....read this... In chapter seven, Karana demonstrates her empathy for others as she dives into the ocean to go after her brother. This is a pivotal moment in the text that reveals Karana as a uniquely caring and empathetic individual. She has been responsible for Ramo for most of the story thus far, and takes a motherly attitude toward him. Jumping into the sea, however, seems above and beyond the call of duty—Ulape, who is just as much a sister to Ramo as Karana, does nothing.
