Island of the Blue Dolphins doesn’t accurately capture the lone woman’s experiences.

The lone woman’s unique experiences on San Nicola were interesting to many people.

When the lone woman came to the mainland she was overwhelmed by the new culture.

The lone woman would have preferred to stay on the island she considered home.

“Her story has intrigued and inspired readers and historians ever since she was rescued.” (Paragraph 1)

“There were no other ships large enough to make the trip on the coast at the time. Soon, the rescue mission and the lone woman were forgotten.” (Paragraph 6)

“Over the next 18 years, rumors traveled around the mainland that San Nicolas Island might still be inhabited.” (Paragraph 7)

“Before she died the priests baptized her and gave her the Spanish name Juana Maria.” (Paragraph 12)

She became ill shortly after arriving and died.

She was treated as more of an attraction than a person and this made her sad.

She grew to miss her life on San Nicolas Island and became homesick.

She realized that her people were gone and died of a broken heart.

“She willingly went back with them to the mainland.” (Paragraph 9)

“She stayed with the priests at the Santa Barbara Mission. Her people had scattered, and no one in the area spoke the same language as she did.” (Paragraph 10)

“As she became famous around the town, many people came to see and visit with her.” (Paragraph 11)

“The lone woman had survived on her own for so long that the food the priests and locals cooked for her made her very sick. She died of disease after only seven weeks on the mainland.” (Paragraph 12)
