Abstract
Scott O'Dell is a famous American writer who has written 26 children's literature. Island of the Blue Dolphins is a children's literature of the famous American writer, Scott O'Dell, who wrote in 1960. In 1976, the Children's Literature Association named it one of the ten best American children's books of the past two hundred years. The work tells the story of an Aboriginal girl Karana who lived alone in an island which looks like a dolphin for many years and her life experiences with the island's creatures from the struggle to live together to express the author's ecological consciousness. This thesis tries to analyze the importance and necessity of harmonious development between man and nature, and the relationship between human being with the deep ecology proposed by Arne Naess as a guide theory.
