WHITE DOLPHIN: SETTING,CONFLICT AND RESOLUTION

GILL LEWIS

This novel is set in a quiet fishing town in Cornwall in recent times.

Kara, the protagonist, tacitly creeps out of school almost every day to meet her father, at a gloomy harbor.

She spends time there with him sailing and fishing on their boat. Her description of the harbor is not very flattering. “The air is thick with the smell of beer and chips.”

 As the story progresses, a reef becomes the central setting because Kara and her friends are campaigning to save it. This is also part of the main conflict of this story.

A Dolphin is stranded in the reef because of its severe injuries.

This was caused by Duggie Evens, he is the main antagonist.

He decides to trawl the whole reef with his special machines and destroy all the underwater wildlife. This is the main conflict. 

Lead by Kara, all the civilians in the town try to stop him, but will they succeed at the end of this novel.
