Something of Robinson Crusoe

This is a novel by the English author Daniel Defoe, published in 1719.It is one of the most popular adventure novels in all literature.It is the story of Bobinson Crusoe, an Englishman who is shipwrecked in a lonely tropical island.He builds himself a hut, grows his own food, and becomes self-sufficient.After 23 years he meets with a group of cannibals and rescues one of their prisoners, a young native whome he calls Friday.Crusoe and his“man”Friday become close friends, and when they are finally rescued four years later, both return to England.This novel is famous for its lovely details and its expression of belief in man's ability when left alone in nature.the author and the novel

Daniel Defoe(1659/1661 [?] – April 24 [?], 1731)was an English writer,journalist, and spy, who has been well known as the writer of Robinson Crusoe among readers of different generations all over the world.Defoe is notable for being one of the earliest practitioners of the novel and helped popularize the genre in Britain.As a prolific and versatile writer, he wrote more than five hundred books ,pamphlets, and journals on various topics(including politics, crime, region, marriage, psychology and the supernatural).He was also a pioneer of economic journalism.This novel has often been taken as an adventure story by common readers, while critics usually emphasize its portrayal of the capitalist ambition during the beginning stage of the development of capitalism.Both groups of readers tend to overlook its religious, spiritual and moral aspects, which take up a large proportion of the novel.This thesis seeks to explore the conflicts and also the possibility of reconciliation between two important sides of human existence as expressed in Robinson Crusoe: man as an economic being and man as a spiritual being, and concludes that, only under proper spiritual guidance can man achieve due material civilization with economic prosperity, while retaining a wholesome individuality.Therefore, through his adventures Robinson is also undergoing a pilgrim’s spiritual progress.The background

This novel was based on a real story of Alexander Selkirk , which gave Defoe great inspiration.In September,1704, a Scottish sailor, Alexander Selkirk defected on the sea.So his captain left him in an island near Chili.4 years later, he was saved by a voyager and returned to his country.But he forgot the human language and became a savage completely.He didn’t have great

creation or heroic on that waste island ,however, Robinson Crusoe was a new character in the novel.The author put his own experience, true feelings and ideas into the character.He gave his fancy full scope to have artistic treatment.Robinson Crusoe became a hero in the petty bourgeoisie.He also has adventure of the bourgeoisie and enlightenment Consciousness.The author gave Robinson obvious characteristics of this period.The brief introduction

Crusoe leaves England on a sea voyage in September, 1651 against the wishes of his parents.The ship is taken over by Salè pirates and Crusoe becomes the slave of a Moor.He manages to escape with a boat and is

befriended by the Captain of a Portuguese ship off the western coast of Africa.There with the help of the Captain, Crusoe becomes owner of a plantation.He joins an expedition to bring slaves from Africa, but he is shipwrecked in a storm about forty miles out to sea on an island near the mouth of the Orinoco river on September 30, 1659.His companions all die;he manages to fetch arms, tools and other supplies from the ship before it breaks apart and sinks.He proceeds to build a fenced-in habitation and cave, keeps a calendar by making marks in a piece of wood.He hunts, grows corn, learns to make

pottery, raises goats, etc.He reads the Bible and suddenly becomes religious, thanking God for his fate in which nothing is missing but society.He discovers native cannibals occasionally visit the island to kill and eat

prisoners.At first he plans to kill the savages for their abomination, but then he realizes that he has no right to do so as the cannibals have not attacked him and do not knowingly commit a crime.He dreams of capturing one or two servants by freeing some prisoners, and indeed, when a prisoner manages to escape, Crusoe helps him, naming his new companion “Friday” after the day of the week he appeared, and teaches him English and converts him to Christianity.Many years later, an English ship appears;mutineers have taken control of the ship and intend to maroon their former captain on the island.The captain and Crusoe manage to retake the ship.They leave for England, leaving behind three of the mutineers to fend for themselves and inform the Spaniards what happened.Crusoe leaves the island on December 19, 1686.From Portugal, he travels overland to England, to avoid mishaps at sea, via Spain and France;during winter in the Pyrenees, he and his companions have to fend off an

attack by vicious wolves.Back in England, he decides to sell his plantation, as returning to Brazil would entail converting to Catholicism.Later in life, after marrying, having three children and becoming widowed, he returns to his island for a last time.The book ends with a hint about a sequel that would detail his return to the island, which had been discovered.The thoughts

I suppose one of the main themes is survival.Robinson Crusoe was

shipwrecked and had to survive life on a remote tropical island near Venezuela for 28 years until he was rescued.However, there are a lot of other important themes in the book.Robinson Crusoe says that he is writing his account to instruct others in God's wisdom and to know the importance of repenting one's sins.Crusoe had gone to sea against his father's wishes and he sees his isolation on the island partly as God's punishment and he feels a great need to repent of his sin.He also sees it being important to convert his servant Friday to Christianity(he believes that God will be pleased if he converts the heathens or just one heathen in Crusoe's case since there is only one other person on the island).So religion is an important theme in the book.

I think I will not, because I do not have that capability, but also used by parents to bear all for me.If I were him, and when you see the savage with the opening dinner companion, I would like him the courage to stand out? I'm like, I will not.Because by then I will pray for his safe.All in all, all I have to admit their own weakness and incompetence.But everything will be after I read his story changed.I will learn to grow up a person, a person to face.Although there is a long path in life the pain of failure, but also the joy of success.As long as I believe that they can overcome the difficulties and the dawn of victory will eventually come.And that has experienced trials and hardships of the rainbow will be even more brilliant!

英文读后感之鲁宾孙漂流记读后感

It seemed to be such a coincidence that the night after I finished reading The Life And Adventures Of Robinson Crusoe, I was to dine in a restaurant distinctly related to the book itself.This restaurant was no other than the famous American-styled “Friday’s.” The reason for mentioning this restaurant is quite straightforward to all the gentlemen, ladies and children who have read the novel and enjoyed it, which is the fact that this restaurant was, most likely, named after the American Native in Robinson Crusoe, called Friday.This restaurant offers very exceptional service, for instance when the waitresses are asked to order dishes they kneel rather than stand, which, unlike the other restaurants I have been to, makes it easier for the customers to hear them speak.Moreover, Friday’s friendly services to the customers help them to make better choices when ordering dishes.I remembered when I went to Friday’s last time;the waitress kindly described the items on the menu with precise details.It turned out that the combo I initially wanted was designed to be shared among a large group, not to be eaten by one person.I think this restaurant shows many commendable features similar to that of Friday.Friday brought emotional warmth to the people around him with his appealing personality.I think it was this personality that affected Crusoe and made him say that he loved Friday when Crusoe didn’t express love for his parents, brothers, sisters, or even his wife.“When he espied me, he came running to me, laying himself down again upon the ground, with all the possible signs of an humble, thankful disposition, making many antic gestures to show it…to let me know how he would serve me as long as he lived.” This was what Friday did after Crusoe had rescued him from the two savages chasing him.It was easy for me to see why Crusoe had loved Friday.After sometime, Crusoe and Friday were to rescue Friday’s father.When Friday reunited with his father, the scene was easy to move anyone: “It would have moved anyone to tears to have seen how Friday kissed him, embraced him, hugged him, cried, laughed, halloed, jumped about, danced, sung;and then sung and jumped about again, like a distracted creature.It was a good while before I could make him speak to me.” This is my favourite chapter in the whole book.It is hard to see why Friday is an ex-savage when he can have personalities more praiseworthy than many civilized people, viz.Crusoe himself.“When he(Friday)went to him(Friday’s father), he would sit down by him, open his breast, and hold his father’s head close to his bosom, half an hour together, to nourish it;then he took his arms and ankles, which were numbed and stiff with the binding, and rubbed them with his hands.” Furthermore, Friday’s expression of loyalty in asking Crusoe to kill him rather than leave him is more heartfelt than anything Crusoe ever says or does.Crusoe, on the absolute contrary, seems incapable of deep feelings, as shown by his account of leaving his family—he never shows any emotions.After a moving lecture from Robinson’s father about his future, he still decided to follow his own wandering ambition.Careless was he about the wishes of his parents to keep him alive and prosperous, as he was the only child left in the family.When he came back from the island which he had lived on for twenty eight years, he found that it had been too late to tell his parents that he was still alive, but yet again he did not feel sorry for them;he also did not feel sorry for the two people who had to live in misery for nearly thirty years under the allusion all of their sons were dead.He had the same feelings for his wife: when he was married, he said it was “not either to my disadvantage or dissatisfaction”, implying that it was also neither to his advantage nor his satisfaction.Moreover, after his wife died, Robinson did not think of looking after the three children they had, but went back to the island, which he had lived on for twenty-eight years.It was on this trip which Robinson Crusoe revisited “His Island” as he called it.I feel that Robinson’s indifference to his family is almost emotionally cruel.

Reading summary of Robinson Crusoe

I once read a book named Robinson Crusoe.It is really a great book and it touches me a lot.Once upon a time there was a man named Robinson.He is an Englishman.He loved sailing and taking risks.He visited a great number of places around the world, and met many risks.He once went to South America by sea.At that time, he was caught in a strong wind.The wind was so strong that it blew down the mast.The ship turned over and Robinson’s friends all died.Only Robinson was alive and he swam to an island where nobody lived.He was cold and hungry.But he never gave up and he found many things in the ship that can help him.Then he lived in the island.After 26 years, Robinson rescued a wild man called Friday.Because of Friday’s help, Robinson finally took a ship back to England after 28 years.Robinson was really excellent.He had no food, no water, no guns, and nothing that could help him.Most of people would give up at that time, but Robinson didn’t.Luckily, the ship sailed to the coast and Robinson found food, water, guns and many other things.He lived in a difficult life that others could not believe.He met a lot of difficulties.But he was always very calm.He used his hands to build a lot of things.Although he was very lonely, he was still very hopeful.He never gave up so he finally succeeded.Now, we live in a wonderful life.We have big houses, beautiful rooms, plenty of delicious foods, expensive cars, computers, televisions, and a great number of things that can make us happy.But Robinson didn’t have these.He lived in a lone island, slept in a small cave, ate lambs that he killed by himself.We travel to many other places those are quite beautiful.But Robinson lived in a same island for 28 years.We always complain that the life is so dark, that we cannot live.But Robinson didn’t complain, he was always very hopeful.Now, everyone is very friendly to us, we are very safe.But Robinson must face the wild people.They were very dangerous because they ate people.But Robinson won.He killed the wild man and got a big ship.He never gave up that he thought he would go back to his home one day.And he did it.Compare with Robinson, the difficulties in our life is much smaller than Robinson’s.So we shouldn’t complain about the difficulties.We should be brave and find the way to solve the problems.Although there are many difficulties, we should keep our mind cool and never feel bitter about the difficulties.Robinson Crusoe was written by Daniel Defoe.He was an Englishman.He lived in the period that England was developed.At that time, many people worked a lot to let the country run.This story tells us we should confront the difficulties and be hopeful.We should never give up.When we meet big problems, we should try to solve them.And when you always persist to work, you will be successful in the end.
