Robinson+Crusoe

By: Tucker

Robinson Crusoe The book I read is called Robinson Crusoe. The author of this book, Daniel Defoe, is just plain incredible. I like this book so much. If I had enough time, I would read it everyday. In fact, what I enjoy the most is that you can learn so much from it. The Thing I love about this book is that it is very interesting. Daniel has amazing talent when it comes to his writing style. During the book, I thought about how fun it would be to go to a deserted island just like Robinson did. In fact, I am fond of how Daniel writes a lot about survival situations. Everything Daniel writes is definitely exciting. The cannibals in the story made it stand out the most. The English decent of Robinson is very clear to me.

Furthermore, Robinson had always wanted to be a captain of a ship, so, when he was old enough, he left from Spain on a trip to “the new world.” While he was on his way to “the new world,” the crew ran into a bad storm, and about 30 of the men died or got pulled over board. The ship hit a sand bar, and it jolted them so fast that most of the men got thrown over. Then Robinson found himself swimming toward an island with a thirty-foot wave crashing behind him. At last he got onto the island, he was so tired that he slept the whole day and into the next morning. For a week or two he went out to the ship and got usable materials. When he woke up one day, the ship was departed. Robinson thought that he was going to have to survive on the island by himself. While he was on the island, he had to learn to survive, build a home, hunt, and grow crops; he also had to stay warm by firewood. He had to make his own furniture to be able to feel comfortable in the island. I really enjoyed this book because I am learning to hunt and I also have to slip wood when I go to my dad’s house. I wouldn’t care for living by myself like Robinson, but it helps you learn about the wilderness.

Robinson and Friday are the two main characters. I am fond of both of them because they are smart and very respectful. Moreover they are very strong which can always help you. When it comes to the wilderness, I am very smart, and I can be very strong. Robinson is respectful and kind, I can be the same way. I am very different from Robinson also. When it comes to food, I will hunt for more than a days worth. If I go hunting, I would kill enough for at least a week. Ultimately, Robinson was very scared to travel around the island when the water was rough. I wouldn’t be scared to do that.

To summarize it up, I would recommend this book for anyone. I love this book, and for anyone that has affection for survival books, this is the book for you. You can learn from any part of this book. I would definitely suggest this book for a teacher because it would teach the students more than it would for the teacher to read anything else. The book has facts and questions with answers. I would also urge it to someone who wants to read a book for a project because it would be easy and you could get a high-quality grade on it. It would be very fun so you would want to finish it fast. All this happens if you try hard enough.
