Book review 1-6


I read “Robinson Crusoe”. The genre is adventure. The reason why I want to read this book is that this work is famous all over the world and I did not know the story exactly.

Robinson is born in York in England. He wants adventure and an exciting life. Then he says that he wants to be a sailor and go to sea, but his parents do not agree to his suggestion. However, one day a friend of him invites him a voyage. He is pleased at that time, but he goes through the terrible voyage because of a strong wind and many dangerous events. As the months passed, he goes to sea again with his friends in 1659. However, it is the most dangerous voyage. The terrible storm is around his ship, and they are all fallen in the water. Robinson wake up and finds that he is alone in a desert island. Then he decides to live in the island until a ship comes about. He makes his house, bag, clothes, and many things which are useful in his life. One day, He watches lights at the sea shore. There are wild men and they are singing and shouting over eating or drinking. He is afraid of their behaviors. Then, he finds human bones in their pan and a man sitting near a tree. He helps him and calls “Man Friday”. Their new life begins and ends in 1686. A great ship is near the island. The seamen take the captain of the ship. The seamen are mutineers! They make him sit down under the tree and prepare killing and eating him. As soon as Robinson and Friday helped him, they prepare fighting against them. Robinson’s team could beat them. The captain takes Robinson and Friday to York. He comes back to his home town and marries. He goes to sea again, and has many more adventures.

After finish reading this work, I thought that Robinson was tough man. He had lived in the desert island for twenty-seven years. It was very tiring and boring for me. If somebody drifted there and found he/she was alone, he/she would become mad or suicide. However, Robinson never lost his wish. In addition, he made many essential goods and made his living. In the result, he could come back to England again. I think it is very important for us to have fortitude and sliver of life.
