Robinson Crusoe

Daniel Defoe

In this story the main subject is when Robinson Crusoe gets stranded on a unoccupied island. While he meets some friends along the way. The setting is on some kind of island near the coast of Africa. This theme is like an adventure survival book, with some kind of twist. Like the fact that he got their in a ship wreck.

At first Robinson was wrecked at sea along with about 50 people. The worst part is that he was the only survive. He survived some hardships too, like when he was almost killed by pirates. Or when he found that a group of cannibals used the island for there human feasts. The climax is when he leaves all his troubles behind and ships off looking for Africa. But he got stuck in a storm and ended up on the island. The best part is at the end when he went back to England on a ship owned by a "friend".

In the beginning Robinson Crusoe was an adventures, and confused. I think that, because in the beginning all he wanted to do is sail and go to Africa. Also he would not want to listen to his parents when they said not to go. But then at the end of the book he learned to be a little more cautious and know that sometimes parents do give good advice.

I enjoyed this book because its like you are actually there on the island. It was a good tale of survival and coming home again.
