Book Summary (Robinson Crusoe) This term I read a novel which is called Robinson Crusoe. It is written by an English author who is named Daniel Defoe. It is one of the most popular adventure novels all over the world. The novel mainly tells us an Englishman who named Robinson was shipwrecked in a lonely tropical island. In order to survive, he built himself a house, grew his own corn, and fed his own poultry. Then he met with a group of cannibals and rescued one of their prisoners who he calls Friday. Crusoe and Friday become close friends, and they were finally rescued four years later and returned to England.In my opinion, there is no doubt that there is no perfect life in our world, it will always be difficult, but what we can do is to try our best to change our life to make it perfect. On account of the novel, when we are in difficulties, we may be confused, have fear, have complained even in despaired, but the most important thing what we should keep in mind is "Never give up.

Robinson Crusoe 读书报告
This book report is written for Jessica and the reading course. The book, whose title is Robinson Crusoe, is written by Daniel Defoe. The book has 313 pages and the publisher is Shanghai Translation Publishing House. It’s the first edition of the story in 2012. The reasons why I choose Robinson Crusoe to read are these as follows : One of the reasons is that I have seen several parts of the film of this book before, but I haven’t seen the book, I want to read the book and find some things may be different from the movie. Another reason is the life that the main character had when he was on the island really interested me.In my opinion, the main characters in the novel are Robinson Crusoe and Friday.I consider Robinson Crusoe as the main character. On the one hand, the novel was written by the view of Robinson, what the novel told us are all about Crusoe’s experience from the beginning to the end. For another hand, many good qualities can be seen from Crusoe, he is worth learning. I consider Friday as another main character is because Friday did many things for Crusoe faithfully, he was helpful and useful to Crusoe.The English captain, who helpfully brought Crusoe to Guinea, taught Crusoe some things that were needful. And Crusoe increased very considerably by the disinterested honesty of him. The English captain’s widow, who was as honest as the captain, loyally helped Crusoe keep the left 200 pounds. Xury, a slave that escaped from the Moorish captors with Crusoe, was sold to the Portuguese captain by Crusoe at last. The Portuguese captain saved Crusoe and took him to Brazil, then he helped Crusoe with Crusoe’s business.The novel is a narration telling stories about events that incredibly happened to Robinson Crusoe. He is the main character of the novel. It was happened in the 17 century in Britain, but it also involved other parts of the world, such as Brazil, Guinea and other unknown islands. It told us that Robinson Crusoe was trying to realize his dream of going to sea. In the end, Crusoe went to the island on which he spent 28 years again after returning to Britain.My final ideas on “Jane Eyre” are that it is really a wonderful story though I can not pretty sure that I have understood all parts of it. I like the book, for it states a kindof life which is so different and hardly imaged by us. It’s logical and fascinating. It makes us think deeply about a topic, which is about family and following our dreams. At the same time, I dislike some of Crusoe’s behaviors that made Friday as his own slave without obeying the principle of equal. However, it’s a common phenomenon at that time and it still has some good points. For example, Crusoe hated the unenlightened phenomenon that people ate each other on the island, it reflects human’s civilization and progress, it enlightens us to be the people who stress on decorum; It also tells us that we should learn to be independent; We can learn to be the people who are grateful for other’s help by Crusoe, etc. After reading the book, I learn that the art of living is to know when to hold fast and when to let go from Crusoe. In order to following his heart and dream, Crusoe is willing to give up his comfortable and carefree life. And he finally realizes his dream by his wise choice. In my opinion, the book is so worth reading that I will recommend it to others.。
A Book Report of Robinson Crusoe
A Book Report of Robinson CrusoeThe Robinson Crusoe I have read is a fiction about 247 pages, written by Daniel Defoe who is an English novelist, pamphleteer, journalist, and considered to be the founder of the English novel. The book was first published in 1719 which tells a story of a young explorer who becomes marooned on a deserted island, living for 28 years before he was rescued.The story takes place in the 1700s on a deserted island somewhere off the coast of Brazil. The main character in the book is a young man among the capitalist class named Robinson Crusoe. Rejecting the counsel of his father, Robinson sets out for a life of adventure. He goes through more than one before he is finally cast ashore on an island. Then the bulk of the novel focuses on Robinson’s life on the island —how he accomplishes his survival and even establishes his "kingdom"; how he adjusts himself well to the situation; how he meets and rescues Friday and, finally, how he leaves the island.First, I’d like to talk about the perspective. The whole story is written in the first person narrative which is simple, informal and extremely easy to understand.And I’m especially appreciated the experiences on the island which is written in a form of diary, because it is much easier and clearer for the readers to follow.Second, here are my views about the theme. The story focuses on the topic of survival, religion, colony and race and class relations. I’m deeply impressed by the survival topic. Although nature can change the way a man thinks and his outlook on life, human being can take control of it and shape it the way you need and survive well in it. Last but least, I’d like to present my points on characters. Defoe does an excellent job of introducing the character，especially the main character. From his description, I think that Robison Crusoe is a man has a temperamental predominance of courage over timidity, of the appetite for adventure over the love of ease. He is a hero with the disposition of confidence, self-respect, and independence. He is a pioneer and founder with honesty, wisdom, and strong will.In conclusion, it’s a prevailing book about a man’s survival in a deserted island in order to show capitalist class’s spirit of creating and opening up. I’m firmly recommended it.。

A Book Report of Robinson Crusoe
A Book Report of Robinson CrusoeHave you ever wondered what you would do if you were the only person on a desert island? How many days can you survive? Day or days? Daniel Defoe dramatizes such an experience in Robinson Crusoe, an adventure story about a man named Robinson Crusoe who is stranded on a desert island for 28 years. This book is one of the forerunners of the English realistic novel, which is based on a real experience of Alexander Selkirk, a Scottish castaway who lived four years on the Pacific island. Defoe develops the sailor's story with his own imagination. As the struggle of man vs. nature and man vs. man is so interesting to read, I keep my attention on the story until the very end. As a bourgeois writer, Daniel Defoe shows his ideas about the rising bourgeois class in his book. He creates the image of Robinson Crusoe, a typical of the rising English bourgeois class in the 18th century. Robinson Crusoe is a practical, diligent and religious person with a restless curiosity to know more about the world. He is never content with his current life and he is longing for adventures. All his characters indicate the bourgeoisie's dissatisfactions with their situations at that time and their desires for extension in the world. Another thing delivering through the whole story is individualism. With the influence of the Renaissance and the Industrial Revolution, more and more people are beinginterested in individualism, especially the bourgeois class. And from the story of Robinson Crusoe, we can see his desire to prove individual power in the face of social and natural challenges. Although his bad luck puts him alone on a desolate island, he doesn't lose his belief to survive. Alone on the island, Robinson Crusoe overcomes many difficulties: hunger, loneliness, the fight against disease etc. Of course he is only an ordinary person and he also has fears and gets puzzled at the beginning. We can see that he is in despair and questiones himself "Why did God put me on this island all alone ?" But later he gets out of despair and does all he can to find out ways to provide himself with residence, food, and tools. He salvages things from a wrecked ship and makes full use of them. Just as the proverb says, "God helps those who help themselves". With great will and strength, Robinson Crusoe creates for himself a kingdom by taming animals, gathering fruit, growing crops, and hunting. He also makes a calendar to remind himself of the world. It is his marvelous capacity for work, his boundless courage and energy in overcoming obstacles that make him a hero. And in the story, Daniel Defoe also sings the praises of human labour, presenting it as the source of pride and happiness as well as a means to change man's living conditions. However, Daniel Defoe also beautifies colonialism and slavery in the story., which I think isthe limitation of his class and the times. Obviously, Robinson Crusoe is a colonist. For example he puts up a sign as his landing monument after he sets foot on the island. He also thinks he owns Friday's life and wants Friday to be obedient just because he saves Friday and gives Friday a name as a man. Moreover, Robinson Crusoe's adventures are not only for survival, but also for occupancy of wealth and land. All in all, it's no wonder that Robinson Crusoe is a successful realistic novel. On one hand, it glorifies the individualism and tells a story of ordinary people in plain and simple language; on the other hand, it shows a vivid and positive picture of he rising English bourgeois class at its early stage of development.。

Ignoring father’s cautions, he runs away and slight misfortune happens in a row. He always gets through by his readiness and ingenuity.on a lonely island ,and then, out of the available resources salvaged from the ship and with what he could get from the desert island, he managed with his industriousness and knack to create an environment for himself-first sheltered himself against the wind and rain, defended himself against the possible attacks of wild animals, then built a house, grew barley and rice, domesticated goats, fought against cannibal savages coming from neighbouring islands, later rescued one savage named Friday from death and made him his servant, built a boat, and lived not uncomfortably on the lonely island for 28 years, then saved from death Friday’s father and a Spaniard and became the leader or master of the whole group, and finally saved the captain of an English ship from the mutineers and returned to England on that ship.When I meet with troubles and difficulties ,the image of Robinson comes into my mind ,I should learn from him,I think.

Your reflections on the book.(at least 300 words)字数:100~500 满分:100A Book ReportThe book about Robinson Crusoe was a masterpiece of Daniel. Defoe, which is a famous English writer, journalist and pamphleteer. His father was a small business man. Then he selected the business at first. Besides, he travels widely, with selling underwear, alcohol and tobacco, wool fabrics, brick industry early. At the same time, he also engaged in political activities. When he became old and weak, his children abandoned him, then Daniel. Defoe died miserably in 1731.However, his novels were written in his lateryears. His works have played a huge role in the development of British and European novels. Therefore, Daniel. Defoe was called "The Father of English and European Novel".Robinson Crusoe, Defoe's first novel, was published in 1719. The story was based on a sailor, Alexander Selkirk's true experience. Defoe inspired by this true story to written the "Robinson Crusoe". Robinson Crusoe, the main character, was born in a rich family. His parents have great expectations for him, hoping him to become a lawyer and live a comfortable life. However, Crusoe abandoned himself to adventure, setting his mind to make his living by going to the sea. He thought nothing could be more fantastic than adventure and creation in the world, and without this, life would be meaningless. Attracted by the outside world and the expansive sea, Crusoe went to the sea several times. Each time, after going through such hardship, Crusoe determined to return to his parents and never does thatagain. However, due to his dissatisfaction of the ordinary life and his curiosity of the vast sea, Crusoe decided to have a sea journey again. Unfortunately,one time the shipwreck made Crusoe come to a desolate island, where he lived for 28 years. The main idea of this book is to show the quality of diligence as well as the indomitable spirit of labor.After reading Robinson Crusoe, I was deeply moved by Crusoe for his strong will and positive attitude towards the hardship and towards the tough life. For one thing, As Albert Einstein said, "Weakness of attitude becomes weakness of character". I will choose to have inspiring, positive thoughts instead of depressing, negative thoughts. Provided that Crusoe dropped himself when he came to the deserted island because he didn't know to do anything, the only result is that he would die directly. A positive attitude is the motivation of doing anything. For another thing, just as the saying goes:" Where there is a will, there is a way". Due to his hard work and exploring spirit, also his willpower and optimism, Crusoe accomplished a lot and got great ability. Let us bear this motto in mind no matter how much thunders and thorns there are on our road ahead, and then we will be successful with such precious and powerful spirit. In short, a positive attitude is of the greatest importance in our life.。

三. Comments
ROBINSON CRUSOE is read as eagerly today as when it was first published. The book is a very product of its time, and it has attained a high position in the literature of the world. Not only is Robinson Crusoe an extremely well written, but it was the first of its kind. This book is made up of many short stories tied together in following the main character. The character grows and matures through his trials and becomes a man worthy of emulation(仿效), which also displays the creative and pioneering spirit of the bourgeois rising period
Defoe’s language reveals classic appreciation of the English language that really appealed to me as a reader. Most of his language are informal and plain .Firstly, he uses a lot of contractions, like “there’s”,“wasn’t”, and so on. Secondly, in some place “that” are left out, before an object clause, for instance, “I thought I heard the sound of guns”. The most important thing is the story is made up of informal words and single words, which make the story more vivid and less bookish. His narrative accounts of adventure, shipwrecks and survival are precise and captivating. The novel adopts the first-person in the narrative and memoir form, its style is simple but inviting. Defoe also shows brilliant insight into humanity through his writing as his main character. I enjoyed the spiritual aspects of the book.
But it lacks something because it isn’t true. The text is repetitive(反复的) and extremely preachy（说教的）. These phenomena are somewhat interesting the first time around, but Defoe never risks saying something only once. Many parts of it tend(趋向)to unbelievable, like when the shipwrecked sailor discovers a miraculous（奇迹般的）tree
that grows quickly and sturdily（生长力强的）wherever he puts it. Some
of the scenes that should be exciting but it’s fail to be, because the language of the early 1700s doesn’t lead itself well to action.
Generally speaking, Robinson Crusoe is a great work, because it teaches us to be tough and optimistic no matter how hard we are facing.。
