Robinson Crusoe was born into a respectable merchant family, eager to sail, and wanted to see abroad. He went out to London with his father, and went to London to buy some fake beads and toys to do business in Africa.
On the fourth voyage, the ship was caught in a storm on the way, and all the shipmates were killed, but Robinson survived and drifted to a lonely island. He used the mast of the sunken ship to make a raft, and again and again brought the food, clothes and guns and ammunition to the shore, and set up his tent on the hill to settle down. Then he used sharpened stakes to fence around the tent and dig in after the tent. He used simple tools to make furniture such as tables, chairs and other furniture, hunting game for food, drinking fresh water in the stream, and passing through the initial difficulties.
He began to grow barley and rice on the island, and made his own wooden mortar, pestle, sieve, and flour, and baked rough bread. He captured and domesticated wild goats to breed. He also made pottery and so on, which ensured his life. A "country house" and a farm have been built on the other side of the desert island. Even so, Robinson has not given up on finding a way to leave the island. He cut down a big tree and spent five or six months making it into a canoe, but the boat was too heavy for him to pull down, so he had to abandon it and rebuild a small boat. After living alone on the island for 15 years, Crusoe found a footprint on the shore of the island. Before long, he found traces of human bone and fire, where a group of wild men had held a meat feast. Robinson was amazed. Since then, he has been vigilant, paying more attention to things around him. Until the 24th year, a group of savages came to the island, taking prisoners ready to kill and eat. Robinson found out and rescued one of them. Because it was Friday, Robinson named the rescued prisoner "Friday". After that, "Friday" became Robinson's faithful servant and friend. Next, Robinson rescued a Spanish man and Friday's father with Friday. Soon a British ship anchored near the island, the ship sailor insurgency, three people abandoned on the island, such as the captain and Robinson "Friday" help the captain overpowered the rebellion sailor, regain the ships. He left the sailors on the island, and returned to England with "Friday" and the captain. Robinson has been away from home for 35 years (28 years on the island). He married in England and had three children. After his wife's death, Robinson went out to sea again, on the deserted island where he had lived, and the sailors and spaniards who had stayed on the island had made their home. Crusoe sent some new settlers, gave them the land, and left them with all their daily necessities, and left the island with satisfaction.
The era of Defoe's life was the age when British capitalism began to develop on a large scale. In 1702, he was arrested and sentenced to three flails for his publication of "a shortcut to the elimination of different sects", which satirized the government's religious policies. After he got out of prison, he worked as an editor in the newspaper and wrote a number of political and economic pamphlets, and he was arrested three times for his remarks. In 1719, Defoe published his first novel, Robinson Crusoe.
The novel is based on the real experience of Alexander selkirk on a desert island. According to the British magazine reports: in April 1704, self kirk mutiny at sea, the captain left in more than 900 kilometers off the coast of Chile, Juan fernandez islands of massa jie, who is a small island. Four years and four months later, he was rescued by the navigator. At that time, selkirk had forgotten the human language and became a savage. Defoe was inspired by this and conceived the story of Robinson. But in the process of the creation of the novel, Defoe from one to the look and feel of the era of, during the bourgeois rise to adventure and enterprising spirit and the spirit of 18th century colonial shaped Robinson this image.
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.
