Reading summary of Robinson Crusoe

I once read a book named Robinson Crusoe. It is really a great book and it touches me a lot.

Once upon a time there was a man named Robinson. He is an Englishman. He loved sailing and taking risks. He visited a great number of places around the world, and met many risks.

He once went to South America by sea. At that time, he was caught in a strong wind. The wind was so strong that it blew down the mast. The ship turned over and Robinson’s friends all died. Only Robinson was alive and he swam to an island where nobody lived. He was cold and hungry. But he never gave up and he found many things in the ship that can help him. Then he lived in the island.

After 26 years, Robinson rescued a wild man called Friday. Because of Friday’s help, Robinson finally took a ship back to England after 28 years.

Robinson was really excellent. He had no food, no water, no guns, and nothing that could help him. Most of people would give up at that time, but Robinson didn’t. Luckily, the ship sailed to the coast and Robinson found food, water, guns and many other things. He lived in a difficult life that others could not believe. He met a lot of difficulties. But he was always very calm. He used his hands to build a lot of things. Although he was very lonely, he was still very hopeful. He never gave up so he finally succeeded.

Now, we live in a wonderful life. We have big houses, beautiful rooms, plenty of delicious foods, expensive cars, computers, televisions, and a great number of things that can make us happy. But Robinson didn’t have these. He lived in a lone island, slept in a small cave, ate lambs that he killed by himself. We travel to many other places those are quite beautiful. But Robinson lived in a same island for 28 years. We always complain that the life is so dark, that we cannot live. But Robinson didn’t complain, he was always very hopeful. Now, everyone is very friendly to us, we are very safe. But Robinson must face the wild people. They were very dangerous because they ate people. But Robinson won. He killed the wild man and got a big ship. He never gave up that he thought he would go back to his home one day. And he did it. Compare with Robinson, the difficulties in our life is much smaller than Robinson’s. So we shouldn’t complain about the difficulties. We should be brave and find the way to solve the problems. Although there are many difficulties, we should keep our mind cool and never feel bitter about the difficulties.

Robinson Crusoe was written by Daniel Defoe. He was an Englishman. He lived in the period that England was developed. At that time, many people worked a lot to let the country run. This story tells us we should confront the difficulties and be hopeful. We should never give up. When we meet big problems, we should try to solve them. And when you always persist to work, you will be successful in the end.

Never Give Up

Every day, we have to face lots of difficulties in study or in daily lives. Some people are afraid of them and just escape from the problems or even give up their dreams, their lives. However, some people choose to be brave and try to come up with some ways to overcome the difficulties, just like Robinson Crusoe.

Robinson is the leading character in "Robinson Crusoe". He was a navigator in the book. During the sailing to Brazil, the ship caught into a huge tsunami and a big storm. The ship and everyone except Robinson on it were drowned in the ocean. He was so lucky that he drifted to a deserted island alone. Robinson had lived on the island for twenty-eight years with his courage and perseverance. Eventually, he went back to England with the help of a captain who he saved.

After reading the book ROBINSON CRUSOE,I was like having a long magic dream.It seemed like that I went to the island with Robinson.

When the character Robinson was a child,he dreamed of going to sea all day.After being persuaded by his parents for many times,he still did not give up his idea.When he grew up a little,one day,he went sailing with friends without the permission of his

parents’. He had ever gone to sea for business three times,but he failed at last time.In a huge tsunami and storms,all their ships sunk down and all were drowned,just one person survived—that was him.Then he struggled with hardship,finally,he landed on the island that located in the sea of South America.It was an island that there is no human habitation,he had been lived on it for twenty-eight years alone. How to arrange the life, how does the hunt, and rescued from the savage how captive, and finally how to return to the motherland rescued,which are the most absorbing things for me to go on reading.

He lived alone,working hard,and struggled with the nature and local savages.Under such a poor condition like that,he took away something useful from the broken ship,and made full use of

everything that can be gotten.He even kept some animals ,such as dog,cat,parrot and so on.He planted crops and cooked by himself.He learned how to live step by step from his life

experience.He created a small country by his own hands,and he became the king of it.Then,he caught up a savage to be his servant.Robinson called him Friday because he caught him on Friday.He taught Friday everything and lived with him

together.Later,Robinson saved a capital who was betrayed by his sailors.They decided to get back ships ,so they made a series of plans.Finally,they succeed and went back to the motherland.It had been thirsty-five years for Robinson’s absence.

Robinson was a strong-minded person,he ever said,”I will not give up until success,that is my temper.””I will try my best as long as I can arm pull,I can’t be drown;as long as I can stand up,I will not fall down.”He did not have any assistant,also enough tools,and he was lack of experience,which made him much harder to do such things,and it costed him for a long time.Althought sometimes his efforts would be in vain,he never gave up and not disappointed.He just did this thing again and again,like summing up experience and starting from the beginning again and again.At last,hard work resulted in good harvest:he had ship to use,some bread to eat,a lot of potteries,plantation estate,pasture,and two

“luxurious”houses to live.None of these things did not need overcome many difficulties and a great deal of efforts.

Robinson thought that nothing in the world that human beings can not deal with,as long as they use their wisdom and their hands,all can be solved under these.

But if I were him,what should I do?I do not know how to deal with in that situation,and I am afraid of loneliness very much.Maybe I can not live on the island where was no man.What’s more,I have to admit that I am not a brave girl,and my lacking of living

independently.If I were him, I probably will give up,and wait to death.To face the sudden disaster ,I can not do as what he did because I can not help myself because I do not have that power.Furthermore,I will feel lonely if nobody talks with me.I might not be as optimistic as Robinson.

I pick out some beautiful sentences that I like most:

“It was in vain to sit still and wish for what was not to be had;and this extremity roused my application.”

I used to finish my homework before the deadline,which makes me very hurried,and there always something goes with wrong.I always just sit and wait,what I am waiting for?As a matter of fact,I do not know at all,but I am not willing to try.After reading the book,I will not do it again.Practice makes perfect,I need try more times,which can make me easily get closer to what I want. “I have saved your life on no other terms than I would be glad to be saved myself;and it may,one time or other,be my lot to be taken up in the same condition.”

It teaches me that considering more for others.Everyone may someday be in trouble,if you help other people to cope with their problems,and your own will be easier to cope with.I would like help others when they are in trouble,so that others will help me when I am in trouble in return.In this way everybody can live a happy life.

Everyone may experience many difficulties and troubles in all his lifetime,perhaps we face these difficulties,however,how to solve them?How can we keep a clear mind?Our parents can help us when we are young,but how about being adults?We should try to face them and deal with them by ourselves,learning to live independently.

I have learned a lot from this book.Life will not go smoothly,and there usually are some hardships in front of you and wait you to go through.When we face adverse situation,we should learn to face the reality and find hope in despair.I believe that overcome all the difficulties ,victory will eventually come.And after experiencing trials and hardships ,rainbow will be even more brilliant!

When I lay down on my bed in the evenings,closing my eyes,a picture appears in my mind:a blue deep vast ocean,a lonely island in the distance.And on the island,only the birds are singin

g,the sheep are running,the trees are growing up,the green is new,and the fragrant flowers are in their bloom.Gradually,there is a leaf boat paddle with a strong wind overturned his boat, and only one person who drifted into this deserted island—He is Robinson. Believe me,insisting in the end and struggling in the end, if so, victory will belong to you. Because, persisting in the end, the

struggle of the magic and hope, it will help you go through life.Go at life with abandon;give it all you have got.And life will give all it has to you.
