Description

I often walked along the shore, and one day I saw something in the sand. I went over to look at it more carefully . . . It was a footprint - the footprint of a man!' In 1659 Robinson Crusoe was shipwrecked on a small island off the coast of South America. After fifteen years alone, he suddenly learns that there is another person on the island. But will this man be a friend - or an enemy?

This story was very interesting for me.
Robinson liked adventure very much, so often sailed somewhere. Then the boat which he got on was caught in the heavy storm, but only he was alive. However, that made him live alone in the island over twenty-seven years.
If I were he, I couldn't survive there.

Robinson Crusoe likes the sea and adventure very much.
But his adventurousness invited the disaster. His ship was wrecked and he alone survived. He started to live in a island. He worked hard to live. I cannot work hard just like him in this book.
LibraryThing member chi-ko
Robinson crusoe is the person who doesn't like quiet life at home. He sail Brazil, Africa, and strange, wild country...

I think he is an adventurer. My impressive word is "Parhaps, one day, someone will help me when I need it."by Portuguese captain, when Robinson tried to pey him.
