The paper aims to analyze Crusoe’s character.

Character Analysis of Robinson Crusoe

The first time I chose to read the 《The Tom of Sawyer》and delivered the reading diary to my professor, but I made a ridiculous mistake that the writer of the

《The Tom of Sawyer》was not British. I thought for a long time, but there was no idea in my mind. From my childhood, my brother took great influence on me. In my memory, he liked the adventure stories, especially the 《Robinson Crusoe》。So I chose to read the 《Robinson Crusoe》without doubt. As I read this book in depth，I found that I really like it than I expected. So I gave my most part of my spare time to read this it. Now, I want to avail this opportunity to share some valuable things to you.

As we all know，《Robinson Crusoe》is regarded as the literature masterpieces. I think most of us are familiar with this work from our childhood. We can enjoy Daniel Defoe’s fluent writing styles, vivid and detailed descriptions, which will place us in that specific period’s history and culture. I am attracted by the hero’s characters.

If someone asks me why I am so particularly impressed by this work, I will tell him I am inspired by the hero without hesitation. Maybe most of us will give up our dream, if there many people go against you. Robinson encourage himself to realize his dream. Everyone have a dream when he or she reaches to a certain age. As Robinson did, many times we don't want to listen to our parents' word without any reason. This may be a kind of treachery mental state. Many people in today’s society, they have affluent family, much of them will feel satisfied with their live. They will not create wealth any more. We give them a nickname” Neets”. At last, they have no survival skill to live in this real world。

Strong will and infinite wisdom of Robinson Crusoe When I read this before, I learn from my brother that Robinson was survived in that island more than 28 years. I was shocked by that news. There many problems in my mind, how can a people live in an island so many years with no people to talk and accompany? How he survived with no food and clothes? After I read the book, I especially admire his strong will and infinite wisdom. When he was drifted to an island, he did not panic and fear, but he took actions to protect him and found ways to leave the island. There was no way out, the second step was to create a homeland on the island. From these, we can have many evident to show that he was a smart sailor. If this happened to us, we would scared to death，especially we have no life experience. Crusoe availed his wisdom to save the savage “Friday”, that chapter is my favorite.

We learn that we must be optimistic to our life from 《Robinson Crusoe》.On the one hand, we should not to give up our original dream for the influence of the external factors. Everything in the world is not easy; we should stick to our original dreams. There is an old saying “There is a will, there is a way”. I believe all of us will have a bright future. On the other hand, if we confront the difficulties, we should take the positive attitude to deal with it. We can take advantage of our wisdom to find the solutions. If you give up, everything will fail.
