Robinson was born into a "decent family" in Yorktown, England, and his father wanted him to live a "stable and affluent" middle class.

life, but since he was a child, his mind was full of the desire to travel the world.

In 1651, he left his family without permission, and after some adventures at sea, he went to London, where he bought some cheap goods, such as fake beads, toys, knives, scissors, glassware, etc., to do business in Africa, and exchanged valuable materials such as gold and ivory with the local natives, and obtained dozens of times the profit.

Robinson's father had expected his son to study law, but Robinson was bent on sailing. One day, when Robinson was on his way to Hull, one of his companions was about to take his father's ship to London, and he was so moved that he went with him—it was August 1651, when he was nineteen years old. As soon as the ship was broken and sailed out of the sea, he encountered a terrible wind and waves, which made him feel indescribably sad and frightened.

He swore in anguish that if God left his life on this voyage, he would stay with his loving parents after he landed on land, and that he would henceforth obey their advice. But the next day the wind stopped, and the waves stopped.

The sun was sinking in the west, and a beautiful and lovely evening followed, and then, after drinking a bowl of sweet wine made by his companion, he threw away his determination to return home after this voyage.

The main content of Chapter 5:

The first time he failed to grow barley and rice, there was still much to be done to ensure that he could survive on this island. Robinson did as many things as he could. But his efforts are not always lucky.

When he first planted the seeds of barley and rice, half of these precious stocks were wasted because they were sown at the wrong time.

Background of creation

Defoe lived at a time when British capitalism began to develop on a large scale. In 1702, he published "The Shortcut to the Elimination of Different Sects", which satirized the religious policy of **, and was therefore sentenced to three shackles.

After being released from prison, he engaged in newspapers and periodicals, and also wrote a lot of small political and economic pamphlets, and three times because of his speech. In 1719, Defoe published his first book, Robinson Crusoe.

This small metaphor is based on Alexander Selkirk's real-life experiences on a desert island. According to a British magazine report at the time, in April 1704, Selkirk defected at sea and was abandoned by the captain on a small island called Masazer in the Juan Fernández Islands, more than 900 kilometers off the coast of Chile.

He was rescued after 4 years and 4 months by a navigator.

By that time, Selkirk had forgotten the language of man and had become a complete savage. Inspired by this event, Defoe conceived Robinson's story. However, in the process of creation, Defoe started from his own perception and feelings of the times, and created the image of Robinson with the adventurous and enterprising spirit of the bourgeois rise and the colonial spirit of the 18th century.

The main story is that when Robinson went to England, the family thought he was gone, so they didn't share the inheritance with him, and he now has nothing, but fortunately his old friend, the captain, helped him, and gave him back the dry factory he used to have, and the sugar cane farm now has a lot of money, and the captain owes him a lot of money.

The compilation highlights the excitement of his money, and there is such a sentence that this good news is that my face is pale for a moment, and if it were not for this old man who came to me in time to bring me a little strong nectar, I believe that this sudden surprise would have destroyed my experience, and I would have died on the spot.

This sentence uses words such as pale and uncomfortable to vividly show the difficulty of the Robinson family in recording and emotions calmly after acquiring great wealth, and then provokes thoughts for the following.

The first 12 chapters mainly show us that Robinson sincerely repays those who have helped him in the school, and the image of an English gentleman who is full of love and affection and true pictures is displayed in our minds.
