Rating: 4

Would you ever think of being stranded on an uninhabited Island for many years? In the book Robinson Crusoe, Robinson did exactly that! On the Island his first challenge was to find something to eat. He had only a bit of powder and shot and he needed to keep it to protect himself. He tried to find some grain. When he found a container with some crumbs of seed, not enough to make bread, he empty it on the ground thinking he could use the container for water. Another big challenge was seeing if there were any large ferocious animals that he needed protection from. So he took a horn of powder and shot and set out to look for wild animals. He returns later to his camp and finds tiny sprouts growing where he dumped the seed from the cast. He takes half of the harvest of rice, wheat, and barley, and makes bread. The other half he planted a small distance away. He also planted trees to conceal his campsite. He dug a large cave in the hill behind his small forest of trees. Do you think this Island has ever been touched by humans before? That questioned was answered when Robinson was taking a walk down by the ocean and came across an abandoned campsite with human bone everywhere! Who or what could have done this? This question was asked by Robinson. A few years later Robinson had a dream of savages that came with four humans to be devoured for a feast. When the forth one was to be killed they untied him and he escaped. Was this dream fact or fiction?

Having been on an Island seven and twenty years, two months, and nineteen days Robinson Crusoe finally got to leave his small Island, leaving behind three men, from the original five that tried to betray a captain of the ship that Robison Crusoe went home in. The most important lesson I learned is that if I get ship wrecked I will use the best of my resources without wasting anything. The first things that I would do, would be to find a place for shelter and find something to eat that I could multiply.
