Have you ever been alone for a long time? Can you stay on a solitary island for almost 30 years? Do you know how to make clothes with animals’ furs and build a house by yourself? The answers to these questions are obvious—No, we can’t, at least most of us can’t. But one person can do those things. Who is he? He is Robinson Crusoe. Actually, Robinson Crusoe is not a person in reality. He is just a man created by Daniel Defoe, a prestigious writer in England who used to be a spy and a reporter.
Robinson was a young man who hated the monotonous life in England and wanted to become a sailor. Despite of the prevention of his father, he decided to travel around the world by ship. Robison is a brave explorer, wonderful sailor, and a clever man. With his strong (tenacious) willpower and determination, his dream became true. He had the courage to fight with the bad environment, and worked hard. Robison challenged himself to adversity and did something special.
Robinson was called a brave explorer, because he had a lot of amazing experiences, and never was afraid of the wild animals and people. Robinson was also a wonderful sailor for he was the only one who survived.
Simultaneously,he was also a clever man: He made a house with a strong fence just using the ship’s sails, ropes, and pieces of wood. In the evening, there was no light. But Robinson was a man full of ideas; he found out that the fat of dead animals can be used to make light. From then on, the island was in light. Some time later, maybe about 23 years later, Robison saved a wild man, the man was so grateful to him. Robison called the man “man Friday” and they went back to England together. The psychologist said “The desire to suffer and conquer danger is human nature”, but what supported Robinson to live in the solitary island for 27 years? Well, as I see it, it is mainly due to his courage.
This book tells me that only if we persevered unremittingly, and were not afraid of any problem, could we overcome all the difficulties and be a successful man who laughs to the end.
And right after I had finished reading, this book influenced me a lot. I still remember the first time when I took part in “New concept English reciting competition”.
I used to believe that all the contestants are elite, and they all are the brightest students. I just think I am so negligible that no one will notice me. Time passed quickly, the day of quarter final came. I had hesitated for a long time. Should I enter the competition? Or, should I wait for another chance? Just as I was shilly-shally, I came across a book by chance. And I also came across a comment about the book The life and Strange Surprising Adventures of Robinson Crusoe, which influenced me a lot in my later study and life. I like this story very much and like Robinson’s bravery, cleverness, especially his great courage, so I read the comment on the book carefully, think entirely and critically and really learn a lot from this book and its hero. Up to now, I still could remember some of the famous words. And I do realize that I should be a person like Robinson - a man who has tenacious willpower and courage, who is brave enough to challenge everything.
Well, I think you all know the result without my telling you. I entered the contest, and won the third prize. The fact proves everything. You just should need to be brave, just like me, especially like Robinson, and I think then it is just you not others that will be the last winner. Trust me! Robinson and his great courage and bravery will always be with us.
Come on, guys! Be yourself and advance bravely. Success is not far away with you!
