                Have you ever or listened to story about man who want to around the world? I bet you have. How about a story of the man who was come and life in unidentified island? If you have not read that kind of book try to read Daniel Defoe’s Robinson Crusoe. The story takes place at an island. This book is very exciting and can’t stop before have finish to read this book, and those are my reason for choosing this book for my book report.
                The main character in the book is Robinson Crusoe, the man was born in York and want to begin a new life going to the sea and see the world. Robinson Crusoe life with his father and his mother. His father was born in Germany came to York when he was a young man. Robinson started to the sea for the first in 1st september 1651 with his friend and his friend’s father.
                The story started after he met and talk about their future. 1st september 1651, they left hull. The ship’s journey was from Hall to London. First night at sea there was a heavy storm. He was afraid and wanted to be at home in York. First journey was bad, his father friend said the sea is not the place for him after they are get the big storm at Yarmouth.

His used his money for a very long journey to Brazil. 1659 his left Brazil for Africa, after twelve days at ship there was a great storm, they find land but his friend were dead. He found the good place for his home near the top of hill, he made the cave large and put his things inside. His come to this island on 30 september 1659. Because just him in this island he say this as his country. He found dead men’s bones, and watch for the cannibals. One day when the cannibals come near his house again he kill two cannibals. He found the prisoner of cannibals people. After twenty five years, some body spoke to him.

Robinson help his family and he found his girl and married with her. In 1694, Robinson and  Friday went beck to their island. There were a lot of men and women there now. They also visited Brazil and sent more people and animal to their island. Robinson will live in his island again in the future. But will be a different story.
                I think this story is worth to read, because in this story tell a bout a Robinson as a people doesn’t tired to try for survive when he just life alone in unidentified island, and he want to help some one who his doesn’t know. Robinson’s character is really good.
