Daniel Defoe is an adventure fiction writer, and his writing embodies the spirit of adventure, which presents the tremendous power of human being and their wits and courage. The story happened in the middle of 17th century, and in this period of time, the development of bourgeoisie stimulate many people to search for wealth. Robinson, the shape he is a representative of the emerging capitalist class, an idealized hero. In the story, Robinson’s adventurous spirit goes through the whole story, and as a reader, I am deeply inspired by his self-reliant, courageous, heroic, and resourceful life experience.

The story of Robinson Crusoe can be divided into three parts: Robinson’s youth and the time up to his shipwreck; his twenty-eight years on an uninhabited island; his lie and adventures after being rescued from the island.

In the first part, Robinson wishes to pursue his livelihood by going to sea. Although his father wants him to live a peaceful life, his thoughts are entirely bent upon seeing the world, and he should never settle to anything with enough resolution to go through with it. He is not restless and alive and never satisfied, and finally he escapes. As a son, he can just stay at home, inheriting his father’s wealth and living a comfortable life. However, he doesn’t. He tries his best to venture, no matter what ventures there will be, and he pursues his dreams without hesitating to escape from dangers. It inspires me in my struggles, when I am satisfied with my current situation, I feel ashamed comparing to Robinson’s chase. Robinson offers me a kind of mental strength which motivates me to forge ahead. Without being afraid of hardship, he goes forward bravely, satisfying his curiosity and achieving his dream.

The critical part of the story should be the second part. Here I get to know how he accomplishes his survival and even establishes his "kingdom"; how he moves from a frantic state of discontent to one of resignation and contentment; how he meets Friday and, finally, how he leaves the island. Before reading this novel，I have never got a concept of living in an isolated island, sometimes I even think that it’s not very difficult to live. When reading it, I was not inspired by Robinson’s spirit, but also the challenging way of living. He builds house for himself, considering all possible shortcomings with his logical mind; he trains goats for milk and meat; he grows corns to make bread; he dries the grapes; etc. He never shrinks, even when he himself lives in the island. He is so confident and determined that he finds ways to make a good living. Robinson did it, and in a perfect way. What he has done, represents the characters of a true hero, true man. I feel unprecedented admiration for him, and I am deeply encouraged that we human beings can achieve what we want to if we have persistence and confidence. The most impressive part to me lies in his chase of knowledge, he finds a Bible to read, which comfort him in mind and makes him still feel thankful to god under such circumstances. If it was me, I can’t read books there,

and I feel guilty that I have a good chance to read books but I never relish. Besides, he is not contented with his life, and he always seeks for new challenges, which may ruin what he has in present. It is really very hard for common people to be, it is not easy to find a shelter in an island, and most people would be thankful to their being living. However, he never stops his steps of venturing, even when he meets the savage, he rescues Friday, to the most important, he never feel regretful of escaping from his warm family. His continued pioneering spirit motives readers to be inspired, and motives me to struggle for my life. For me, I realized that life is full of amazements, and we have to move forward all the time, in order to refresh our spirit. It is important that whatever we come across, we should have a calm mind, and try every means to overcome difficulties.

The third part of the novel traces Robinson’s securing of wealth through the honesty and loyalty of friends, his return to England, travels through the continent and a last trip to his island to see how those he left there fared. Even sometimes there seems everything miserable, however, when there is a will, there is a way, never lose confidence, and there is a bright future. Robinson has been away for 28 years that it becomes totally a harsh place for him to exist, because his intelligence and calmness, he possesses a large fortune. It tells that a capable person is the most powerful weapon of living.

The writer shapes a very successful character by using plain language and natural description. The story inspires me a lot in following my dreams, and gives me courage in overcoming difficulties on the way of exploring.

I was deeply attracted by the spirit embodied in the story. In each period of Robinson’s life, he performs the way of searching and persisting, which makes me excited and encouraged, and the truth is, I will persist in everything necessary. And I believe that I can follow Robinson’s example, and finally soar my dreams without a sense of regret.

《鲁滨逊漂流记》读书报告

作者：笛福

观看时间：2013-2-12

主人公：鲁滨逊。

生存是人的本能。可是，现在的人谁还有像野人一样的生存本能？看啊！那豪华的酒楼房子，五星级宾馆餐厅，奢华名贵的手表西服？现在的人们都已经适应了这样的环境。能使这环境变得更好的是科技。最特殊的是钱，银子。是随着科技有价值。以前一台电脑，特大，不如现在好使，一万多。现在，一台以前的电脑等于垃圾，和废品没两样。可是，你们可曾想过，在一个脱离了社会的地方，有钱没货，人不就完了？

我要介绍的是笛福的作品《鲁滨逊漂流记》。我相信有很多人看过这部小说。《鲁宾孙漂流记》讲述了出生于中资产阶级家庭的鲁宾孙不顾海上的风险及父亲的反对三次出海经商，在巴西建立了种植园。不安分的天性促使他将种植园托付给友人，从巴西再度搭上商船前往非洲。途中商船遭遇飓风，触礁沉没，船上人员悉数遇难，仅鲁宾孙一人幸存。他漂流到南美洲海上的一个荒岛，凭借自己的聪明才智和勇气，利用破船上残留的一切物质及工具修建住所，种植粮食，驯养家畜，制造工具，缝制衣服，并多次伐木做舟，试图回到大陆。一次，他从一群吃人的土著人手中解救了一个野人，

并且给他取名为“星期五”，鲁宾孙教他说我们的语言，向他传播基督教义，使“星期五”成为他忠实的仆人及朋友。后来他们帮助一个被叛变的水手抛弃的船长，巧施计谋，夺回了船只。鲁宾孙终于结束了他为期28年的与世隔绝的生活，重返故土。

听了这段概括，是不是已经理解了其中的意思？是的，连我都看懂了。鲁滨逊在岛上的时候钱连鸟粪都不如。在有钱没货的情况下，货更重要，只有在有货没钱的情况下，钱更重要。钱？只是用来交换货物的带物品。

鲁滨逊漂流记其实不仅仅歌颂的是这个，更重要的是，他歌颂了鲁滨逊冒险、自强、乐观的品质，赞扬和肯定了不懈努力与永不言弃的精神。
