If I were him - my thoughts after reading "Robinson Crusoe"
The British novelist Defoe's " "Robinson Crusoe" describes the legendary story of the protagonist drifting on the island, overcoming difficulties, and starting a business with hard work. The novel is written in a real and natural way, full of legendary color. The protagonist grows crops and builds wooden houses on the isolated island, and survives with great hardships. But His eagerness to return to the human world made him obsessively think about how to get out of this ghost place. However, he failed and finally returned to England in 1687 after 28 years of absence. Turning to the first page of the book: "I would like to dedicate this book to those young friends who are always dependent on their parents and school." When I read this sentence from the title page, I had a deep interest in this book. An inexplicable aversion. Willfulness, squeamishness, strong dependence and poor hands-on ability. These are indeed the shortcomings of most of us. But we are not willing to admit these. Don’t we also want to do better? But why, the people around us Why do people always put this "hat" on us? When I solemnly turned the last page and read this story with twists and turns and ups and downs, I think I was really shocked. It was a story. A kind of spiritual shock. Question marks can't help but linger in my mind. If I were Robinson... If I were him, when the ship crashed in the storm, I would not bow to fate and continue sailing like him. No? No, if I had a choice, I would not accept a life full of difficulties and setbacks, because I don’t have the self-confidence. If I were him, I would be alone on a desert island, and I would not be able to accept the consequences every day. When the earth fails, will I not give up on myself and rekindle the hope of life like him? No, in the face of sudden disasters, I cannot adapt to the times and actively save myself like him, because I don't have that ability. What if? I am him. When I see the savages having a banquet with their own kind, will I stand up bravely like him and fight with them with only one assistant? No, I would rather hide far away and pray. They should never discover me, because I don’t have that kind of courage. I have to admit my weakness and incompetence. From the time I was born to the time I put my schoolbag on my back, my parents and the school have paved the way for us to grow. I can walk on this smooth road with peace of mind. I have gone through year after year without setbacks or storms, and I still complain about this and that all day long. In fact, I have never chewed the bitterness in life. I am happy. However, in happiness, I have not experienced it at all. Realizing that it is a great joy to be able to have enough food and clothing, go to school with a schoolbag on your back, receive care from your family every day, and receive attention from society.
Reflections after reading "Robinson Crusoe"
After reading the wonderful novel "Robinson Crusoe", a tall image always appeared in front of my eyes. He was the brave explorer and navigator Robinson. With his tenacious perseverance and never-giving-up spirit, he realized his dream of sailing. I seemed to see a person standing on the deck of the ship: he gave up his wealthy and comfortable life, hated the mediocre life, and thus began a great survival challenge to duel with the god of death. All kinds of misfortunes and difficulties did not overwhelm Robinson, but made him stronger. The difficulties God gave to Robinson were also more challenging for him! Storm and tsunami, no one on the ship except Robinson was spared. The real survival challenge has just begun! Living on an isolated island, in order to find a suitable place to live, he ran on the shore all day and found a shelter under a rock. Robinson built a tent at the foot of the hill, and it was as big as possible, with a few wooden stakes inside to hang the hammock. The next day, he piled all the boxes, planks, and raft materials into a temporary fence for defense. But only ten days later, a landslide suddenly occurred. Robinson not only transported the fallen loose soil out, but also installed a ceiling and supported it with pillars below to avoid another landslide disaster. Never give up, Robinson laid the foundation of life.
Once, the chaff that Robinson accidentally dropped in the corner unexpectedly grew green stems. Soon, dozens of ears grew. This was really a blessing from God. From then on, Robinson would sow half of the seeds in the rainy season to experiment in order to get more food. In the worst experiment, the harvest of barley and rice ears was only half a bushel. However, after this experiment, Robinson became a master of farming. Knowing when to sow, now he knows to sow twice and reap twice throughout the year. Never give up, Robinson has the food of life. After returning to his hometown to build a ship, Robinson spent several years and countless efforts. It would take several months just to cut down the trees. But because he didn't think carefully in advance, the boat was too far from the seaside, and he couldn't get the boat into the water. Now, years of hard work have been wasted, and all hope has been shattered. It wasn't until Friday appeared that this hope rose again! Robinson was a great man, a persevering man, who lived alone on this deserted island for 28 years. He dared to fight against the harsh environment, worked diligently, and managed the island in an orderly manner. He tempered himself in adversity and achieved an extraordinary career. This book teaches us that only perseverance can win, and only hard work can get us out of trouble. Hard work is more important than faith... My life will also set sail with this book. In the voyage of life, move forward bravely and never give up. , never give up, persist until the last moment!
