Robinson Crusoe
Robinson Crusoe is a fine man with magnificent qualities:
Physical appearance
1) Crusoe is a British by birth (so he is red faced)
2) He was fair as a city boy, but became tanned when he was shipwrecked on the island.
3) He is tall and has muddy brown hair, and whiskers.
4) He is not very clean as his surroundings, house, etc. are not exactly clean.
5) He has rough palms from all the labor he did on the island.
Characteristics
1) Stubborn: when John's father tells him to quit sailing he refuses.
2) Creative: On the island he makes a lot of different kinds of items which he uses wisely.
3) Bossy: When he was a slave he used the word "subjects" when referring to Xury and Ishmael.
4) Brave: On the island he was brave enough to explore the island.
5) Discriminating: The name he gives to the tribal person he rescue's is "Friday". But if he rescued an English man, then he would have given a better name.
6) Risk Taker: He leaves his parents to lead a sailors life, which is risky.
Problem solving
Crusoe deals with problems well, but sometimes he makes foolish decisions:
1) I feel he should not have left his home, or at least say goodbye to them.
2) He should've returned home after he got a second chance, but his ambition overwhelmed him.
3) He traded wisely (with the help of Culpeper), and did not trade at places he would not get profits in, soon he had a small found fortune.
4) When he was leading a plantation life, he should've just settled there instead of going back on a voyage.
5) When he was on the island, he was smart to make the fire in the cave, so that the natives would not see the smoke.
6) When the animals and birds starting eating his crops on the island, he thought of a clever way to get rid of them. (for the birds he put feathers all around his mini farm, and for animals (mostly hares) he built a wall around his farm)
7) When he started getting bored of the island, he constructed a raft and left the island once and for all!
