Although I have not yet finished Robinson Crusoe, I can honestly say that I cannot put this book down. The hardships, emotions, and struggles Robinson goes through seem so fascinating and real. To me he seems philosophical. I kept going back to this one line in which the author wrote, " Today we love what tomorrow we hate; today we seek what tomorrow we shun; today we desire what tomorrow we fear..." In a way I believe Robinson has been living his life on the island through this quote; he desires to leave the island that he has spent so many years perfecting, but fears where he will end up if he leaves.

Janet,I feel the same way as I am reading this book. Robinson Crusoe is such an amazing character and I am just amazed at all the things that he has been through. He seems real and at the same time unreal to me becuause of all the things that he has experienced in his life. It really makes me wonder if a person can actually survive all the situations that Crusoe survived?
