In the west, there is a novel. /kloc-Rousseau, the most outstanding thinker in Europe in the 0/8th century, once suggested that every growing teenager, especially a boy, should read it. So, what kind of book is this?

This book is called Robinson Crusoe. The story is not complicated: Robinson, born in a businessman's family, is unwilling to live a mediocre life like his father, and longs for an overseas life full of adventure and challenges. So he resolutely gave up his comfortable life and set sail from home privately to realize his dream of traveling around the world, but every time he went through hardships. Once, a storm capsized his boat and Robinson was thrown to a desolate place by the waves.

Apart from the wonderful and bizarre story, the most attractive part of this novel is Robinson. He dares to take risks and pursues a free and unrestrained life. Even if he lives on a desert island, he will not be discouraged. On an uninhabited island lacking the most basic living conditions, he was alone and overcame many difficulties that ordinary people could not imagine. He survived tenaciously with amazing perseverance. Without a house, he built it himself. Without food, he is lonely. Trained goats and dried wild raisins, he groped for tables and chairs, made pottery and dried noodles with scarves to make bread. In the 24th year on the island, he also saved a savage and named him "Friday". Under his education, "Friday" became a faithful slave. In this way, Robinson established his own material and spiritual kingdom on a desert island. Facing the difficulties of life, Robinson. It shows the tenacious character and heroic nature, and embodies the creative spirit and pioneering spirit of the emerging bourgeoisie. Now, in the west, "Robinson" has become synonymous with adventurers and a hero in the eyes of millions of readers in Qian Qian.

Defoe, the author, once commented on Robinson: Image is the creator who is uneasy about the status quo, brave in action, brave in pursuit, fearless of difficulties and obstacles, and opens up a new world according to the model of modern civilization.

Many people just want to be content with the status quo, and it is best to live a happy life without any storms, but they don't know that people who haven't experienced big storms can't stand any blows and challenges. Some people get what they want after some tests, but once they lose it, they can't get up, because they are afraid of going through a lot of trouble and encountering a difficult problem. The mouse in Who Moved My Cheese howled and hurried. After losing the hard-won cheese, he put on his shoes without hesitation and immediately started a new search. In this way, their mentality and mood will be more calm, because they know how to pursue, so their distance is not far away. The same is true in real life. Phelps, who suddenly emerged in the Athens Olympic Games, is the representative of "courage". He is only 19 years old, but he won five gold medals and two bronze medals in the swimming events of this Olympic Games, winning one by one in the seven events he participated in. Although many people laughed at him for crossing the sea before the Olympic Games, he said: You have to win more than seven gold medals in one fell swoop to break the world record. But have you ever seriously thought that he only has 65438+? At an age when he can only live for himself, he dares to blow his own horn. Although he didn't break the record, he was strong enough to realize this wish in the 2008 Olympic Games. He also dares to realize it. Behind his success is countless days of hard swimming practice.

So is Robinson. If he hadn't left home, his life wouldn't be so wonderful. In his eyes, there is only money, and he lives a life of "clothes to reach out and food to open his mouth". He won't know how to make things with his own hands and defend his home. He dares to challenge the world: running away from home; He has the courage to fight against nature: he was not submerged after the big waves washed the sand; He has the courage to act: on a desert island, he saw that the prisoner was about to be killed and eaten by savages and gave his life to save him-a stranger; He has the courage to pursue: what he wants-challenges and tempering.

Defoe's works are exquisite and lifelike. Although the plot is fictional, it often makes readers feel immersive, which is one of the reasons why his works are loved by people all over the world.

Introduction to Robinson: Robinson loved sailing since he was a child. He left home and traveled around South America three times. One day, he bid farewell to his family with great ambition to travel around the world, crossed the Atlantic Ocean and the Pacific Ocean, and experienced countless dangers in his thrilling voyage. Later, the whole ship was unfortunately buried in the Pacific Ocean, and everyone on board was buried at the bottom of the sea. Only he miraculously survived. He came to an uninhabited island alone. He got the inspiration of life from the gap of despair. Robinson, who has a strong personality, has lived independently on the island for 28 years. He worked and lived on the island, reclaimed wasteland, raised livestock, produced rice and wheat, and was accompanied by loneliness year after year, overcoming all kinds of difficulties that ordinary people could not overcome. The Bible became his spiritual pillar. With amazing perseverance and tenacious labor, he built a house and harvested it. Domesticate goats and make clothes out of skins. He once fought against beasts and savages who ate human flesh. Later, he saved an aborigine, called him "Friday" and took him as a servant. With extraordinary perseverance and courage, he overcame unimaginable hardships and created a home for himself with hard-working hands.

It was not until the 28th year that an English ship arrived near the island that Robinson helped the captain subdue the rebellious sailors and then returned to England. At this time, his parents died, and Robinson recovered all the income from his Brazilian manor and distributed it to some people who helped him.

Thoughts after reading: I saw Robinson Crusoe this holiday and benefited a lot. 1659 On September 30th, a man was caught in a terrible storm during a voyage and capsized. Except for him, no one lives. He was stranded on an island. With amazing perseverance and courage, he escaped from the island by his own wisdom after 28 years. This man is both unlucky and lucky.

The enlightenment to me is as follows:

First, some poor tools, although it is very troublesome to do things, can still complete the work as long as they use creativity.

Second, I want to learn spirit like him, because the future is still waiting for me to discover!

Third, everything is convenient now, thanks to our ancestors, because of their efforts, it is convenient.

Now, civilized life is no longer threatened by nature. However, looking back at human history, Robinson's experience can be said to be a process in which people use invented tools to confront and conquer nature. In fact, it is the driving force of civilization and progress to use simple tools to fight against nature and give full play to people's wisdom to enrich life, which is worth studying.
