Answers
Answer:
Robinson Crusoe, as a young and impulsive wanderer, defied his parents and went to sea. He was involved in a series of violent storms at sea and was warned by the captain that he should not be a seafaring man. Ashamed to go home, Crusoe boarded another ship and returned from a successful trip to Africa. Taking off again, Crusoe met with bad luck and was taken prisoner in Sallee. His captors sent Crusoe out to fish, and he used this to his advantage and escaped, along with a slave.He was rescued by a Portuguese ship and started a new adventure. He landed in Brazil, and, after some time, he became the owner of a sugar plantation. Hoping to increase his wealth by buying slaves, he aligned himself with other planters and undertook a trip to Africa in order to bring back a shipload of slaves. After surviving a storm, Crusoe and the others were shipwrecked. He was thrown upon shore only to discover that he was the sole survivor of the wreck.
Crusoe made immediate plans for food, and then shelter, to protect himself from wild animals. He brought as many things as possible from the wrecked ship, things that would be useful later to him. In addition, he began to develop talents that he had never used in order to provide himself with necessities. Cut off from the company of men, he began to communicate with God, thus beginning the first part of his religious conversion. To keep his sanity and to entertain himself, he began a journal. In the journal, he recorded every task that he performed each day since he had been marooned.
As time passed, Crusoe became a skilled craftsman, able to construct many useful things, and thus furnished himself with diverse comforts. He also learner about farming, as a result of some seeds which he brought with him. An illness prompted some prophetic dreams, and Crusoe began to reappraise his duty to God. Crusoe explored his island and discovered another part of the island much richer and more fertile, and he built a summer home there
After spending about fifteen years on the island, Crusoe found a man's naked footprint, and he was sorely beset by apprehensions, which kept him awake many nights. He considered many possibilities to account for the footprint and he began to take extra precautions against a possible intruder. Sometime later, Crusoe was horrified to find human bones scattered about the shore, evidently the remains of a savage feast. He was plagued again with new fears. He explored the nature of cannibalism and debated his right to interfere with the customs of another race.
Crusoe was cautious for several years, but encountered nothing more to alarm him. He found a cave, which he used as a storage room, and in December of the same year, he spied cannibals sitting around a campfire. He did not see them again for quite some time.
Later, Crusoe saw a ship in distress, but everyone was already drowned on the ship and Crusoe remained companionless. However, he was able to take many provisions from this newly wrecked ship. Sometime later, cannibals landed on the island and a victim escaped. Crusoe saved his life, named him Friday, and taught him English. Friday soon became Crusoe's humble and devoted slave
.
Crusoe and Friday made plans to leave the island and, accordingly, they built another boat. Crusoe also undertook Friday's religious education, converting the savage into a Protestant. Their voyage was postponed due to the return of the savages. This time it was necessary to attack the cannibals in order to save two prisoners since one was a white man. The white man was a Spaniard and the other was Friday's father. Later the four of them planned a voyage to the mainland to rescue sixteen compatriots of the Spaniard. First, however, they built up their food supply to assure enough food for the extra people. Crusoe and Friday agreed to wait on the island while the Spaniard and Friday's father brought back the other men.
A week later, they spied a ship but they quickly learned that there had been a mutiny on board. By devious means, Crusoe and Friday rescued the captain and two other men, and after much scheming, regained control of the ship. The grateful captain gave Crusoe many gifts and took him and Friday back to England. Some of the rebel crewmen were left marooned on the island.
Crusoe returned to England and found that in his absence he had become a wealthy man. After going to Lisbon to handle some of his affairs, Crusoe began an overland journey back to England. Crusoe and his company encountered many hardships in crossing the mountains, but they finally arrived safely in England. Crusoe sold his plantation in Brazil for a good price, married, and had three children. Finally, however, he was persuaded to go on yet another voyage, and he visited his old island, where there were promises of new adventures to be found in a later account.

Answer:
A day on an island .
Explanation:
The waves left me on the sea shore at mid night . When I opened my eyes I was alive I couldn't believe how mesmerized I felt that time . the land was half white sand and other half was full of trees and herbs . I imagined it as a jungle anyway . The moment I started walking inside , there were monkeys howling in and out the jungle , Kukos singing in their magnificent voice and ofcourse there were rats too and then suddenly I heard a hard voice , without thinking of anything else I ran as fast as I could, when I realized the voice is getting closer and more closer I couldn't even take breath . After sometime I saw the jungle is about to end and when I reached its ending site I found the land ended too . So, here I realized I am on an island .
I looked back and found no one behind, took a deep breath and I started thinking what to do next while sitting on a huge rock which was frequently slapped by the waves at this time .
The sun was shining bright and high exactly on the top of my head. I took another assumption about the time as 12 noon . So , now I have more 6 hours to search for a place to sleep and food along .
After 2hours of search I found a banana tree I was glad I found it but then I didn't know how to climb trees . Also, banana trees aren't like other trees they are smooth and hard too climb . I tried to push it a little in hope that banana might fall , but I failed . I found a creeper with tough fiber . It's steam was tough and so I pulled out it leaves for better grip . Then I made a knot and threw it on the tree's branch . I stretched my arms and gave my one hundred percent effort to bend it after 30mins of hard work I ended up getting four bananas . And I decided to eat them in dinner not now .
Now the only thing I need to search for was a shelter . I walked in the entire jungle but coulded find a single suitable place for making a bonfire . Atlast I ended up making a bonfire near the sea shore with dried sticks and megma stone . I sat near the fire and closed my eyes , my entire body my paining and my eyes were burning due the weakness . I started feeling I might not be able to survive at thi place for long . I might end up here soon . I felt like crying I was missing my people , are they dead ? a sudden thought stricken into my mind . But then I saw a boat coming next to me , I got scared again , "a pyrate ? or a group of them " I couldn't store guts to run into the jungle as I was scared of the morning happening all ready . I sat and started crying louder . But then I heard a voice calling out my name "Le we are here don't worry" . Oh! it's my friend Buron , a smiled burst out my face .
