13、nson is not a person who was born with courage to confront the adversity He is not a man who is eager to live stably But owing to his rebellious thoughts about sailing he is always faced with various adversities Why can he deal with the adversity well It is his attitude that is the most important fa

14、ctorWhen the adversity comes is he happy No Just as he said he had a dismal prospect of his condition It is easy to see that Robinson also felt miserable Though the adversity came unexpectedly and Robinson also complained about his condition in the beginning he can convert his thought to another one

15、But something always returned swift upon me to check these thoughts and to reprove me and particularly one day walking with my gun in my hand by the seaside I was very pensive upon the subject of my present condition when Reason as it were expostulated with me tother way thus Well you are in a desol

16、ate condition tis true but pray remember where are the rest of you Did not you come eleven of you into the boat Where are the ten Why were not they saved and you lost Why were you singled out Is it better to be here or there And then I pointed to the sea All evils are to be considered with the good

17、that is in them and with what worse attends them Daniel Defoe 49 It is his transposing thoughts that changed his attitudes towards life When he felt miserable about his condition he thought of his companions misfortunes He understood that his condition is not bad compared with them As he said All ev

18、ils are to be considered with the good that is in them and with what worse attends them It is just the same as the truth that to lose is another way to gain There is no doubt that Robinson lost many things such as his companions his comfortable lifeBut he got more He was survived which is the most i

19、mportant for him That is enough Life is everything Where there is life there is hopeBesides Robinson knew how to set the good against the evil to enjoy the comfortsEVILI am cast upon a horrible desolate island void of all hope of recoveryI am singled out and separated as it were from all the world t

21、 singled out too from all the ships crew to be spared from death and he that miraculously saved me from death can deliver me from this condition But I am not starved and perishing on a barren place affording no sustenance But I am in a hot climate where if I had clothes I could hardly wear them But

22、I am cast on an island where I see no wild beasts to hurt me as I saw on the of Africa And what if I had been shipwrecked there But God wonderfully sent the ship in near enough to the shore that I have gotten out so many necessary things as will either supply my wants or enable me to supply myself e

23、ven as long as I live Daniel Defoe 52 It is just as Robinson said that upon the whole here was an undoubted testimony that there was scarce any condition in the world so miserable but there was something negative or something positive to be thankful for in it and let this stand as a direction from t

24、he experience of the most miserable of all conditions in the world that we may always find in it something to comfort ourselves from and to set in the description of good and evil on the credit side of the accountRobinson made a comparison between the evil and good and understood that he got more th

25、an he lost indeed As time went on he learned to take more upon the bright side of his condition and less upon the dark side and to consider what he enjoyed rather than what he wanted Somebody thinks that if one gets great prestige he will lose the freedom that the ordinary have if one gets enormous

26、wealth he will lose the ease when he is sleeping if one gets brisk business he will lose a lot of timeIn a word if everyone can think of his own gain and loss seriously he will find that there is real loss in varying degrees in the process of gainingB Making Plans for the Future on the Island so tha

27、t I had a tolerable view of subsisting without any want as long as I lived for I considered from the beginning how I would provide for the accidents thatmight happen and for the time that was to come even not only after my ammunition should be spent but even after my health or strength should decay

28、Daniel Defoe 50 From this people can see that Robinson is a foresighted person When he ran into the adversity he could deal with it calmly and he could consider his future rationally Some people will lose his reasoning power when he is in a bad condition But Robinson made plans for his future life o

29、n the island For example he made a plan for his daily work every morning he walked out with his gun for two or three hours if it did not rain then worked until about eleven oclock then ate what he had and lay down to sleep from twelve to two as the weather was excessively hot and then continued to w

30、ork until the eveningHe made plan not only for his daily work but also for his food bullets andpowder His food was very limited He always ate cannily And he tried his best to find something eatable Some times he went hunting which he could get some meat for eating through And he tried to tame the sh

31、eep Then he got not only milk but also some mutton His bullets were used cannily and seriously Only when it is quite necessary he would use it As for his powder he considered it carefully he separated his stock of powder into many little parcels to avoid danger And he used them according to his plan

32、 Because he did not know how long he would live on the islandOwing to his consideration and plans for his future life he could live on the island for such a long time Assume that Robinson did not consider his future life and did not make a series of plans for it he spent his food bullets casually an

34、shortage of the necessity he did not give up but think of ways to make out those necessitiesWithout a table he could not write eat or do other things So he set to work and made a table and a chair He just took the materials he had Though it took him a lot of time and labor he finished them And when

35、he needed a basket in his life he tried many ways to make one But he failed Though he knew the methods he did not have the materials Observing carefully he found the twigs which were as tough as the osiers in England Then he tried again to make a basket with the twigs Finally he succeededHe also tri

36、ed to make some earthen vessels many times Owing to the soil structure he failed again and again After having labored hard to find the clay he made some jars and several small things Because of a happy accident he found a broken piece of one of his earthen vessels burnt as hard as a stone which brou

37、ght him an idea of burning the whole vessel Then he did so and he succeeded in making some vessels and some pots And he used these vessels and pots in his life Thesenecessities gave him some interest of lifeThough he had some certain necessity of life he was still in lack of a stone mortar He plante

38、d barley and rice so he needed a stone mortar to pound them into powder to make bread But he was unqualified for a stonecutter and the stone was in solid rock which was not fit for making a stone mortar After a great deal of time was wasted in searching for it he gave it up and resolved to look out

39、for a great block of hard wood He finished it and he ate the bread made by himself at last which provided Robinson more food and made his life more wonderfulAs Robinson said that reason is the substance and original of the mathematics so by stating and squaring everything by reason and by making the

42、t Robinson survivedThough he was unfortunate he refreshed and began to plan for his own life though he was in lack of many things he tried his best to make them out not to just think about what he wanted though the things he made were not good enough they could be useful in his life though he met wi

43、th many difficulties he never gave up He was perseverant until he was savedLiving on an island alone for twenty-eight years is too difficult for a person And he lived on the island with limited necessities This was more difficult And during the twenty-eight years Robinson lived comfortably and creat
