Post 2 Noelle

I am reading The Adventures of Robinson Crusoe by Daniel Defoe. I have read through chapter eight. So far Robinson has landed on an island where he has lived alone for 25 years. Cannibals have now inhabited the island, and an escaped prisoner is now living with Robinson as he servant (because Robinson saved him). This book is getting more and more interesting, but it has not quite grabbed my full attention. I think the author wrote this to show the challenges and loneliness people may face living alone and abandoned. The theme is overcoming obstacles. The best character is Robinson, because none of the savages nor his servant have been very explained. Robinson has grown to be a very intelligent man who has used his resources to survive. A cool quotation is "Yet, the words sounded pleasant to Robinson's ears, for they were the first sounds of a man's voice he had heard in twenty-five years." This quotation shows how lonely Robinson was on the island. One question I have is: will Robinson's servant be faithful? Another is: Will the savages find Robinson's fortress?
